Gamma Globulin Levels in Psychiatric Patients

Phenotype and Gamma Globulin Levels

In 1964, de Grouchy described the clinical picture associated with partial monosomy for No. 18 chromosome due to a deletion of part of the long arms (de Grouchy et al., 1964a, b). Subsequent case reports have confirmed a phenotypic similarity in individuals with this deletion. Edwards and associates (1960) described a new autosomal trisomy, that of chromosome 18. Since their report, there have ...

Plasma Gamma Globulin Levels After Splenectomy and Spleen Salvage

A series of plasma globulin studies was carried out on 108 patients who were operated on for splenic trauma during the last 3 years. The reasons for splenectomy or spleen salvage were; gunshot wounds in 22 patients (20.3%); stab injuries in 10 patients (9.2%) and blunt abdominal trauma in 76 patients (70.3%). Plasma gamma globulin determinations were made on the 8th postoperative day and at 3 m...

Serum Levels of Interferon-Gamma in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy

Background: In recent years, numerous studies have addressed the role of other factors, especially the immune system, on developing diabetic retinopathy. Given the role of  interferons in regulating immune system activities, the present study was conducted to investigate serum levels of interferon-gamma in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Materials and Methods: The present research was condu...

Gamma globulin prophylaxis.

THE importance of infectious hepatitis as a world-wide problem has been highlighted in detail during the presentations made at this symposium. It is clear that as of today (May I 8, I968) there is no published report confirming the isolation of infectious hepatitis virus in a tissue-culture system or animal host. Experience with poliomyelitis, measles, and rubella has revealed that the time int...
