Levels of immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and lysozyme were determined in milk samples obtained from well-nourished under-nourished Indian women at different stages lactation. The concentration immunoglobulins was higher colostrum than mature while the levels showed a progressive increase with period There no significant differences between two groups women. Administration iron did not alter either total or percentage saturation milk. These results indicate that antibacterial factors are...
This study addressed the antifouling efficiency of commercially available chlorine at different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) exposure times (0.5 min, 1 5 15 min). The rapid non-destructive FIRe (fluorescence induction relaxation) technique was used to evaluate effects biocide on diatom dominated biofilms. in removing diatoms from developed biofilms increased with an increase concentration time. fluorescence measurements revealed low F v /F m high σPSII values for chlorine-treated...
Selenium is an essential trace mineral required for normal human health and reproduction. In recent years selenium deficiency in humans has been implicated as a risk factor recurrent pregnancy loss. So far the status loss (RPL) evaluated only plasma serum samples showing discrepancies of cause RPL. The present pilot study from India red cells (as they are better indicators levels) 20 women with three or more unexplained losses compared to similar number controls. mean+/-SD cell levels group...
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is postulated to play a role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the value of objective GER measures predicting IPF disease progression unclear. We aim evaluate association between on multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH (MII-pH) testing development poor outcomes within 1 year prelung transplant patients.This was retrospective cohort study adults with who underwent pre-lung evaluation MII-pH off proton pump inhibitors (PPI) at tertiary care...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is one of the primary treatment modalities for stenosis (AS). Disparities affecting certain groups could result in lower utilization this life-saving procedure. This study aims to investigate effects associated psychiatric conditions on likelihood TAVR hospitalized AS patients.
Levels of tocopherol, cholesterol and triglycerides were estimated in paired maternal umbilical cord plasma samples. All three constituents significantly lower than plasma. Since tocopherol lipid share a common lipoprotein carrier system, the present data suggests that reduction observed circulation could be due to inability fetus synthesise these proteins. There was no relation between vitamin E concentrations infant birth weights.
