[THE LABORATORY MARKERS OF DETECTION OF BETA-THALASSEMIA CARRIAGE]
Abstract:
The article presents the results of examination of 110 patients (57 males and 53 females aged from 2 to 58 years) with microcytic hypochromic anemia. The kit of laboratory markers comprised hematological parameters (MCV, Metzer Index), biochemical (serum iron, ferritin), electrophoresis data (Hb, A2, Hb F) and molecular genetic analysis data (mutations of beta-globin gene). The application of this kit permitted to detected and to prove carriage of thalassemia шт 70 out of 110 patients with microcytic anemia. The proposed markers' kit can be applied in screening programs and in differential diagnostic of agents of beta-thalassemia and patients with iron-deficiency anemia.

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
