Magnesium is an essential metal that has important roles in physiological function of the body organs. Ethambutol is an oral antitubercular agent with chelating effects owing to its chemical structure. The aim of present study is to determine whether ethambutol usage can alter serum magnesium concentration in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Sixty patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuber...

OBJECTIVE It is standard practice to clean the skin using a non-alcohol-containing swab before forensic blood alcohol sampling, because of the belief that the use of an alcohol-containing swab will contaminate the sample. The present study aimed to determine whether cleaning the skin with 70% isopropyl alcohol swabs, before venepuncture, alters measured blood alcohol level (BAL). METHODS Volu...

The precision with which glycaemic responses, expressed as incremental area under the curve (AUC), can be measured may be improved by using the average of several measures of fasting blood glucose (FBG). To see if taking two fasting blood samples would increase the precision of AUC, the glycaemic responses elicited by four test meals (50 g glucose; 50 g glucose plus 10 g fat and 10 g protein; 1...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition marked by hyperglycemia. In order to ascertain the linkage in individuals with and non-diabetes of various ages, hyperglycemia DM closely related Hba1c hematological tests. Samples data from ministry science technology's lab were gathered utilizing questionnaires biochemical data. The difference means fasting blood sugar (FSB), white cells (W...
