abstract background patients who are to receive chemotherapy require careful assessment of liver function prior to treatment to determine which drugs may not be appropriate, and which drug doses should be modified. following therapy abnormalities of liver function tests may be due to the therapy rather than to progressive disease, and this distinction is of critical importance. toxicity such as...

the liver is an organ at risk (oar) in radiotherapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors such as gastric, distal esophagus, lower lung and breast, bile duct, pancreas and whole abdomen. in this study the alteration in liver functional tests (lft) of these patients during radiotherapy was investigated. to that end, the level of serum aspartate aminotransferase (ast), alanine aminotransferase (alt), ...

The recent introduction of high-speed networks, faster processors, and the rapid growth of heterogeneous large-scale distributed systems has enabled the development of distributed applications that move beyond the client-server model to truly harness the computational potential of distributed systems. These new applications will be structured around groups of agents that communicate using messa...

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as the hepatic manifestation of insulin resistance (IR) syndrome. The effect of insulin sensitizers on liver function tests and metabolic indices in NAFLD patients is a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to compare the effects of two different insulin sensitizers, pioglitazone, and metformin, on liver function t...

OBJECTIVE Oral cyclophosphamide (CYC) is a promising therapy for Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-related interstitial lung disease (ILD). The use of intravenous (i.v.) pulses has been considered as an alternative route of drug administration, possibly associated with reduced toxicity. Our objectives were to re-evaluate our experience with i.v. CYC, to review the literature, and to pool our results wit...

Symbolic preprocessing techniques are very useful to obtain low order LFT-representations for parametric models. In this paper we give an overview about existing preprocessing methods and we present new techniques and enhancements of existing methods. All methods are implemented in the new version 2 of the LFR-toolbox and their capabilities are illustrated by a challenging aircraft parametric u...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder due to insulin resistance caused by destruction of beta cells pancreas. Insulin in newly diagnosed type patients leads hyperglycemia. Serum amylase and lipase levels an exocrine enzyme produced acinar Altered serum endocrine disorders, syndrome mellitus.Methods: This case-control study conducted Akash Institute Medical Science...

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a primary therapeutic modality for managing individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, and its efficacy has been established. However, the safety profiles of ART need to be continually monitored, including early elevated liver function test (LFT) after antiretroviral (ARV) initiation. This study aimed assess incidence abnormal LFT among HIV-po...
