The reaction between binding intrinsic factor antibody and intrinsic factor-vitamin B(12) complex has been studied. Initially in the zone of antibody excess, the relationship between the amount of antigen present and the amount of antigen-antibody complex adsorbed onto zirconium phosphate gel was linear. With increasing amounts of antigen, the curve departed from linearity and reached a plateau...

The studies of Cowgill and his associates2 3 indicate clearly that the metabolic rate is one factor determining the organism's requirement for vitamin B. Increase of this factor by the administration of thyroid7 and by means of forced exercise4 has been found to be associated with a rise in the vitamin B requirement. As an extension of this work it was deemed desirable to ascertain the effect, ...

In experiments previously described (Braude, 1949) we observed a growth-stimulating effect in suckling pigs dosed with a liver extract, whereas we obtained no response to dosing with pure crystalline vitamin B,, (Braude & Mitchell, unpublished results). Following reports from the United States of America about the growthpromoting effect of various antibiotics (Stokstad, Jukes, Pierce, Page & Fr...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that leads to sudden loss of motor and autonomic function and sensory under the level of the injury. Studies showed that individuals with SCI has a clear tendency to vitamins level change. The aim of this study was to review the vitamins level in spinal cord injury. Vitamins C level decrease in the injured spinal cord patient. Vitamins C hav...

BACKGROUND Development of new multimodal analgesic regimens have led to substantial improvement in postoperative pain relief. We designed this study to compare the effect of combined vitamin B complex-gabapentin versus gabapentin alone on postoperative pain in women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. METHODS One hundred twenty-eight women who underwent cesarean section under...

Cases of cardiac failure due to deficiency in vitamin BI have been recognized in this country, and although the number of reported cases is small, their recognition is important since treatment by adequate doses of vitamin Bl is rapidly effective, whereas the usual methods of treatment fail. Most cases so far reported occurred in patients drinking too much alcohol and living on an inadequate di...
