BLOOD PICTURE BEFORE AND AFTER GOETSCH EPINEPHRIN TEST

Users’ satisfaction with imaging services before and after the implementation of picture archiving and communication system

  Introduction: The picture archiving and communication system is a digital device designed for processing, archiving and communicating medical images with different parts of hospitals, physicians and radiologists. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the impact of the system on users’ satisfaction with imaging services before and after its implementation. Methods: This cross-secti...

Variations of blood glucose level in non-diabetic patients before and after Electroconvulsive Therapy

Introduction: Application of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the induction of generalized seizure was first introduced in 1938. It is applied for disorders as severe depression particularly for cases which do not respond to drug therapy, or during pregnancy when medication is detrimental to the fetus. The debate on the effect of ECT on blood glucose level is still contradictory. However, st...

The adrenalin (epinephrin) test as applied to hematologic disorders.

AND MARIO STEFANINI, sI.D.t H EMATOLOGIC CHANGES following the subcutaneous injection of epinephrin were first described by Loeper and Crouzon in 1903.’ Leukocytosis of varying degrees after parenteral administration of epmephrin has since been regularly observed by all investigators.28 Epinephrin-induced leukocytosis appears to occur in two distinct phases: (1) an early phase, due mainly to an...

Sclerostin blood levels before and after kidney transplantation.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Sclerostin is secreted by osteocytes. As a circulating inhibitor of the Wnt-signaling pathway it inhibits bone formation and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Sclerostin levels are elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Since data for patients after kidney transplantation are scarce, we have prospectively measured sclerostin l...
