BACKGROUND Low serum albumin concentration is a predictor of failure of source control for intra-abdominal infection. However, data on dynamics of albumin synthesis in these patients and to what extent these changes contribute to hypoalbuminemia are relatively scarce. We investigated in a group of

OBJECTIVE Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a life-threatening condition, despite advances in diagnostic technology and strategies for treatment. A strong predictor of mortality in this condition is septic shock. This study describes clinical, biochemical, and radiologic features in patients with PLA

Carbon-14-labeled plasma proteins given by mouth to dogs with sterile abscesses undergo decreased absorption, presumably owing to impaired digestion of protein. The turnover of plasma albumin is greatly accelerated but the globulins, excluding fibrinogen, show little change during the acute stage of

In the previous paper, we reported that 67Ga was accumulated in abscess and uptake rate of 67Ga in abscess increased with time after the injection of 67Ga-citrate. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the influence of blood flow on the accumulation of 67Ga in abscess. Five days after

Serum or plasma concentrations of components of the classical (C1q, C4) and alternative (C3, factor B) pathways, regulatory protein factor H, and one of the C3 products of degradation, C3d, were determined in 19 patients with amebic liver abscess (ALA). Patients were divided into two groups.

One hundred-six patients underwent emergency debridement of a deep foot space abscess. While 43 patients were admitted after an outpatient visit with immediate surgical debridement (group A), 63 patients were transferred from other hospitals after a mean stay of 6.2+/-7.5 days without debridement

Amebic hepatic abscess is a tropical disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. A retrospective case review was performed on 39 hospitalized patients in Thailand with the diagnosis of amebic liver abscess. A total of 23 men (59%) and 16 women (41%), with a mean age of 44.56 +/- 21.81

Routinely processed biopsy material, including 56 gliomas of varying malignancy, 10 meningiomas, 10 brain metastases and 12 brain abscesses, was examined for the presence and distribution of IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and albumin using the unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. In all

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlations between clinical and biochemical parameters with radiological severity of CT diagnosed acute pyelonephritis (APN) and renal abscesses, thereafter defining clinical predictors to identify patients with severe APN or renal

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of using immunoglobilins for intravenous administration (IVIG) to treat the patients presenting with paratonsillar abscesses (PTA). The comparative assessment of the clinical and immunological status of 77 patients with PTA depending

The protein profile of serum samples from patients with amoebic liver abscess (ALA) was compared to those of normal individuals to determine their expression levels and to identify potential surrogate disease markers. Serum samples were resolved by two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by
