Results A 12-year-old girl from a rural area was admitted to our pediatric emergency with decreased consciousness. We reviewed there was a history of polyuria, polydipsia and marked weight loss. When she arrived at hospital, she was very ill, comatose state, severe dehydration and typical Kussmaul breathing. Her heart rate was 140/min with thread pulse, low blood pressure, dry mucous membranes,...

INTRODUCTION Intertrochanteric fractures incidence has been increasing over the past few years and therefore so have all the problems associated with it. It is important to search for possible ways to reduce comorbidities as well as postoperative mortality. We decided to assess the impact of some routine pre-operative analytical values on post-operative mortality of patients with inter-trochant...

The effect of genotype and sex of Nigerian indigenous chickens (dwarf, Fulani ecotypes, neck, frizzle and normal feathered) on blood serum electrolytes and biochemical parameters were investigated using 40 chickens. The collected data were subjected to analysis via a 2 way ANOVA. The results revealed serum levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, uric acid, glucose, total protein, creatinin, albu...

The osmotic activity of liver tissue and of kidney cortex tested within 10 minutes after immersion in solutions of sodium chloride has been increased by procedures which introduce sodium chloride, urea or creatinin into the body in excess of its elimination. A substance formed by cell metabolism, namely urea, can increase the osmotic activity of liver and of kidney cells. The amino acids, glyci...

Preterm infants are at significant risk to develop reduced bone mineralization based on inadequate supply of calcium and phosphorus (Ca-P). Biochemical parameters can be used to evaluate the nutritional intake. The direct effect of nutritional intake on changes in biochemical parameters has not been studied. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of Ca-P supplementation on biochemical markers...

The study was made to evaluate bone turnover in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients undergoing long-term glucocorticoid therapy. Thirty-eight female patients with established SLE were compared with a control group consisting from 160 age-matched healthy women. Serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines: interleukin-1alpha, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, granulocyte-m...
