In the summer of 1995, 30 tonnes of eel (Anguilla anguilla) died in Lake Balaton, Hungary. An investigation was carried out to find the causes of this ecocatastrophe. During this investigation, certain biochemical parameters, i.

Similarities and differences between the massive eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) devastations that occurred in Lake Balaton in 1991 and 1995.

In the past few years, two massive eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) devastations occurred in Lake Balaton, Hungary. In 1991, 300 tons of eel perished in the western basin of the lake, while in the summer of 1995 30 tons of eel died in the eastern part of the lake.

Haematology and coagulation indices in paired samples of arterial and venous blood from patients with arterial disease.

To investigate whether there are differences in haematology and coagulation indices in arterial and venous plasma, and whether those changes related to damage to the endothelium in atherosclerosis, we obtained blood samples from 22 subjects undergoing diagnostic angiography. There were no differences in any of the 15 routine haematological indices measured. There were no differences in prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, tissue plasminogen activator, D-dimer, leucocyte elastase, soluble P-selectin or von Willebrand factor.
