Problems of Acid-Base Balance in Rapidly Changing Intertidal Environments

Rapidly Changing Tachyarrhythmia in Acute Stroke

Introduction: we report a 56-year-olds female with supraventricular arrhythmia due acute ischemic stroke without structural heart disease. Case Description: A patient presented with sudden onset of lethargy, right hemiplegia, and global aphasia. There was previous history of stroke 1 year ago presented with left hemiplegia that recovered completely during 10 days. There was no history of comorb...

Medical Acid-base Balance

an increase in the number of poisonings occurring in the province or from an increase in the number of enquiries with no change in the number of poisonings. (ii) there was an increase in 1976 in the number of prescriptions dispensed and therefore an increase in the number of drugs consumed. (iii) the increase in enquiries about poisoning in children, if it reflects an increase in actual poisoni...

Acid-base Balance in Sweat

The reaction, the osmotic pressure, and the volume relationships of the body fluids are closely dependent on the properly regulated acid-base equilibrium. We have attempted to work out some of the regulatory mechanisms for the preservat.ion of acidbase equilibrium during the process of heavy sweating in ways analogous to those employed in the many similar studies of blood and urine. The changes...

Disorders of Acid-base Balance

Maintenance of acid-base homeostasis is a vital function of the living organism. Deviations of systemic acidity in either direction can impose adverse consequences and when severe can threaten life itself. Acid-base disorders frequently are encountered in the outpatient and especially in the inpatient setting. Effective management of acid-base disturbances, commonly a challenging task, rests wi...
