Observations made on animals subjected to parenteral administration of penicillin, at relatively high levels, disclosed a pseudopositive albumin reaction. While it is not known if similar reactions have been noted after clinical treatment, there is at least a possibility that in cases where unusually high penicillin dosages are administered similar phenomena may occur. Most tests for albumin in...

HIS STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN IN AN ATTEMPT to evaluate some of the more promising methods for the determination of cerebrospinal fluid protein with the objective of deciding on the most suitable one for use in this laboratory. There are a number of methods available, with great variations in the ease of performance and the accuracy of results; therefore it seems that some sort of compromise must be...

The presence in plasma of protein-like materials with properties of polypeptides or proteoses has been demonstrated repeatedly, but little has been done toward the characterization of these materials. The concentration of such materials in plasma rises markedly in patients with cancer or with certain other diseases, but here again little is known of the source or significance of the increased l...

Pyrazine and 5-sulfosalicylic acid crystallize from a methanol solution containing water as the title salt, C(4)H(6)N(2) (2+)·2C(7)H(5)O(6)S(-)·2H(2)O. The pyrazine-diium cation sits on an inversion center. The component ions and water mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers running parallel to the (10) plane.

Femtosecond and nanosecond laser flash photolysis was used to determine the photophysical and photochemical processes in aqueous solutions of Fe(III) ion and 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) containing the FeSSA complex and the free ligand. Excitation of the FeSSA complex in the charge transfer band (λmax = 505 nm) is followed by an ultrafast relaxation to the ground electronic state with two charac...

Endemic nephropathy is a chronic tubulointerstitial disease characterized by early damage to the proximal tubule, with low-molecular weight proteinuria being an important hallmark and possible tool for early diagnosis. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the risk of developing endemic nephropathy in subjects with proteinuria from the endemic region in Croatia. The cohort st...

Background: Proteinuria indicates a kidney disorder and provides important prognostic information in diagnosing disease. To determine the presence of protein urine, urinalysis examination is carried out. generally uses heating method with acetic acid, sulfosalicylic concentrated nitric acid as reagents. In Indonesia, use for proteinuria still primary choice. An alternative reagent needed that c...
