pubmed-article:9770815 | pubmed:abstractText | A simple and objective rapid method for assessing serum and plasma toxicity is proposed, based on registration of the frog cardiac contractions. The method permits assessment of disease severity and monitoring the time course of pathological process after surgery and plasmapheresis. The level of toxemia and disease severity did not correlate in 20% of cases. Causes of this disagreement are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
