ACUTE UREMIA IN RATS: FEEDING SUCROSE OVERNIGHT IS PREFERABLE TO STARVATION

Is overnight tube feeding associated with hypoxia in stroke?

Somatosensory evoked potentials in rats with acute uremia.

The effects of acute renal failure (ARF) on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were studied in rats. With the increase in blood urea nitrogen caused by the ligation of bilateral ureters, both a significant augmentation of amplitudes of the SEP and an increase in the SEP latencies were observed. The nerve conduction velocities of peripheral nerves were unchanged. Thus a kind of cortical irri...

End-to-end esophagojejunostomy versus standard end-to-side esophagojejunostomy: which one is preferable?

 Abstract Background: End-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. To overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Methods: In this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrec...

Pathophysiology of acute uremia

Pathophysiology of acute uremia Acute renal failure has traditionally been classified as Pre-renal, intrinsic renal, and/or Post-renal in origin. Careful scrutiny of history, physical examination, laboratory findings and imaging studies of cats presenting with signs of an acute uremic crisis usually provides adequate information to identify Pre-renal, renal and Post-renal components of uremia. ...

Liver arginase activity as related to blood urea in acute uremia of new-born rats.

There is evidence to indicate that the demands imposed upon the mammalian organism to metabolize protein may be reflected by changes in the arginase activity of the liver. Particularly those conditions leading to a stimulation of protein catabolism, with its concomitant increase in the formation of urea, frequently elicit a corresponding increase in the arginase activity of the liver. Thus, ele...
