ESR studies on spin-labeled amorphous RNase A as a function of varying concentrations of sorbed H2O and D2O will be presented. A relaxation analysis of saturation transfer (ST-)ESR spectra of 14N(1H) nitroxide spin-label molecules essentially fixed at amino acid residue His-105 will be given. A characteristic correlation has been observed between the microdynamic behavior--expressed by the rota...

introduction: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) remains as one of the most reliable tests in clinical practices. yet its use is time consuming and requires a large blood sample. the aim of this study was assessing a faster and reliable method of esr estimation. methods: an esr estimation method was described and performed on 108 patients using capillary tube (micro esr) and capillary periphe...

In this study, some mechanical properties of borided and unborided four steels were investigated. Boronizing of steels was performed by powder pack method at 1210 K for 4 h. The hardness of borides, boride layer thickness and room temperature tensile properties were measured and it was observed that hardness and tensile properties strongly depend on chemical composition of steels. In addition, ...

Dear Editor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a useful basic clinical pathology laboratory investigation. It can be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of several diseases. At present, a new automated method with proven reliability is available for ESR test  (1). Here, the authors report on observation on a laboratory experiment to test the effect of zinc nanoparticles on ESR results. The...

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients diagnosed with “probable,” “probable — laboratory supported,” and “definite” ALS, seen in the Wake Forest ALS Clinic from May 2009-May 2012. The following test results were analyzed in 105 individuals with ALS: anti-nuclear antibody, calcium, creatine kinase (CK), c-reactive protein, copper, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),...

INTRODUCTION Over the past decades, it has been recommended that preoperative assessment mainly relies on history and physical examination rather than unnecessary laboratory tests. In Iranian hospitals, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) has been routinely measured in most of the patients awaiting major surgery, which has in turn exacted heavy costs on the health system. Therefore, the aim of...
