Serum protein electrophoresis & their clinical importanceDr.M.Prasad Naidu
This document discusses serum proteins and electrophoresis techniques used to analyze them. It provides details on the major serum proteins - albumin and globulins - and their functions. Electrophoresis separates proteins based on their charge and size. Several electrophoresis methods are described, including agarose gel, SDS-PAGE, and capillary electrophoresis. Factors influencing electrophoresis results and common stains used are also outlined. The document concludes with descriptions of normal and abnormal serum protein electrophoresis patterns and their clinical significance.
Zone electrophoresis is an electrophoretic technique used to separate charged particles like proteins, nucleic acids, and biopolymers. It works by migrating the charged particles through a stabilizing medium like paper, agarose gel, or polyacrylamide gel under the influence of an electric field. The separated components form discrete zones on the supporting medium. Common types of zone electrophoresis include paper electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis using agarose or polyacrylamide, cellulose acetate electrophoresis, and thin layer electrophoresis. Each technique has advantages and applications for separating different types of biological molecules.
Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids based on their size and charge. It works by applying an electric field to a gel or membrane support medium, causing the charged molecules to migrate at different velocities depending on their size and charge. Common support media include paper, cellulose acetate, and polyacrylamide gels. Hemoglobin electrophoresis specifically separates hemoglobin types and variants to diagnose hemoglobinopathies by running blood samples on a cellulose acetate membrane in an electric field.
Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate charged molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. It works by applying an electric field to move these molecules through a buffer or gel based on their size and charge. There are several types of electrophoresis including gel electrophoresis, which separates molecules based on size using a gel matrix, and capillary electrophoresis, which uses narrow capillaries to achieve high resolution separations. Electrophoresis has many applications in areas like biochemistry, genetics, and medicine.
Capillary electrophoresis is a technique that uses narrow bore capillaries to separate charged molecules via electrophoretic mobility. When a voltage is applied, molecules migrate through the capillary at different rates depending on their charge and size. This allows analytes like proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules to be separated. Key advantages are high efficiency, short analysis times, and low sample volume requirements. Common modes include capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. Applications include analysis in pharmaceuticals and detection of microbial contamination.
At any given pH, molecules exist as electrically charged species that will migrate toward the cathode or anode under the influence of an electric field, depending on their net charge. Electrophoresis techniques separate these charged particles using an electric current applied across a buffer solution and supporting medium like agarose gel or polyacrylamide. The basic equipment required consists of a power supply delivering current between electrodes in an electrophoresis unit, which can perform vertical or horizontal gel separations. Proteins and other analytes are visualized after separation by staining or other detection methods. Electrophoresis has numerous applications in fields like medicine, biochemistry, and food analysis.

Gel Electrophoresis (suchita rawats conflicted copy 2023-04-28) (1).pptxSuchita Rawat
Gel electrophoresis is a method used to separate biomolecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins based on their size and charge. During electrophoresis, an electric current is applied to a gel, causing charged molecules to migrate through the gel at different rates depending on factors like their mass and shape. Common types of electrophoresis include agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments, and SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis to separate denatured proteins by size. Gel electrophoresis is a fundamental technique used in various applications in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Protein electrophoresis is a method used to separate proteins in a blood sample using an electric current. In the procedure, the serum sample is loaded onto a gel support medium like cellulose acetate. An electric field is applied using a buffer solution, causing the proteins to migrate based on their molecular weight and charge. The proteins separate into bands representing different protein types, such as albumin, alpha 1 globulin, alpha 2 globulin, beta globulin, and gamma globulin. After the bands form, the gel is stained to visualize the proteins, then a densitometer can quantify the amount of each band. This technique allows analysis of a protein mixture and detection of abnormalities.

Mainstreaming #CleanLanguage in healthcare.pptxJudy Rees
In healthcare, every day, millions of conversations fail. They fail to cover what’s really important, fail to resolve key issues, miss the point and lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.
Clean Language is one approach that can improve things. It’s a set of precise questions – and a way of asking them – which help us all get clear on what matters, what we’d like to have happen, and what’s needed.
Around 1000 people working in healthcare have trained in Clean Language skills over the past 20+ years. People are using what they’ve learnt, in their own spheres, and share anecdotes of significant successes. But the various local initiatives have not scaled, nor connected with each other, and learning has not been widely shared.
This project, which emerged from work done by the NHS England South-West End-Of-Life Network, with help from the Q Community and especially Hesham Abdalla, aims to fix that.
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates.
Importance in Pharmaceuticals: Understanding chemical kinetics is essential for predicting the shelf life of drugs, optimizing storage conditions, and ensuring consistent drug performance.
Rate of Reaction: The speed at which reactants are converted to products.
Factors Influencing Reaction Rates:
Concentration of Reactants: Higher concentrations generally increase the rate of reaction.
Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rates.
Catalysts: Substances that increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process.
Physical State of Reactants: The surface area and physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of reactants can affect the reaction rate.
Hepatocarcinoma today between guidelines and medical therapy. The role of sur...Gian Luca Grazi
Today more than ever, hepatocellular carcinoma therapy is experiencing profound and substantial changes.
The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Coronary Circulation and Ischemic Heart Disease_AntiCopy.pdfMedicoseAcademics
In this lecture, we delve into the intricate anatomy and physiology of the coronary blood supply, a crucial aspect of cardiac function. We begin by examining the physiological anatomy of the coronary arteries, which lie on the heart's surface and penetrate the cardiac muscle mass to supply essential nutrients. Notably, only the innermost layer of the endocardial surface receives direct nourishment from the blood within the cardiac chambers.
We then explore the specifics of coronary circulation, including the dynamics of blood flow at rest and during strenuous activity. The impact of cardiac muscle compression on coronary blood flow, particularly during systole and diastole, is discussed, highlighting why this phenomenon is more pronounced in the left ventricle than the right.
Regulation of coronary circulation is a complex process influenced by autonomic and local metabolic factors. We discuss the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, emphasizing the dominance of local metabolic factors such as hypoxia and adenosine in coronary vasodilation. Concepts like autoregulation, active hyperemia, and reactive hyperemia are explained to illustrate how the heart adjusts blood flow to meet varying oxygen demands.
Ischemic heart disease is a major focus, with an exploration of acute coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, and subsequent physiological changes. The lecture covers the progression from acute occlusion to infarction, the body's compensatory mechanisms, and the potential complications leading to death, such as cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, fibrillation, and cardiac rupture.
We also examine coronary steal syndrome, a condition where increased cardiac activity diverts blood flow away from ischemic areas, exacerbating the condition. The long-term impact of myocardial infarction on cardiac reserve is discussed, showing how the heart's capacity to handle increased workloads is significantly reduced.
Angina pectoris, a common manifestation of ischemic heart disease, is analyzed in terms of its causes, presentation, and referred pain patterns. We identify factors that exacerbate anginal pain and discuss both medical and surgical treatment options.
Finally, the lecture includes a case study to apply theoretical knowledge to a practical scenario, helping students understand the real-world implications of coronary circulation and ischemic heart disease. The role of biochemical factors in cardiac pain and the interpretation of ECG changes in myocardial infarction are also covered.
