BACKGROUND Alterations in serum biomarkers have been used to evaluate for pancreatitis in the emergency department (ED). Studies have shown lipase to be as sensitive and more specific than amylase in diagnosing pancreatitis and that amylase plus lipase does not improve accuracy over lipase alone. OBJECTIVE To determine effects of interventions to decrease ordering of amylase in the evaluation...

background: a-amylases (ec 3.2.1.1) are covering approximately 25% of total enzyme market and are frequently used in food, pharmaceutical and detergent industries.objectives: the first ever detailed characterization of amylase from any halophilic engyodontium album is presented. materials and methods: an extracellular α-amylase was studied from halophilic e. album tistr 3645. the enzyme was ext...

Fungi are well known for their ability to excrete enzymes into the environment. The fungal isolate FSS60 was the best amylase producer among one hundred and thirty-six isolates obtained from Syrian soils and tested for amylase production. According to the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA gene, the isolate was identified as Aspergillus flavus. Optimal initial pH for amylase...

Amylase is an industrially important enzyme and applied in many industrial processes such as saccharification of starchy materials, food, pharmaceutical, detergent, and textile industries. This research work deals with the optimization of fermentation conditions for α-amylase production from thermophilic bacterial strain Bacillus sp. BCC 01-50 and characterization of crude amylase. The time pro...

This research at supplying electricity to Ziway lake islanders in Ethiopia, through studying the wind, pumped hydro-storage (PHS), and solar energy potentials. A wind mast is erected, measurements 10,50, 70m heights are taken for a year long. The of class-4 with speeds 7m/s 50m, 7.87m/s. density 318.8 kWh/m2 (50m). GIS-based 3D digital elevation model (DEM) used investigate PHS, as lower-reserv...

AIM Evaluation of the effect of acetaminophen (APAP) overdose on biochemical parameters in buffalo calves. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiment was conducted on six healthy male buffalo calves of 6-12 months age. The APAP was administered intramuscularly at the dose rate of 250 mg/kg body weight (B.W.) on day 0, followed by two subsequent doses at the dose rate of 50 mg/kg B.W. on day 2 and 4...

The oxygen barrier properties of composite materials, consisting of a 45 μm thick LDPE substrate coated by a thin layer (0.7-1 μm) of nanostructured hybrid organic/inorganic materials based on SiO2 and polyethylene-polyethylene glycol (PE-PEG) block copolymers, obtained via a sol-gel technique have been characterized at 35°C and 50°C. A significant decrease (25-40%) of the oxygen transfer rate ...
