OBJECTIVE To identify current prescribing and administration practices in relation to intravenous potassium chloride (IV KCl). METHODS A prospective multicentre assessment of IV KCl prescribing and administration at six public hospitals (three large metropolitan hospitals, a smaller metropolitan

Ozone (O3) could be absorbed by boric acid-potassium iodide (BKI) absorbent solution to produce tri-iodine ion (I3(-)) that react with victoria blue B (VBB) to form the associated particle (VBB-I3)n and exhibited a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 722 nm. Under the chosen

The construction of evaporative ponds and wetlands for the disposal of waste water high in ionic concentrations is a waste disposal strategy currently considered by many industries. However, the design, construction and management of these ponds and wetlands are not straightforward as complex

Seven female and three male common wombats (Vombatus ursinus) collected from forested areas of Victoria (Australia) over a 10 mo period, 10 April 1997 to 22 February 1998 had at least 30% of their skin affected by severe hyperkeratotic sarcoptic mange. Mangy wombats were grazing during the day,

On 12 May 1857, Edward Sieveking read a paper on epilepsy to the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society in London. During the discussion that followed Sir Charles Locock, obstetrician to Queen Victoria, was reported to have commented that during the past 14 months he had used potassium bromide to

The purpose of the present study has been to develop simple fish preservation techniques applicable at artisanal level in developing countries in the tropical zone. Mesophilic motile Aeromonas spp. which were classified as specific spoilage bacteria of Nile perch ( Lates niloticus ) from Lake

BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is associated with hyponatraemia but associations with potassium levels are less well studied. There is a clear physiological link between sodium and potassium and abnormal potassium levels that can lead to dangerous

OBJECTIVE To examine sodium and potassium urinary excretion by socioeconomic status (SES), discretionary salt use habits and dietary sources of sodium and potassium in a sample of Australian schoolchildren. METHODS Cross-sectional study. METHODS Primary schools located in Victoria,

Hematological and serum biochemical values were determined in a wild population of the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus caninus) at Cambarville, central Victoria, southeastern Australia. Animals were sampled during two-week trapping periods in June, September, and December 1992, and April

Three Quarter Horse stallions and 5 of their 11 tested progeny were diagnosed as affected with the inherited autosomal dominant defect hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis in Victoria in 1992. The diagnoses were based on the appearance of clinical signs and associated increased plasma potassium

The clinical, blood biochemical and autopsy findings on a cow affected by a 'non-alert downer cow syndrome' are described in detail and compared with brief clinical and biochemical details from six similar cases attended elsewhere. The significance of the biochemical observations is discussed in

BACKGROUND Dietary sodium and potassium are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Data exploring the cardiovascular outcomes associated with these electrolytes within Australian children is sparse. Furthermore, an objective measure of sodium and potassium intake within this group

In a study of dairy and beef herds on 120 farms in south-western Victoria, losses attributed to grass tetany were shown to have been an important cause of economic loss during the cooler months of 1980. Thin dairy cows had a higher incidence of suspected grass tetany than dairy cows in moderate body

Thirteen 24 h urine collections were made by each of the four members of an expedition to Cape Hallett, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, during five weeks of the 1982/3 summer. Each collection period was divided into the wake (0700 h-2200 h), and the sleep (2200 h-0700 h) times. Three control

Microbial community succession was examined over a two-year period using spatially and temporally coordinated water chemistry measurements, metagenomic sequencing, phylogenetic binning and de novo metagenomic assembly in the extreme hypersaline habitat of Lake Tyrrell, Victoria, Australia. Relative
