INTRODUCTION Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the leading global cause of lethal infection in humans and accounts for the largest number of drug-resistant infections by a single bacterial pathogen. Resistance is particularly high against the most widely prescribed tuberculosis (TB) drug, isoniazid. Isoniazid blocks synthesis of mycolates, ultral...
The impact of between analytical platform variability on the classification of pleural effusions into exudate or transud...
Published in Journal of clinical pathology
Light's criteria are ratios of pleural fluid to serum total protein (TP), pleural fluid to serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and pleural fluid LDH to the upper reference limit for serum LDH. They are used to classify pleural effusions into an exudate or transudate when pleural fluid protein is 25-35 g/L. We evaluated the impact of between analytica...
Combined "de novo" and "ex novo" lipid fermentation in a mix-medium of corncob acid hydrolysate and soybean oil by Trich...
Background: Microbial oil is one important bio-product for its important function in energy, chemical, and food industry. Finding suitable substrates is one key issue for its industrial application. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates can be utilized by oleaginous microorganisms with two different bio-pathways ("de novo" lipid fermentation ...
A historical perspective on crush syndrome: the clinical application of its pathogenesis, established by the study of wa...
Published in Journal of clinical pathology
Crush syndrome is a fine example of how pathology can play a direct role in revealing the best treatment and management for diseases. It can occur when crush injuries are sustained. Skeletal muscle becomes damaged under the weight of a heavy object, and victims experience severe shock and renal failure. The discovery of the pathology of crush syndr...

Validation of a locally derived serum calcium adjustment equation: relationship with total 25(OH) vitamin D and PTH leve...
Published in Journal of clinical pathology
Many clinical laboratories in the UK use a standard equation to adjust total calcium for albumin concentration. To assess the validity of this practice, we assessed the effect of the use of a traditional and locally derived calcium adjustment equation on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25(OH, hydroxy) vitamin D levels. Samples requested for calcium a...
