DISTURBANCE IN WATER METABOLISM

Water Animation with Disturbance Model

This paper provides a physically based model to animate water. A disturbance model is proposed to simulate various kinds of waves. We use a powerful solver called Finite Volume Method to solve the water uid equation and give various kinds of disturbance to the solutions according to di erent disturbance sources such as wind and rain droplets. In this way, we can nicely simulate the movement of ...

Iron Metabolism Disturbance in a French Cohort of ALS Patients

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess iron status in a cohort of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients compared to controls in order to evaluate these parameters as a risk factor or a modifying factor of ALS. METHODS We collected serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron-binding capacity, and transferrin saturation coefficient (TSC) from 104 ALS patients at the time of diag...

Water Metabolism in Hypertensive Rats

The water intake in hypertensive rats was investigated. Rats made hypertensive by renal ischemia increased their water consumption by 75 per cent over the preoperative level. Polyuria was associated with this polydipsia and the independence of these occurrences from a number of other factors was demonstrated. It was found that the presence of a normal kidney exerted a compensatory influence whi...

Disorders of Water Metabolism

Disorders of water balance and serum Na ( S Na ) are very common in hospitalized patients [ 1 ] . In health, water balance and plasma osmolality, and thereby S Na , are tightly regulated by the kidney, which makes minute-by-minute adjustments to the composition of urine in order to maintain a near-constant plasma osmolality. The development of hyponatremia or hypernatremia may therefore re fl e...
