With the technical assistance of F. Schiffer, Dipl. Ing. A VARIABLE degree of blood destruction over and above that occurring physiologically is a constant phenomenon in attacks of malaria. Although blood destruction is always increased in a malarial attack, clinical signs of hemolysis ( jaundice, anemia, etc.) are not always present. The clinical syndrome of hemolytic anemia in malaria is know...

A new type of chlorophyll catabolite was isolated from extracts of de-greened primary leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Lambic). Its constitution was elucidated by one-dimensional and two-dimensional [(1)H,(13)C]-homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopic techniques and by high resolution mass spectroscopy. The isolated catabolite, a water-soluble, colorless, and nonfluorescent linear tetrap...

A little-known procedure for porphobilinogen screening, the Hoesch test, was examined for sensitivity, specificity, and utility as compared to the Watson-Schwartz test. The data demonstrate that its sensitivity is similar to that of the Watson-Schwartz test. The Hoesch test, however, is without false-positive reactions secondary to urobilinogen, and its simplicity makes it easier to use and mor...

Urine analysis was conducted on male Muslims before, during and after Ramadan. Various changes in urine volume, osmolality, total solute, sodium, potassium, titratable acidity and urea in response to altered feeding and activity regimens were found. There were no detectable levels of ketones, protein, glucose, urobilinogen and haemoglobin. It was concluded that the body adapted to fasting durin...

Under normal circumstances, two members of the urobilinogen group have been identified in human feces and urine, both of which are determined quantitatively in the routine urobilinogen procedure (1). Of these, stercobilinogen predominates, while mesobilirubinogen occurs only in small amounts except during excessive hemolysis, when it has been present in sufficient quantity to permit crystalliza...

anemia, erythremic myelosis, erythroleukemia, and certain other conditions, as mentioned in the following. The normal fecal urobilinogen usually ranges from 100-250 mg/day. Of this amount 85-90 per cent is derived from destruction of mature circulating erythrocytes having a lifespan of 120 days, the remaining 10-15 per cent from other sources. This is easily demonstrated by administration of N’...
