Clinical Risk Assessment and Comparison of Bias between Laboratory Methods for Estimation of HbA1c for Glycated Hemoglobin in Hyperglycemic Patients.

Introduction: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), also known as glycated hemoglobin, is a blood test used to evaluate and track a patient's blood sugar levels over the previous 2-3 months. We have compared the analytical performance of the D10 hemoglobin (HPLC) testing system to that of the immunoturbidimetric technique, which is a light-scattering immunoassay.

Objectives: To assess the clinical risk assessment between two methods (Compare the two Immunoturbidometric methods (AU680) vs.

Multi-level Analysis of HbA1c in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Diabetic Patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a multifaceted metabolic disorder, may cause health tribulations and changes in biochemical blood markers. Other research has examined the relationships between several biomarkers and the risk of T2D. Few studies have examined the relationships between these biomarkers and potential changes to the network of biomarkers associated with diabetes.

Adenosine deaminase activity in normal pregnancy and pregnancy associated disorders.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme of purine salvage pathway and has two important isoenzymes ADA1 and ADA2. The activity of ADA has been changed in diseases characterized by altered cell-mediated immunity. It was observed that total serum ADA activity was decreased during normal pregnancy compared with non-pregnant women.

Relation of oxidative stress, zinc and alkaline phosphatase in protein energy malnutrition.

Objective: To determine serum zinc (Zn), total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin in protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and to analyse the appropriateness of using low weight-for-age for detecting childhood under-nutrition.

Methods: This study comprised 455 children (355 malnourished and 100 normal). They were classified according to the Nutrition Subcommittee of Indian Academy of Pediatrics, Z-Score Classification and Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure.

Sputum adenosine deaminase and alkaline phosphatase activity in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective: The aim was to determine adenosine deaminase (ADA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in sputum for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methods: This study comprised of 64 subjects (33 pulmonary tuberculosis and 31 lung cancer). The ADA and ALP activity was measured in sputum and serum.

Elevated adenosine deaminase activity in overweight and obese Indian subjects.

Objective: To determine adenosine deaminase activity in overweight and obese Indian subjects.

Methods: This study comprised of 100 subjects. The body mass index (BMI) of subjects was calculated and adenosine deaminase activity was determined in their fasting blood sample.

Alkaline phosphatase: Distinguishing between tuberculous and nontuberculous pleural effusion.

Objectives: To evaluate the value of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase and pleural fluid/serum alkaline phosphatase ratio for the purpose of differentiating tuberculous from nontuberculous pleural effusion.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 indoor patients, admitted to our hospital, having pleural effusion and suffering from varying etiologies, were included in this study. According to the final diagnosis, these 60 patients were divided into two groups: Tuberculous (30) and nontuberculous (30) pleural effusion.

Serum zinc and malondialdehyde concentrations and their relation to total antioxidant capacity in protein energy malnutrition.

The aim of present study was to assess the association between serum zinc and oxidant/antioxidant status in children with protein energy malnutrition. Serum zinc, total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde were measured spectrophotometrically in 100 children (6 mo to 5 y); out of these, 50 children were malnourished and 50 children served as controls. Serum zinc levels were found to be significantly low in the malnourished (p<0.

Diagnostic value of adenosine deaminase to differentiate exudates and transudates.

The differentiation of pleural effusions as exudates or transudates is the first step in the diagnosis of pleural effusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of adenosine deaminase (ADA) concentration in the pleural effusions for differentiating exudates from transudates. Sixty indoor patients, admitted to our hospital, having pleural effusions and suffering from varying etiologies were included in this study.
