albumin/diarrhea

The pathogenesis of protracted diarrhea is multifactorial. In developing countries, intestinal infectious processes seem to play an important role in triggering the syndrome. Thirty-four children aged 1 to 14 months, mean 6.5 months, with protracted diarrhea were studied clinically and in terms of

To compare the efficacy of albumin to normal saline (NS) for initial hydration therapy for dehydrated term infants with severe metabolic acidosis due to acute diarrhea. METHODS We randomized 33 infants presenting with moderate-to-severe dehydration and metabolic acidosis (pH <7.25 or base excess

Three experiments were conducted to determine effects of Cu hydroxychloride on DE and ME, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), and growth performance of pigs fed a diet based on corn and soybean meal (SBM). In Exp. 1, 80 weanling pigs (6.80 ±

OBJECTIVE To determine effectiveness of a new and practical method for fluid resuscitation of dehydrated diarrheic calves. METHODS Animals randomly allocated to 4 groups with appropriate controls. METHODS 16 healthy male dairy calves, 3 to 6 days old. METHODS After instrumentation and recording

OBJECTIVE Diagnosis in chronic diarrhea in the absence of a distinctive clinical pattern is often challenging, as biochemical tests prescribed at the first evaluation do not show enough sensitivity and specificity to tailor further investigation. Intestinal permeability to sugars is an accurate test

BACKGROUND Because altered immune responses may be a risk factor for persistent diarrhea, various aspects of the immune response were examined to elucidate the underlying immune mechanisms that may be involved in the development of persistent diarrhea. METHODS Children (7-12 months of age) with

OBJECTIVE The study evaluated which viruses can be detected in dogs with acute hemorrhagic diarrhea and compared signalment, clinical signs, and laboratory abnormalities among groups of dogs infected with different viruses and those that tested virus-negative. METHODS Fecal samples from 935 dogs

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of treating osmotic diarrhea and dehydration in calves with hypertonic saline solution (HSS) IV, isotonic electrolyte solution (IES) PO, and a combination of these 2 solutions (HSS + IES). METHODS Eighteen male calves 8-30 days of age were

OBJECTIVE To determine fecal protein loss in children with acute and persistent diarrhea. BACKGROUND In children with diarrhea, ongoing losses of endogenous proteins have been suggested as contributing to impairment of nutritional and immunologic status. However, there is a paucity of information

OBJECTIVE To assess blood oxygen binding in calves with diarrhea. METHODS 22 dairy and 26 double-muscled calves with diarrhea, 31 healthy dairy calves and 37 healthy double-muscled calves. METHODS Severity of disease, including the ability of affected calves to stand, was evaluated. Hydration and

Berberine is an important traditional medicinal herb, which has been effectively used in the treatment of dysentery, diarrhea, stomatitis, throat infections, and hepatitis in folk medicine. In this study, the interaction between Berberine and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by

A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of severe diarrhea, irritableness, and severe pitting edema of the legs. The patient had been well until 5 years before admission, when a tremor and tachycardia developed and a diagnosis of Graves' disease was made. Treatment with methimazole

HIV disease is often associated with the condition of diarrhea, which may be accompanied by enteric infection or gastrointestinal tumor. This study prospectively investigated 27 episodes of chronic diarrhea in 24 patients with HIV infection. Upper endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy with biopsies at three
