Sodium salt of N-acetyl-DL-tryptophan (AT) and octanoic acid (caprylic acid CA) individually and in combination were studied as thermal stabilizer with different concentrations in heat treatment of human albumin solution. HPLC protein profiles before pasteurization of albumin showed less than 1% polymer. In free stabilizer albumin solution during pasteurization visible clot was formed. But by u...

Abstract Objectives To investigate the relationship between ratios of C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin, neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR), mean platelet volume (MPV)/platelet and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)/albumin in pediatric patients diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia based on severity disease. Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study included 5...

background:extrauterine growth restriction remains a common and serious problem in newborns especially who are small, immature, and critically ill. very low birth weight infants (vlbw) had 97% and 40% growth failure at 36 weeks and 18-22 months post-conceptual age respectively. the postnatal development of premature infants is critically dependent on an adequate nutritional intake that mimics a...

conclusions administration of albumin compared to hes in patients with a normal renal function results in a lower drop of gfr and platelet count, less bleeding and lower rise of serum creatinine. background the ideal strategy to prime the cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) circuit in adult cardiac surgery is still a matter of debate. objectives in this retrospective study, we examined albumin solutio...

background: we aimed to compare the effect of albumin 5% in half normal saline (half ns) versus normal saline (ns) infusion on the plasma viscosity in the near-normal physiological condition. according to the high oncotic pressure of albumin along with prolonged half-life of its molecules in comparison to ns in the intra-vascular compartment, it has been proposed that a more significant reducti...
