Comparison of Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) and Non-Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (NAPTT) for the Assessment of Enhanced Procoagulant Activity in Immunoglobulin Solutions
Abstract: The recent revision of the European Pharmacopoeia stipulates that all intravenous immunoglobulin solutions must be investigated with respect to procoagulant activity. Accordingly, the manufacturing processes must be validated regarding the removal of such compounds, to ensure a minimized thromboembolic risk for patient..

The Germ-soma Conflict Theory of Aging and Death: Obituary to the "Evolutionary Theories of Aging"
Abstract: Regarding aging, the scientific community persists in a state of collective schizophrenia. This state is owed to the so-called “evolutionary theories of aging”. According to these theories, aging, following the peri-/postreproductive decline of selection pressure, is posited to be haphazard, not selected fo..

The Potential Usefulness of Pre and Post Operative Risk Group Stratification in Predicting PSA Failure after Radical Prostatectomy for Localised Prostate Cancer
Abstract: Background: There is no clear cut way of predicting exactly prior to radical prostatectomy which patients would subsequently develop Biochemical failure post operatively.Aims: To investigate the usefulness of Risk Group stratification based upon: pre-operative PSA, clinical staging and Gleason score assessment of prost..

Pseudo Acute Renal Failure due to delayed presentation of intra-peritoneal bladder injury following blunt abdominal trauma
Abstract : Full urinary bladder is prone to intra-peritoneal rupture following blunt abdominal trauma. It is usually diagnosed early due to frank hematuria. Review of literature has revealed few cases of delayed presentation of bladder injury presenting as acute pseudo renal failure. Each of the cases has a pointer towards inhere..

Testicular Protection From Thyroid Hormone Mediated Oxidative Stress
Abstract : Testis is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids with poor antioxidant defense system and due to presence of a potential reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating systems, it is much more vulnerable to o..

Role of Glia In Reproduction and Consequent Human Therapeutic Potentials-A Systematic Review
Abstract : Background: Recent evidence suggests that astrocytes have important neuroregulatory functions besides classic functions of support and segregation of neurons which includes regulation of neuron communication,neurosecretion and synaptic plasticity.The aim of this review was to focus on astrocyte-neuron interactions in t..

Ethics in Prehospital Emergency Medicine: An Ethical Dilemma in Patient Communication
Abstract: Abstract: This case report discusses an ethical dilemma about consent and patient autonomy from prehospital emergency services. It is argued that the dilemma involves deep ethical problems, and that these problems have not received sufficient attention in the literature on the ethical dimension of emergency medicine an..

Increased germ cell apoptosis during testicular development and maturation by experimentally induced transient and persistent hypothyroidism
Abstract: Oxidative stress is known to be one of the major factors to induce germ cell apoptosis. In our earlier research, it was reported that neonatal persistent and transient hypothyroidism cause prevalence of oxidative stress marked by elevated lipid peroxide levels, protein carbonyl contents with decreased antioxidant enzym..

Potassium Bicarbonate to Ameliorate Gout
Abstract : It has been found that potassium bicarbonate supplements make the urine sufficiently alkaline that uric acid can be efficiently kept soluble and thus successfully excreted. This will prevent the destructive effects associated with gout. Some of the circumstances causing gout are discussed as well as some other ameliora..

Spontaneous Neoplasia: A Destiny of Viviparous Mammal
Abstract : True cancers are more frequent among vertebrates, including viviparous mammals. The most evidenced risk factor for these pathologies among vertebrates seems to be retroviral infections. A part of their genome is incorporated mainly in mammalians as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). This parasitic genome is vital for vivi..

Cervical Immunobiology in Women at Risk of Preterm Labour
Background: Preterm birth, defined as birth occurring after the gestational age of viability (23 weeks, 500 grams weight) and before 37 completed weeks (259 days) of pregnancy, is one of the most important problems in medicine today. Preterm birth is the single largest cause of mortality and morbidity for newborns. It accounts for..
