We compared vasoactive effects of intravenous nicotine (36 micrograms/kg/min) in regional cerebral circulations under pentobarbital and chloralose anesthesia. Experiments were conducted in three groups of dogs: Group I, pentobarbital anesthesia with fixed ventilation; Group II, chloralose anesthesia
Should significant pH heterogeneity exist within cells then the simultaneous calculation of intracellular pH from the distribution of a weak acid will give a value closest to the highest pH in the system, whereas calculation from the distribution of a weak base will give a value closer to the lowest
A woman with oat cell carcinoma of the lung showed the typical findings of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH initially during her hospital course. Ectopic production of ADH was indicated. The presence of ectopic production of ACTH was then suggested after the appearance of the elevation
Chronic liquorice ingestion is a rare cause of secondary hypertension and hypokalaemia with periodic paralysis. We report the case of a middle-aged Indian man who presented with hypertension and hypokalaemic alkalosis with recurrent bouts of periodic paralysis. Biochemical investigations revealed
Drug-induced acid-base disorders may be classified into four categories with respect to the mechanism. 1. Metabolic acidosis is induced by a large acid loads incurred from exogenous sources (e.g. NH4Cl, or toxin ingestion) or endogenous acid production (e.g. generation of ketoacids or lactic acids
BACKGROUND
The aim of this work was to improve the efficacy of rehabilitation by retraining, by oral supply in branched-chain aminoacids (BCAA). Patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency mainly suffer from obstructive bronchitis due to tobacco or asthma. Nutritional assessment is one of the
Objective: Adolescent e-cigarette use has risen to epidemic levels in the US, revealing a new phenomenon of e-cigarette associated vaping lung injury (EVALI). It is important to better characterize EVALI in the critically ill adolescent
The incidence of acid-base disorders (ABDs) is high, especially in hospitalized patients. ABDs are often indicators for severe systemic disorders. In everyday clinical practice, analysis of ABDs must be performed in a standardized manner. Highly sensitive diagnostic tools to distinguish the various
