The conversionof carboxyhemoglobin(H bCO) to cyanmethemoglobin (M HbCN) by Drabkin’s reagent has been shown to be considerablyslower than is the same reaction with oxyhemoglobin(Hb02). Conversionof Hb02 to MHbCN is complete in 10 mm. whereas total conversionof HbCO requires 90-120 mm. This difference in reaction rate must be consideredin the determination of total hemoglobinas MHbCN when the bl...

BACKGROUND Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a global medical problem. This disease is associated with increased hepatic oxidative stress. One of the antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against this stress is heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the mRNA expression of HO-1 in Egyptian patients with CLD and its relation to oxidative stress biomarkers. PATIENTS ...

Abstract
 Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most common causes death due to in world. Cardiovascular complications CO includes myocardial infarction, left ventricular dysfunction, cardiogenic shock, and various arrhythmias. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels do not always correlate with severity symptoms. In this article, We present a patient who developed rare ST elevated acute in...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced as by-product of the complete combustion hydrocarbons. CO binds rapidly to Haemoglobin (Hb), leading formation carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), so oxygen-carrying capacity blood will be decreased and causing tissue hypoxia. We present case accidental carbon poisoning in family where four members were reported dead three unconscious morning aft...

This study was designed to assess the health impacts related noninvasive carbon monoxide saturation (SPCO %) in blood of respondents. For this purpose, 150 respondents from labour community Hattar Industrial Estate (testing site) and 100 Sultan Pur (control were selected. To achieve objective, a Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter used for carboxyhemoglobin measurement. Carbon (SPCO%) Estate, Haripur, Pak...

PURPOSE We used a pulse carbon monoxide (CO)-oximeter to measure the levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in smokers and non-smokers. Our goal was to determine if this device could not only define smoking status, but also to increase accuracy of self-reported data at various surveys on smoking. METHODS Thirty-four healthy volunteers participated in this study. Twenty-two of them were current da...
