In the course of a study on the albumin variants in 36 unrelated subjects with genetic bisalbuminemia, we have observed, in the serum of a French blood donor, a new fast-moving variant. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis at pH 8.6 showed that this variant, so-called albumin 'Vanves', moved slowlier
The stability of 18 batches of anti-D immunoglobulin preparations from 7 European manufacturers was studied over 28-day incubation at +37 degrees C and 3-year storage at +4 degrees C. The mean loss of activity after 28 days at +37 degrees C was 12.3 +/- 8.2%, and after 3 years at +4 degrees C 15.2
The relative mobility of albumin and proalbumin genetic variants was estimated by means of cellulose acetate electrophoresis performed with three buffer systems at different pH (8.6, 5.0, and 6.9) after addition of a reference protein and dilution of sera. Numerous experiments using samples of
BACKGROUND
The administration of human albumin (HA) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis is still debated. The European Foundation for the Study of Chronic Liver Failure (EF-CLIF) promoted an online survey to assess its use across Europe.
METHODS
Hepatologists were invited to participate to an
The sperm of European eel shows a high density and the time of spermatozoa motility is very short after activation with sea water. These characteristics make difficult the sperm handling and its quality assessment. Several diluents were previously described for the Japanese eel obtaining over 3
BACKGROUND
Malnutrition is common in dialysis patients and closely related to morbidity and mortality. Therefore, assessment of nutritional status and nutritional management of dialysis patients play a central role in everyday nephrological practice.
METHODS
Achieving a consensus on key points
OBJECTIVE
Life and death triage decisions are made daily by intensive care unit physicians. Scoring systems have been developed for prognosticating intensive care unit mortality but none for intensive care unit triage. The objective of this study was to develop an intensive care unit triage decision
BACKGROUND
Blood biochemistry and hematology are essential in the laboratory diagnosis of disease. In Strigiformes, little information regarding reference values and influence of different preanalytic factors is available, while age is known to have an effect on some biochemistry analytes,
BACKGROUND
Hematology and serum biochemistry values can be useful for evaluating the health of populations of captive and free-living European brown hares (Lepus europaeus). However, current information is fragmented and incomplete.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine normal
European guidelines recommend annual screening for microalbuminuria in patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) of greater than 5 years' duration and in those with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) from diagnosis. To determine the current provision of
Patients with CKD exhibit significant within-patient hemoglobin (Hb) level variability, especially with the use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron. Analyses of dialysis cohorts in the United States produced conflicting results regarding the association of Hb variability with
Hematologic and serum chemistry values were determined for 20 adult captive European wildcats (Felis silvestris) in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain). Seven wildcats (4 females and 3 males) were captured in the wild and 13 (4 females and 9 males) were born and raised in captivity. Samples were collected
Inadequate vitamin B-6 status is common among elderly people. It is still unclear to what extent factors other than reduced vitamin B-6 intake are responsible for this. We studied the vitamin B-6 intake and status [measured as plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)] in 546 elderly Europeans, aged 74-76
We investigated the possible differences in epidemiology, clinical course, management, and outcome between early and late occurrence of shock using data from the Sepsis Occurrence in Acutely Ill Patients Study, a large European multicenter study, which prospectively collected data from all adult
