Distribution of Hemoglobin Concentration among the School Students of Rural Area of Kaski District, Nepal
Abstract: Hemoglobin is an oxygen carrying tetrameric hemeprotein found in erythrocytes where, it is responsible for binding oxygen in the lung and transporting the bound oxygen throughout the body. Its deficiency in our body causes decrease supply of oxygen that leads to various severe complications even up to death. Low Hb concentration is the common problem in the school students in developing countries. This study therefore sought to evaluate the frequency …

A Clinical Review of Anaemia
Abstract: Anaemia is defined as a haemoglobin concentration in blood below the lower limit of the normal range for the age and sex of the individual.

Comparative Evaluation of GPBB and CK-MB in Early Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients
Abstract: Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and death among people worldwide. To lower the risk of problems, early and precise diagnosis is essential, particularly for diabetes patients. The study investigates the diagnostic value of Glycogen Phosphorylase BB (GPBB), a potential early biomarker of myocardial necrosis, and compares it with CK-MB, a widely used cardiac marker, in AMI diagnosis. Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) …
