GFAP expression as an indicator of disease severity in mouse models of Alexander disease
AxD (Alexander disease) is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) resulting in accumulation of the GFAP protein and elevation of Gfap mRNA. To test whether GFAP itself can serve as a biomarker of disease status or progression, we investigated two independent measures of GFAP expression in AxD mouse models, one using a genetic reporter of promo...
متن کاملSerum troponin I as an indicator of myocarditis in lambs affected with foot and mouth disease
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife results to relatively high mortality in young animals. Despite the numerous reports of FMD-related death in neonates, there is little data available on various aspects of FMD in lambs. This report describes myocarditis associated with FMD in five, one week to three months old lambs. The lam...
متن کاملSLOPE PROFILE MORPHOMETRY AS AN INDICATOR FOR SLOPE MOVEMENT
Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...
متن کاملMean Platelet Volume (MPV) as an indicator of disease activity and severity in lupus
Amongst the different clinical and laboratory parameters used to Background: monitor disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mean platelet volume (MPV) is a novel biomarker. Although MPV has been studied in other rheumatological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, its role in adult SLE needs to be defined, especially in Pakistan. The aim of this study was to Methods: evaluate ...
متن کاملMulticenter prospective study of procalcitonin as an indicator of sepsis.
The clinical significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) for discriminating between bacterial infectious disease and nonbacterial infectious disease (such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)), was compared with the significance of endotoxin, beta-D: -glucan, interleukin (IL)-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in a multicenter prospective study. The concentrations of PCT in patients wit...
