  • The History of Military Toxicology
    HISTORICAL ARTICLE THE HISTORY OF MILITARY TOXICOLOGY Jiří Bajgar, Josef Fusek Military Medical Academy, Hradec Králové; (Rector: doc. MUDr. S. Bùma, CSc.) However, the name of the Department as well as the term ãmilitary“ were excluded from the title. The Institute was designated as the Medical Research Institute for foreign journals only. On the other hand, in the Czech journals which were freely circulated abroad, the word ãmilitary“ was present as well as other specifications such as military rank. At this time, the Department was equipped with tech- niques on very sophisticated basis, e.g. fluorimeter Farrand, Auto Analyzer Technicon, ultracentrifuge MSE etc. The staff of the Department was also on high level able to cover the research of toxic substances from synthesis and analy- sis (Ing. F. Ornst, CSc.) later on through toxicity testing COL Assoc. Prof. J. Bajgar, (1944) COL Prof. J. Fusek (1945) (MUDr. M. Krejcar, CSc.; MUDr. V. Hrdina, CSc.), inclu- ding percutaneous route of administration (MUDr. V. Research on protection against CWA was very intense Vondráček, CSc.), biochemical characterization in vitro in the former Czechoslovakia. As early as pre-WW II, this and in vivo (MUDr. Tulach, CSc. and MUDr. A. Jakl, research was conducted at the Military Technical Institute CSc.), histochemical evoluation (MUDr. R.

Prerenal azotemia is caused by a reduction of the • 3 g lomerular filtration rate (GFR} provoked by an insult to the vascular supply to the kidney. Causes of prerenal azotemia include heart failure, sepsis, and renal artery stenosis. The reduction in GFR increases the accumulation of both blood urea nitrogen (BUN} and creatinine (Cr} in the • 4 blood, but because the BUN concentration in blood is determined by both g lomerular filtration and reabsorption (in contrast to Cr, which is • 5 limited to filtration and not reabsorbed}, the BUN level rises out of proportion to the Cr leveL This therefore elevates the BUN :Cr ratio.

  • Name: Akinbile Grace Oluwaseun Matric Number
    NAME: AKINBILE GRACE OLUWASEUN MATRIC NUMBER: 18/MHS02/029 DEPARTMENT: NURSING, MHS COURSE CODE: PHS 212 (PHYSIOLOGY) ANSWER URINALYSIS Urinalysis is the process of analysing urine for target parameters of health and disease. A urinalysis (UA), also known as routine and microscopy (R&M), is an array of tests performed on urine, and one of the most common methods of medical diagnosis. Urinalysis means the analysis of urine, and it is used to diagnose several diseases. The target parameters that are measured or quantified in urinalysis include many substances and cells, as well as other properties, such as specific gravity. A part of a urinalysis can be performed by using urine test strips, in which the test results can be read as the strip’s colour changes. Another method is light microscopy of urine samples. Test Strip Urinalysis Test strip urinalysis exposes urine to strips that react if the urine contains certain cells or molecules. Test strip urinalysis is the most common technique used in routine urinalysis. A urine test strip can identify: Leukocytes—their presence in urine is known as leukocyturia. Nitrites—their presence in urine is known as nitrituria. Proteins —their presence in urine is known as proteinuria, albuminuria, or micro albuminuria. Blood—its presence in urine is known as haematuria. pH—the acidity of urine is easily quantified by test strips, which can identify cases of metabolic acidosis or alkalosis. Urine Microscopy The numbers and types of cells and/or material, such as urinary casts, can yield a great detail of information and may suggest a specific diagnosis.

Doxycycline treatment caused the rapid disappear- ance of human NF-L (hNF-L) mRNA in tTA;hNF-L mice, but the hNF-L proteins remained with a half-life of 3 weeks in the brain. In the sciatic nerve, the disappearance of hNF-L proteins after doxycycline treatment occurred in synchrony along the sciatic nerve, suggesting a proteolysis of NF proteins along the entire axon. The presence of permanent NF network in tTA;hNF-L;NF-L ϩ/Ϫ mice further stabilized and extended longevity of hNF-L proteins by several months. Surprisingly, after cessation of doxycycline treatment, there was no evidence of leading front of newly synthesized hNF-L proteins migrating into sciatic nerve axons devoid of NF structures.

The toxicoki- netic properties of compounds can form valuable information in human risk assessment. In vivo as well as in vitro , biological targets are exposed to concentrations of the compounds or their metabolites. Concentrations and their time course, mostly determined in blood or plasma, provide the most direct link between the observed or predicted in vivo effects and the effects observed in vitro . Accurate quantitative knowledge of the in vivo concentra- tion-time relationship is therefore a prerequisite for the correct interpretation of in vitro toxicity testing results. Classical compartmental modelling parameters were chosen to de- scribe the in vivo kinetic properties as they fulfil the needs for prediction of in vivo con- centration time profiles under linear conditions.

  • Urinalysis: Sediment Examination, Currently, a Liquid Kidney Biopsy?
    Nephrology and Renal Diseases Review Article ISSN: 2399-908X Urinalysis: Sediment examination, currently, a liquid kidney biopsy? Glísia Mendes Tavares Gomes* Laboratório de Diagnóstico, Ensino e Pesquisa-Centro de Saúde Escola Germano Sinval Faria/Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca (ENSP/Fiocruz), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Abstract The current article aims to assist in understanding the importance of urinalysis, more specifically, urinary sediment examination, in the diagnosis and monitoring of kidney injuries, its particularities and, especially, its most relevant characteristics: sample which is easy to obtain, low execution cost and diagnostic utility. In view of the panorama of the increase in kidney diseases in recent decades, the application of this analytical tool has been of paramount importance, which, when performed well, both in laboratory and clinic, can bring great benefits to patients who use it, being these people in a risk group for chronic kidney diseases or not. The databases used for search were- PubMed, Scielo and Web of Science. Introduction Urine testing is emphasized as an excellent biomarker of kidney disease. We highlight the important contribution of the centrifuged Among the diseases that represent a major public health problem urine test, evaluated by an experienced nephrologist, as a tool in the are the different types of kidney disorders that affect about 850 million diagnosis and management of many conditions that affect the kidneys people around the world [1,2]. It is believed that until 2040, chronic [18-28]. However, studies indicate low sensitivity and high specificity kidney disease (CKD) will be the fifth disease in numbers of death [2,3].
