An abnormal protein has been isolated ported occurrence of a urinary Bence from both the serum and urine of a paJones tetramer. The sedimentation coeftient with generalized amyloidosis and ficient of the protein was 5.OS, and its plasmacytic dyscrasia. Immunological molecular weight 79,000. Reduction and and biochemical techniques were used to alkylation, electrophoresis, and ultracendemonstrat...

The aim of this observational study was to biochemically characterize the anaemia in GCA (giant cell arteritis) and PMR (polymyalgia rheumatica) patients. Values for mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and soluble transferrin receptor were normal, whereas serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were subnormal, and mean ferritin was above the upper reference limit. Iro...

behcet´s disease (bd) is accepted as a systemic vasculitis. vasculitis is observed  predominantly on the venous system. vessel involvement is frequently seen in males. this study was planned retrospectively evaluate demographic features, clinical features, vessel involvements in bd. furthermore, we aimed to prospectively compare consecutively chosen patients with and without thrombosis and heal...

Abstract Sequencing batch reactor systems in wastewater treatment is widely applied activated sludge technology. The system performance not only dependent on the raw sewage quality and biochemical processes, but flow pattern within has a significant impact itself. varying stages of operation require different fluid conditions; biological stage shall be appropriately mixed, whereas low velocity ...

the transfer and sedimentation in storage dams reduce the volume and damage the life of water reservoirs. due to the importance of water, its storage, and the cost time of constructing reservoirs, especially the scarcity of construncting sites for them, a lot of attentions should be given to the sedimentation of dam reservoirs. it requires the estimate of thew sedimentation and its management. ...

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder which is uncommon in men. It has a wide variety of clinical presentations. Case Report: We report a 21-year-old male presented with one month history of fever, loss of appetite, weight loss and reduced hair growth with an examination revealing an oral ulcer, cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy simulating ...

Zeta sedimentation ratio (ZSR) is a simple, rapid and reproducible test which is not influenced by variables like sex and anemia. There is good correlation with Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation ratio (ESR) in normal and hospital population. Limitation of packing force affects the use of the procedure in polycythemia and in patients with ZSR greater than 80%.
