The general performance of the Technicon AutoAnalyzer II method for the routine estimation of serum aspartate and alanine transaminase has been assessed and compared with that of the LKB reaction rate analyser. The results of the two methods correlate, there is little difference in precision, and running costs are comparable. Some of the relative advantages of the two types of analysis are disc...

This communication concerns two patients in whom spuriously enhanced SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate amino-transferase, EC 2.6.1.1), as determined by the SMA 12/60 AutoAnalyzer (Technicon Corp., Tarrytown, N.Y. 10591), led to erroneous diagnoses of liver disease. This error can be avoided by checking suspect supranormal SMA 12/60 values by ultraviolet ...

pregnancy, labour, and delivery. He was initially fed orally on a standard infant formula, but feeding became increasingly difficult and he failed to thrive. At 6 weeks of age, he was admitted to hospital, where he continued to gain weight poorly despite numerous feed changes. Nasogastric feeding was therefore started at 10 weeks of age. Investigations showed intermittent neutropenia (the lowes...

The populations residing near polluted sites are more prone to various types of diseases. The important causes of air pollution are the suspended particulate matter, respirable suspended particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. As limited information is available enumerating the effect of these pollutants on liver physiology of the population living near the polluted sites; in t...

Hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrine disease in domestic cats. This study examined whether dietary iodine restriction can reduce thyroid hormone concentrations in hyperthyroid cats. We performed a 12-week randomized, blinded, prospective study in which hyperthyroid pet cats housed with their owners were fed a control food (n=15) or a prototype restricted iodine food (n=18). Elemental an...
