Clinical practice guidelines on the prescription of albumin were instituted in our hospital according to a method which combined a review of the medical literature with experts points of view. Their broadcasting was based upon a daily patient-specific decision support which was well-documented by

Until recently, the characterization of genetic variants of human serum albumin was performed by electrophoretic typing prior to the determination of their amino acid substitutions. We describe a procedure using isoelectric focusing in the presence of urea for the analysis of the genetic variation

OBJECTIVE To measure the prevalence and analyse the characteristics of malnutrition among subjects attending an AIDS outpatient clinic and a day care center, to improve the nutritional management of HIV-infected subjects. METHODS Prospective cross-sectional study. METHODS AIDS clinic in a University

The superimposition of pathological processes on ageing-related metabolic changes makes the interpretation of laboratory data difficult in the elderly. Therefore, in order to establish reference values of anthropometric, hematological and biochemical variables, we have carefully selected fit,

In the burned patient, the critical threshold over which a correction of hypoalbuminemia is required has not yet been clearly defined. The level of 30 g.L-1 of albumin is usually admitted. According to the extent of the burn, albumin is not indicated in patients with a burn size below 15% of the

Since January 1, 1995, the supply, stockage, dispensing and traceability of Blood Derivative Medicinal Products (BDMP) are subject to pharmaceutical regulations. A review of 24 months' application at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital is presented and analysed. A distinction is drawn between two

The study objective was to investigate bronchial mucociliary clearance after heart/lung and double lung transplantation. Bronchial mucociliary clearance was measured using a noninvasive radioaerosol technique: 99mTc-labeled albumin was aerosolized using a spinning-top generator (mass median

Serum proteins and their electrophoretic fractions: albumin-alpha-1 globulin (Alb-alpha-1), alpha-2 and alpha-3 globulins, beta and gamma globulins have been included in the Paris Prospective Study which has concerned 7434 middle-aged men free of any atherosclerotic disease at entry and followed-up

The AJR (alb/alb, j/j) strain is semi-lethal and the rats die at about two weeks of age. Cross breeding with a pari of ACJ (alb/alb, j/+) is required for maintenance and production. We studied the treatment of AJRs for improvement of the breeding system. AJRs with jaundice on the skin at about 7

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cause of the anaphylactic reaction after a standard artificial insemination process in a patient diagnosed with asthma. METHODS Case report. METHODS Residencia Sanitaria Virgen de la Arrixaca (Murcia, Spain) and University of the Basque Country (Vitoria, Spain). METHODS A

BACKGROUND Albumin dialysis with the Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) (Gambro, Lund, Sweden), a noncell artificial liver support device, may be beneficial in acute liver failure (ALF). OBJECTIVE To determine whether MARS improves survival in ALF. METHODS Randomized, controlled trial.

BACKGROUND In primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), biochemical criteria at 1 year are considered surrogates of response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, due to the slow natural history of PBC, evaluation at 1 year may be suboptimal to assess the therapeutic response, particularly in early

Bioavailability of an aerosolized anti-inflammatory protein, soluble interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R), was measured in patients with asthma using two different aerosol delivery systems, a prototype aerosol delivery system (AERx tethered model, Aradigm, Hayward, CA) and PARI LC STAR nebulizer (Pari,

OBJECTIVE The effects of a natural surface-active agent, sodium taurocholate (NaTC), on the absorption of a hydrophilic solute, technetium-99m-labelled diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA), deposited at various sites within the airways were evaluated in this open, cross-over, and

We describe the amino acid substitutions of albumins Sondrio and Paris 2, two slow moving variants of human serum albumin, which show an identical electrophoretic mobility on cellulose acetate at three different pH values. These variants have been found in several instances in a wide geographic area
