This experiment was carried out to study the effects of different levels of vitamin C (0, 150, 300 and 450 ppm) and cage density (3, 4 and 5 birds) on performance and egg shell quality of laying hens under high environmental temperature. In a completely randomized design with 3 × 4 factorial arrangement, one hundred and ninety two (192) 25 week white leghorn hens were divided into 48 replicates...

Background and Objective: Sepsis is a syndrome involving physiological, pathological, and biochemical abnormalities caused by infection. Very few studies have been performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio. The present study aimed to evaluate the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Meth...

Introduction: The urinary excretion of minimal quantities of albumin (microalbuminuria) is predictive of renal failure and cardiovascular mortality. The detection and prompt treatment of microalbuminuria is crucial to the prevention and progress of renal failure in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative frequency of microalbuminuria in different age groups o...

To determine the therapeutic dose of Mg according to BMI, serum level of calcium, creatinin and albumin a cross sectional study were carried on 150 cases of preeclampsia (100 mild, 50 sever type) in Valei-Asr Hospital through the years 1378-79. All of eligible patients had given a single dose of 4 gr Mg, sulfate intravenously, then had continued with 20 gr/lit, 28 drop/min through IV infusion. ...

Background and purpose: Echocardiography and routine E.C.G are standard methods for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) recommended by recent investigations is more available and less expensive than echocardiography for detection of LVH. Materials and Methods: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 124 hypertensive patients (62 case...
