Placental-type alkaline phosphatase in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were studied in peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with untreated endometriosis and control women who had normal pelves. The patients (n = 18) had significantly higher total ALP (8.65 +/- 5.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of CA-125 in serum of patients with endometriosis: efficacy in diagnosis.

We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantify CA-125, a cancer antigen, in serum of patients with endometriosis. Concentrations of CA-125 in 103 patients with untreated endometriosis significantly (P less than 0.005) exceeded those for 31 controls with no evidence of disease: 9.

Changes in rat respiratory behavior under varying PCO2 levels and argon content in hyperbaric Ar-O2-CO2 atmospheres.

An anesthetized rat preparation has been used for breathing studies in hyperbaric Ar-O2-CO2 atmospheres in which total saturation pressure was varied in the range 1-19.1 ATA and PCO2 was set at levels of 0.0, 0.
