abstract background: primary hyperparathyroidism is autonomous production of parathyroid hormone. after removal of adenoma, one of the surgeons concern is postoperative hypocalcaemia. there is no precise method to determine if patients have hypocalcaemia postoperatively. the purpose of this study was to determine the relation between parathyroid adenoma weights, postoperative serum calcium and ...

objective(s): titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles (nps) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase tio2 nps on serum bioc...

during the past two decades, a variety of serum or cerebrospinal fluid (csf) biochemical markers in daily clinical practice have been recommended to diagnose and monitor diverse diseases or pathologic situations. it will be essential to develop a panel of biomarkers, to be suitable for evaluation of treatment efficacy, representing distinct phases of injury and recovery and consider the tempora...

the aim of the study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the association of birth weight with later body mass index (bmi) from the biochemical markers related to metabolism and the apa i polymorphism in igf-ii gene.a total of 300 children were selected randomly from the macrosomia birth cohort in wuxi, china. the height and weight were measured and blood samples were collected. plasma conc...

Early assessment of the severity of an acute cerebral lesion secondary to hypoxia-ischemia or other pathologic conditions may provide a very useful basis for preventive or therapeutic decisions in pediatric patients. In the present review, we discuss the diagnostic and prognostic value of a series of biochemical parameters, with special reference to the diagnosis of neonatal HIE. Currently many...
