Anaplasma platys, previously known as Ehrlichia platys,which causes infectious canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, has notbeen extensively studied in Southeast Asia. Recent reports in theregion have been limited to ticks and dogs in Thailand, and toticks in the Philippines. In this report, DNAfragments of A. platyswere molecularly detected in a dog in the Philippines. Apitbullpuppy exhibited pancyt...

Ninety six 21 day- old unsexed broiler chickens were used for the study designed to evaluate effect of different levels pawpaw leaf meal on serum biochemistry chickens. The experiment consisted four treatment groups, each in three replicates eight birds per replicate. treatments reflect inclusion meal: T1 (control 0 g/kg PLM feed), T2 (3 T3 (5 feed) and T4 (7 feed). was framed a completely rand...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite on performance traits, liver enzymes and blood lipid concentrations to use 375 cobb 500 broiler chickens in completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates and 15 birds to each replicate. the use of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite improved feed conversion rat...

We measured hepatitis C virus antibody titers in 13 patients with chronic hepatitis C to determine whether titration of hepatitis C virus antibody was useful or not, to predict and evaluate the efficacy of interferon (IFN) treatment. During administration of IFN, hepatitis C virus titers declined in all patients. Antibody titers performed before treatment as well as just at the end of treatment...

Groundwater arsenic (As) has affected millions of people globally distributed over 20 countries. In parts of West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh alone, over 100 million people are at risk, but supply of As-free water is grossly inadequate. Attempts to remove As by using orthodox medicines have mostly been unsuccessful. A potentized homeopathic remedy, Arsenicum Album-30, was administered to a gr...

Insight of evidence that some complications of diabetes mellitus due to hyperglycemia, we investigated the effect of T. arjuna bark extract on serum, liver and kidney marker enzymes in alloxan - induced diabetic rats. T. arjuna was administered orally at a doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight for 30 days, after which serum liver and kidney tissues were assayed for the degree of pathological c...

Prolonged exposure to petrol has been shown to be a significant health hazard, especially for skeletal, circulatory, immune and reproductive systems. The present study investigates liver functions (alanine amino transferase and aspartate amino transferase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin, total protein and albumin) and immune functions (IgG, IgA and IgM) in 29 male petrol attendants...

Ethanolic extract (50 %) of stems of Calotropis gigantea R. Br. (Asclepiadaceae) at doses of 250 and 500 mg kg-1 were studied for hepatoprotective activity in male Wistar rats with liver damage induced using carbon tetrachloride, 2 mL kg-1 twice a week. The protective effect of C. gigantea extract was compared with the standard drug silymarin. Various biochemical parameters such as aspartate am...

The current study was designed to investigate the changes of liver enzymes during normal pregnancy. To achieve the intended aim, 185 pregnant women of aged 20 – 37 years(60 women in first trimester, 65 women in second trimester and 60 women in third trimester of pregnancy), also the study contain70 women(control individuals) in age near to age of pregnant women. The levels of Alanine amino tran...
