The performance of an enzymatic colorimetric method for the determination of inorganic phosphorus in serum and urine is described. Phosphate ions react with inosine in the presence of purine nucleoside phosphorylase to form hypoxanthine; this is oxidized by xanthine oxidase to uric acid with production of hydrogen peroxide. The latter is determined with the aid of the chromogen system peroxidase/4-aminophenazone/N-ethyl-N-(3-methylphenyl)-N'-acetylethyl enediamine , the coloured product being measured at 555 nm. This series of reactions is completed in 5 min at 37 degrees C. The test is linear up to 240 mg/l. Analytical recovery in serum averaged 101.2 +/- 1.2% and in urine 101.9 +/- 3.2%. Within-run and between-run precision studies in serum and urine samples gave CVs less than or equal to 4.54% (at 22.0 mg/l). Results obtained by this method agree (r = greater than or equal to 0.983) with the molybdate UV and molybdenum blue methods. Interference by endogenous substances, including organic phosphate, was negligible.

Background: Over the past decade, the use of organophosphate insecticides including chlorpyrifos has faced increasing restrictions due to health concerns, leading to a rise in use of pyrethroids. Concerns about neurodevelopmental insults following pyrethroids exposure exist, but few studies have examined the long-term effects of childhood exposure to chlorpyrifos and pyrethroids on IQ.
Objective: To investigate the prospective associations between pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos exposure at age 5 years and IQ scores assessed at age 7.

Background: The management of multiple myeloma is challenging because the disease is incurable and unexpected relapses can threaten a patient's survival. Several assessment systems are currently available, but they often require invasive or costly procedures (e.g.

Background: Schistosomiasis is caused by infection with parasitic worms and affects more than 250 million people globally. The detection of schistosome derived circulating cathodic and anodic antigens (CCA and CAA) has proven highly valuable for detecting active infections, causing both intestinal and urinary schistosomiasis.
Aim: The combined detection of CCA and CAA was explored to improve accuracy in detecting infections.

Minimal change disease (MCD) accounts for 10 - 15% of idiopathic nephrotic syndromes in adults. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is rarely ascribed as a cause of MCD and was previously associated with interferon-based therapy. MCD in treatment-naïve chronic HCV infection is extremely rare, with only 3 cases reported in the literature.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates, with male cases of AAM being less frequently reported. This study presents a rare case of primary prostatic AAM characterized by a prostatic urethral mass obstructing the bladder outlet, resulting in acute renal dysfunction.
Case Description: The 51-year-old male patient presented with lumbar pain, nausea, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination.
