Evaluation and determining of the Pattern of the Human Albumin Utilization at Shahid Rahimi Hospital, Khorramabad, Iran [PDF]
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has supported many intervention strategies, including executive, educational, and monitoring proceedings to improve the evaluation of drug use and the drug management system. Since the resources are limited,

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for urinary albumin at low concentrations [PDF]
We describe an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for urinary albumin. It requires only commercially available reagents, can detect as little as 16 micrograms of albumin per liter, and analytical recovery ranges from 92 to 116%.

Allosteric modulation of zinc speciation by fatty acids [PDF]
Background: Serum albumin is the major protein component of blood plasma and is responsible for the circulatory transport of a range of small molecules that include fatty acids, hormones, metal ions and drugs.

Allosteric inhibition of cobalt binding to albumin by fatty acids : implications for the detection of myocardial ischemia [PDF]
The biomarker "ischemia-modified albumin" (IMA), measured by the albumin-cobalt-binding assay (ACB assay), is the only FDA-approved biomarker for early diagnosis of myocardial ischemia.

An albumin-derived peptide scaffold capable of binding and catalysis [PDF]
We have identified a 101-amino-acid polypeptide derived from the sequence surrounding the IIA binding site of human albumin. The polypeptide contains residues that make contact with ligands as warfarin in the parent protein, and eight cysteine residues ...

Albumin concentrations are primarily determined by the body cell mass and the systemic inflammatory response in cancer patients with weight loss [PDF]
The association between hypoalbuminemia and poor prognosis in patients with cancer is well recognized. However, the factors that contribute to the fall in albumin concentrations are not well understood.

Changes in serum albumin concentrations over 7 days in medical inpatients with and without nutritional support. A secondary post-hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Background: Serum albumin concentrations are frequently used to monitor nutritional therapy in the hospital setting but supporting studies are largely lacking. Within this secondary analysis of a randomized nutritional trial (EFFORT), we assessed whether

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

Nasal Polyposis and Serum Albumin: Systemic Effects of Local Inflammation [PDF]
Introduction The genesis of chronic rhinosinusitis is always a topic of debate. A polyp is a pale, edematous tissue emerging mostly from the middle meatus.

Plasma free fatty acid levels influence Zn2+-dependent histidine-rich glycoprotein-heparin interactions via an allosteric switch on serum albumin [PDF]
Background: Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) regulates coagulation, through its ability to bind and neutralize heparins. HRG associates with zinc ions (Zn2+) to stimulate HRG-heparin complex formation. Under normal conditions the majority of plasma Zn2+
