background: psoriasis is a chronic and inflammatory dermatologic disease. inflammatory biomarkers such as c-reactive protein (crp) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) are known as immediate and delayed inflammatory biomarkers, respectively. due to the fact that anti-inflammatory drugs such as infliximab are widely used in psoriasis treatment, the aim of this study was to evaluate esr, crp ...

Dear Editor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a useful basic clinical pathology laboratory investigation. It can be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of several diseases. At present, a new automated method with proven reliability is available for ESR test  (1). Here, the authors report on observation on a laboratory experiment to test the effect of zinc nanoparticles on ESR results. The...

Two hundred subjects aged 60-89 were selected for a study aimed at defining a reference range for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the elderly. The study extended a previous survey in subjects aged 20-65. The results confirmed that the sedimentation rate increases with age and that women have higher values than men but suggested that over half of elderly patients with disease would have ra...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is used to differentiate temporal arteritis from other forms of headache in the elderly. Though temporal arteritis can occur with a normal ESR, this is not generally appreciated in primary care. The case reported here is a 74-year-old woman with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis; her ESR was 22 mm/hr. Of note, her hematocrit was more than 40 percent, a co...

Background & Aim:The main aim of this study was stabilizing D. Sophia beverage and reduce its sedimentation rate. Experimental: Xanthan and Carboxy methyl cellulose gums have been used in three levels (0.05, .01 and .02 gr/lit) and mixture of Guar-xanthan and carboxymethyl cellulose (each .1 g/l) and extracted dried gum from D. Sophia in (1, 2 an...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was studied in 520 men and 202 women with syphilis. It was raised in 66-6 per cent. of sero-negative primary cases, 80 per cent. of sero-positive cases, 100 per cent. of secondary cases, 80 per cent. of early latent cases, and 73-9 per cent. of late latent cases. It was also raised in sixteen out of seventeen cases of neurosyphilis and in all eleven cases of c...
