Background and Aims: This cross-sectional study examined the nutritional status, serum proteins, and some trace elements in human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) drug-naive patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy. Material and Methods: Twenty-five drug-naive subjects, 25 subjects on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and 20 control subjects aged 21 to 65 years were convenie...

The electrophoretic patterns of a series of normal and pathological human sera and plasmas have been obtained using the schlieren scanning method. From these patterns the mobilities and concentrations of the electrophoretically distinct protein components have been computed. The mobilities fall into five well defined groups corresponding to albumin, alpha, beta, and gamma globulins, and fibrino...

Although the determination of the albumin and globulin contents of human serum by neutral salt fractionation, as in Howe’s method (I), has proved useful because of its simplicity, such methods have definite limitations. Butler (2) has shown that the albumin-globulin separation by neutral salt precipitation is not’ sharp and that these fractions overlap one another grossly. Leutscher (3) has als...

BACKGROUND Prior studies showed a relationship between serum albumin and the albumin to globulin ratio with different types of cancer. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) for survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 240 lung adenocarcinoma patients. Biochemical parameters before chemotherap...

A comparative study of serum biochemical and hematological parameters from Andinoacara rivulatus Ichthyoelephas humeralis in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador, was carried out. Two the native species that are most commercialized Quevedo, Mocache Fumisa, were identified; 60 specimens captured each area (180 total). factorial design (3×2) used: three habitat zones (Fumisa, Mocache) two (A. I. humeralis)...

Abstract This paper presents a software-engineered approach using classification algorithm for the of liver disease. The ILPD dataset is used proposed work. Different attributes patient records such as direct bilirubin, age, sex, total alphos, albumin, sgpt, globulin ratio, sgot are to classify Convolution Neural Network technique shows an accuracy 67% and precision 71%. Various algorithms CNN,...

Moore and Van Slyke (1) find the specific gravity of plasma to be a more useful measure of total plasma protein in nephritis than the refractive index, the physical property previously most widely employed in this connection. The effects of varying salt, glucose, and non-protein nitrogen contents presumably prevent accurate protein determinations by the specific gravity method, but are not suff...
