A new turbidimetric method for the direct measurement of the solubility of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobins (Hb) in concentrated phosphate buffer has been established. The principle of the method is the formation of a homogeneous emulsion when hemoglobin is introduced in concentrated phosphate buffer. The solubility of the oxy and deoxy forms of Hb A, Hb S, Hb C, Hb F, and Hb CHarlem (beta 6Glu leads ...

Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) have been used routinely in the diagnosis of neonatal anemia and polycythemia. Objective: To measure the cord blood Hb and Hct and to determine their association with maternal Hb and Hct. Methods: 170 healthy neonates born through normal vaginal delivery with gestation age of 37-42 wks and birth weight of 2.5-4 kg, and their mothers were included...

one which could well have been applied to the pioneers of many reforms. This is, of course, the Abortion Law Reform Association. Mrs. Jenkins is well fitted to describe it, for she was a co-foundress, and she has been actively concerned for 34 years : and her account is vivid and stimulating. The method of approach is, however, more to recount a series of anecdotes?very telling ones?than to pre...

The shape isomers of the 28Si nucleus are derived from Nilsson model calculations combined with quasidynamical SU(3) symmetry considerations, and their possible binary clusterizations are determined. The results are compared with those of other calculations. Concerning the superdeformed state our finding gives support to the new candidate suggested by Jenkins et al. [Phys. Rev. C 86, 064308 (20...

BACKGROUND Hemoglobin variants (Hb(VAR)) are not uncommon in the Korean population, with Hb G-Coushatta and Hb Queens being the 2 most common Hb(VAR). Hb G-Coushatta is also the most common Hb(VAR) in Chinese people from the Silk Road region, as well as in some North American Indian tribes. However, data are scarce on the effect of these Hb(VAR) on the different methods used for analyzing HbA(1...

     Drug design is generally achieved through trial and error methods, which is a time and resource consuming process and novel methods are needed to improve it. Mathematical modelling is one of the possible solutions to speed up this process. In this study, we have presented Box-Jenkins model, to predict the vasorelaxant activity (pEC50) of a set of benzopyrane compounds. We used t...
