Studies in Experimental Tetany

Further Experimental Studies in Tetany

It has been our aim to determine in what particular the blood is altered during tetany so that it can produce hyperexcitability of the motor nerves. As a working hypothesis it has been assumed that (1) there may be a lack of calcium in the blood and tissues; (2) there may be a circulating poison which like an oxalate could render inactive the circulating calcium; and (3) there may be a substanc...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Tetany in the Newborn *

Neonatal tetany is a disorder so inconstant in its initial symptomatology and so obscure in its etiology that its very existence has been doubted. The tendency to spontaneous recovery and the supposedly quick response to treatment have retarded a fuller understanding of the disease, since many observers have been prone to use subsidence of symptoms as prima facie evidence of the presence of the...

Tetany in Children

1S a flexion at the elbow joint and both the hands will be turned towards the median line. When the spasm is severe no movement is possible at the wrist. Any attempt at separation ?f the fingers is resented because of pain; though the child may grasp its food or leave it without much inconvenience. If the fingers are forcibly separated they immediately come together. In the feet the first row o...
