Effect of Chemotherapy on Protein Level of Under Treatment Cancer Sufferers

/in /by

Introduction: Cancer staging is an important aspect of cancer management and directly affects the treatment plan of the patient.  There are several protein tumour markers that helps in the diagnosis as well as prognosis of cancer patients.

Aim:  The current study aims to evaluate the total protein value from the serum samples of selected cancer patients and see any pattern with different stages of patients.

Materials & Method:  Total proteins were measured by IR-VS spectroscopy method and compared in different patients.

Result:  The spectrophotometric analysis of the collected serum samples showed that chemotherapy induced total protein loss is associated with dysregulation in serum proteins and electrolytes. Total protein is a significant marker that can help determine the tumour staging in cancer patients and thus can act as a prognostic marker also.  It is a simple, non-invasive and cost effective method of analysis.

Etiopathogenesis of Calcium–Phosphorus Metabolism in Rabbits

/in /by

In this article clinical signs, hematological indicators and photo morphological changes in bones of the etiopathogenesis of calcium–phosphorus metabolism in rabbits are described. Low–nutrition, poor–quality feeding of mother rabbits during the estrus period means that the needs of the mother rabbits’ body for vitamins and macro–microelements are not fully met. Disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in rabbits are on average 53,3% during the gestation period and on average 73,3% during the postpartum period. It is accompanied by symptoms such as a decrease in response to external influences, swelling of the skin, a decrease in gloss, strong whitening of the mucous membranes, a decrease in body weight, accompanied by symptoms such as a change in appetite.
