An excellent discussion on theoretical and practical uses of serum protein electrophoresis.

I am not a pathologist or involved directly in the medical profession. That said, I did have occasion to review this book which is unintelligible from beginning to end. I don't think ANY word is under 20 characters, unhyphenated or to be found in an English language dictionary. The experience is like reading a car mechanics guide but more specialized and much less interesting. A jargon fest.

Although not from this publication, it reads somewhat similarly to this small, more comprehensible tract on a related topic also by Keren: "The buffer cations flow towards the cathode creating an endosmotic flow. Because of this reaction, some proteins that are weakly negatively charged and that would be expected to migrate toward the anode are found cathodal to the origin after electrophoresis is complete. Indeed, in CE, the endosmotic flow is responsible for pulling the proteins past the photodetector."

Not recommended to any reader but the pathologist living in a seemingly humorless alternative world.
