Serum creatine phosphokinase estimations in myocardial infarction.
Since the initial report on the clinical value of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT) determinations in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (LaDue, Wroblewski, and Karmen, 1954), a considerable amount of work has been done on the blood levels of other enzymes liberated from necrosed heart cells. Because of lack of specificity and difficulty of estimation, very few other enzyme esti...
متن کاملSerum Lactic Dehydrogenase Estimations in Myocardial Infarction.
The clinical features presented by coronary occlusion with myocardial infarction are such that, together with electrocardiographic evidence, a correct diagnosis is usually possible (Price, 1950). Electrocardiographic changes, however, may sometimes be delayed, and in about 6 per cent of cases no change is detectable at all (Lancet, 1958). To assist in diagnosing these cases, enzyme tests have b...
متن کاملProblems of lithium prophylaxis: efficacy, serum lithium, selection of patients.
For safe and effective lithium prophylaxis the following points should be given attention: (1) selection of patients, (2) treatment management, (3) treatment monitoring, and (4) information and instruction. Indications for lithium treatment depend not only on diagnosis but also on factors predicting the extent to which the patient would be at risk of relapse without lithium. The criteria used f...
متن کاملEstimations of serum arabinitol for diagnosing invasive candidosis.
Arabinitol concentrations were determined in 157 serum samples from 95 patients with suspected invasive candidosis and in 10 serum samples from healthy laboratory workers. Fifty eight of the 95 patients, subsequently diagnosed as not having invasive candidosis had concentrations of arabinitol below 1.2 micrograms/ml (mean 0.59 (SD) 0.26). Sera from the healthy laboratory workers gave similar re...
متن کاملDiagnositic value of serum bile acid estimations in liver disease.
Bile acid concentrations were estimated enzymatically in fasting and postprandial (two-hour) serum samples from 18 normal subjects and 30 patients with histologically proven hepatobiliary disease. The serum bile acid concentration was less than 15 mumol/1 in normal subjects and did not increase postprandially. The fasting serum bile acid concentration was raised in 27 of the patients with hep...
