STUDIES OF URINARY ACIDITY

Ketonuria and Urinary Acidity.

The significance of acetone bodies in the urine subsequent to surgical operations has long been the cause of controversy and is not as yet settled. It is now well recognised that ketone bodies are not necessarily associated with acidosis. Although a ketosis usually accompanies an acidosis, the reverse is by no means the case. Despite the fact that a true acidosisa lepletion of the alkali reserv...

Studies on Urinary Acidity, and a Method for Electrometric Titration of Urine

Studies of Urinary Acidity. I. Some Effects of Drinking Large Amounts of Orange Juice and Sour Milk

It is known that the eating of most fruits leads to the formation of less acid urines due to the excess of base-forming elements in the fruits. The organic acids contained in the various fruits are oxidized within the body to carbon dioxide and water, so that the net result to the organism is a gain in base. However fruits such as cranberries, prunes, and plums, which contain benzoic acid or it...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Electromyographic Studies on Urinary Tract

With 14 patients and 50 adult dogs, and using the recording method of the ureteral EMG referred in our 1st report1), the effects of the two muscular re laxants, succinylcholine chloride (SCC) and d-tubocurarine chloride (d-Tc), on the ureteral smooth muscle were observed. The ureteral EMG and the EMG of the respiratory muscles which belong to the striated muscles were recorded simultane ously. ...
