Urinary phenylacetylglutamine (U-PAGN) concentrations in spot urine samples were analyzed as a dosing biomarker during glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB) dosing in 68 healthy adults and 66 adult and pediatric patients with urea cycle disorders who participated in GPB clinical trials. Age- and body surface area (BSA)-specific 25th percentile cutoff points for spot U-PAGN concentrations (<~9000 μg/mL ...

Remarkable improvements in public health, nutrition, hygiene, and availability of medical services in the last 20 years have significantly reduced infant and childhood mortality in Thailand. Therefore, many rare and previously unidentified genetic disorders, which, in the past, usually led to the death of affected infants before a definitive diagnosis, have now been increasingly recognized. Rec...

" stibacetin," which was the first aromatic compound of antimony to be used in the treatment of leishmaniasis, many aromatic compounds of antimony have been introduced. Von Heyden also introduced sodium meta-chloro-para-acetylamino stibinate, known as No. 471 or " stibosan," and an amine salt of p-amino-phenyl-stibinic acid known as No. 693 iboth of which proved to be very effective in the trea...

In the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(4)O(5)S·C(9)H(9)N(3)O(5), the amide groups of 3-(3,5-dinitro-benzo-yl)-1,1-dimethyl-thio-urea and N,N-dimethyl-3,5-dinitro-benzamide mol-ecules are oriented at dihedral angles of 39.13 (8) and 55.97 (11)°, respectively, to the attached benzene rings. In the crystal, the two mol-ecules are linked by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Weak C-H⋯O link the mol-ecules into a ...

OBJECTIVE Reinfection rate of Helicobacter pylori after successful eradication is low in developed countries. This study was performed to determine the reinfection rate of H. pylori during a follow up period of 12 months in Iranian children. METHODS In this prospective study, children with H. pylori infection were treated with triple omeprazole based regimen. Patients with negative (13)C urea...

The high demand of Breath Tests (BT) in many gastroenterological conditions in time of limited resources for health care systems, generates increased interest in cost analysis from the point of view of the delivery of services to better understand how use the money to generate value. This study aims to measure the cost of C13 Urea and other most utilized breath tests in order to describe key as...

Dead spot is a relatively new disease of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) incited by Ophiosphaerella agrostis Dernoeden, M.P.S. Câmara N.R. O’Neill van Berkum et M.E. Palm. Limited information is available with regards to chemical and cultural management strategies for dead spot. Two field studies were designed to evaluate the influence of various fertilizers and iprodione on the re...

ment there was no appreciable change in his condition. At this stage my attention was drawn to the case of ' dermatitis exfoliata ' cured by injections of urea-stibamine, reported by Dr. Norrie in the Indian Medical Gazette for March, 1927, p. 142; and to an article on dermal leishmanoid by Dr. B. M. Das Gupta in the April 1927 number of the same journal, p. 199. I accordingly changed the treat...

AIM To study the effect of known interference in the measurement of urea and ammonium concentrations in samples of gastric juice. METHODS The effect of pH and ammonium concentration on the o-pthalaldehyde method, the diacetylmonoxime method, a Berthelot linked method and an enzymatic urease method for the measurement of urea in gastric juice was therefore conducted. An enzymatic method of the...
