Introduction: Ammonia is a resultant molecule from the protein metabolism that can be neurotoxic when present in high concentrations, causing brain edema and encephalopathy. Extracorporeal blood purification technique (EBPT) play role reducing both ammonia urea levels. However, there are no specific guidelines for its use hyperammonemia, due to low incidence scarce literature on this subject, p...

Evidence is presented that the increase in specific activity of N-acetylglutamate synthase observed upon heat induction of Escherichia coli (lambdadargA) is primarily due to a gene dosage effect.

Encephalopathy is a common clinical syndrome in cancer patients. The underlying causes of cancer related encephalopathies are various and mostly non-specific, such as metabolic disturbances as seen in critically ill patients. Electrolyte disturbances, hypoxia, hyperammonemia, thiamine deficiency and toxic reactions are all possible causes of encephalopathy in cancer patients. Structural lesions...
