Hypertonic versus isotonic salt bridges and the measurement of ionized calcium

Comparison of hypertonic and isotonic reference electrode junctions for measuring ionized calcium in whole blood: a clinical study.

We measured ionized calcium concentrations in whole blood from 91 patients who had no clinical or biochemical evidence of disturbed calcium homeostasis and who had a wide range of serum albumin concentrations. We used both a standard Ciba-Corning 634 analyzer, which has a membrane-restricted saturated KCl reference electrode bridge, and a modified instrument with a 150 mmol/L NaCl bridge. After...

Reducing routine ionized calcium measurement.

BACKGROUND Ionized calcium (iCa) is measured frequently in hospitalized patients, and hypocalcemia is frequently found, seemingly supporting the practice. METHODS We retrieved the results of 58 040 iCa tests and records of intravenous (IV) and oral calcium supplementation from laboratory and hospital information systems and evaluated them for frequency of testing, frequency of hypocalcemia, a...

the effect of oxytetracycline on serum calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in cattle

نتایج این مطالعه نشان می دهد که مقدار کلسیم (یونیزه و تام)، منیزیم و فسفر به طور معنی داری تغییر پیدا کرد به جزء مقدار کلسیم تام و منیزیم در روش داخل عضلانی که تغییر معنی داری نداشته است. بر اساس نتایج این مطالعه می توان نتیجه گیری کرد که اکسی تتراساکلین بر روی مقادیر سرمی کلسیم و منیزیم تأثیر می گذارد باید مقدار این کاتیون ها در بیماران، در هنگامی که اکسی تتراسایکلین استفاده می شود مورد توجه ق...

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
