hypoproteinemia/phosphatase

Three premature infants with zinc deficiency who had an unusual presentation with generalized edema and hypoproteinemia between 5 and 9 weeks of age are described. The infants were fed their own mother's milk, supplemented with a proprietary formula after the first 2 to 3 weeks of life. None of the

Substantial fluid shifts occur during liposuction as wetting solution is infiltrated subcutaneously and fat is evacuated, causing potential electrolyte imbalances. In the porcine model for large-volume liposuction, plasma aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase levels were elevated

Malignant rheumatoid arthritis (MRA) is a name for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated with systemic vasculitis or other severe extra-articular manifestations, which can cause a fatal outcome. MRA is found in 4-5% of inpatients with RA. The male to female ratio is 1:1.45. Histologically, 3 main

Medical records of 11 cats with lymphoma involving large granular lymphocytes were reviewed. All 9 cats tested were FeLV-negative. Ten cats had a history of anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, or diarrhea, and had lymphoma involving abdominal viscera. The most common site of tumor in these cats was the

In a medical out-patient clinic, over a period of several years, atrial myxoma was diagnosed in four patients with ages ranging between 32 and 69 years. With the exception of one patient referred for assessment of ventricular premature beats, presentation was not primarily attributable to cardiac

Case presentation of a 61 year old male who presented with a 3 months' history of anorexia, weight loss, prolonged febrile syndrome, myalgias, peripheral polyneuropathy, abdominal pain, anemia, renal insufficiency, sonographically detected splenomegaly, elevated alkaline phosphatase,

This study has evaluated the effects of a supplementation with taurine (TAU) on the actions of fish oil (FO) against the hypoglycemia, hypoproteinemia, and hepatic accumulation of lipids and liver damage caused by D-galactosamine (GAL) in the rat. To this end, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-225 g),

Infection of naive North American horses with 10(4) cell culture infectious doses (CCID50) of virulence variants of African horsesickness virus (AHSV), designated AHSV/4SP, AHSV/9PI, and AHSV/4PI, reproduced three classical forms of African horsesickness: acute (pulmonary), subacute (cardiac), and

Erythema multiforme major and disseminated intravascular coagulation developed in a dog 24 hours after exposure to a d-limonene-based insecticidal dip. Clinical signs included severe lethargy and weakness, ulceration of the oral mucosa, and erythematous serpiginous, annular, and arciform lesions on

A 6-mo-old female Chihuahua was presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia and collapse. Physical examination revealed proportionate dwarfism, retained puppy hair coat, retained deciduous teeth, and open fontanelles. Routine blood tests revealed hypoglycemia, thrombocytosis, hypoproteinemia,

The human nephrotic syndrome (NS) is accompanied by important alterations of mineral and bone metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to examine bone metabolism in rats with experimental NS and normal creatinine clearance, and to evaluate the reversibility of this alteration. NS was induced

The transfer of male dogs from lowlands to an altitude of 3370 m was accompanied by hypoproteinemia and reduction of albumins and beta-globulins, stable increase of activity of alanine aminotransferase, decrease of activity of alkaline phosphatase and content of phosphate. This can be interpreted as

UNASSIGNED Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) adversely affect bone health and there are reports describing association of alternations of bone and mineral metabolism in epileptic patients. UNASSIGNED This study was undertaken to evaluate the bone profile (bone mineral parameters and bone mineral density

Diversion of portal blood in congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) results in liver atrophy and passage of toxins into the systemic circulation causing hepatic encephalopathy. In some dogs, there is indirect evidence for hepatic insufficiency, but histologic findings are equivocal. This study
