statement of problem: periodontal disease (pd) has been linked to adverse cardiovascular events by unknown mechanisms. c-reactive protein (crp) is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular disease, with reported elevated serum levels during pd. purpose: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between pd and higher crp levels in the serum of acute myocardial infarction (ami) pa...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : previous reports have suggested acute phase proteins, such as albumin, to alter in hemodialysis (hd) patients. intravenous l-carnitine supplementation is expected to improve the level of plasma albumin in hd patients. this study was performed to evaluate the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on hemog...

analyzing the synovial fluid is one of the common methods to diagnose the articular problems to detect the stage and express the prognosis. such gross, cytological, and biochemical analysis of synovial fluids can aid in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. objectives: normal values for synovial fluid in the camels have been described previously; however, there are no reports regarding conce...

introduction: evaluating patient with acute scrotum is based on medical history (e.g. age), physical examination, blood tests, urine analysis and imaging studies. differential diagnosis may be difficult. efficacy of serum acute phase proteins in patients with acute scrotum was assessed in this study. materials and methods : 45 patients were recruited and allocated within three sub-groups; acute...

c-reactive protein (crp) is an acute-phase protein synthesized predominantly by the hepatocytes in response to tissue damage or inflammation. levels of acute-phase proteins rise rapidly, during infection and after injury. we take up the study to correlate serum crp levels with other important predictive markers of outcome in copd. patient with stable copd (no exacerbation in the last two months...

The discovery of large amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum of patients during the acute phase of pneumococcal pneumonia in 1930 focused interest on the plasma protein changes that accompany inflammatory states. CRP and other plasma proteins whose concentrations rose significantly under such circumstances were accordingly referred to as acute-phase proteins (APP). The subsequent rea...
