Biochemical analysis of CSF plays an important role in the diagnosis of CNS infections 1 . Certain factors such as lack of laboratory facilities, time taken for the sample to reach the laboratory and the time consuming conventio...

We previously demonstrated that a mathematical formula successfully corrects for the effect of hematocrit (HCT) alone, improving glycemic regulation . Studies suggest multiple biologic parameters such as oxygen tension, acid base balance, and various pharmacological agents also affect the accuracy of handheld glucometers 4, . A newly released 4-channel POC analyzer measures and eliminates the m...

biosensors are classes of sensors in which at least a biological process is used in sensing procedure. they are generally composed of three parts: a sensing element, a transducer, and a signal processor (or detector). they can be categorized by type of sensing materials or by detection techniques. from their invention time up to now, various biological species have been analyzed using variety o...

Diabetes and obesity are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Fig (Ficus carica L.) one of the plants is well known in traditional medicine system their medicinal therapeutic potentials. leaves contain flavonoid triterpenoid compounds which have antimetabolic effect. Streptozotocin used to make diabetogenic rats produce hyperglycemia conditions test animals high-fat diet model obesity. This stu...
