STUDIES ON URINARY ACIDITY. II

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

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. ...

BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON DIPHENHYDRAMINE (BENADRYL*) II. DISTRIBUTION IN TISSUES AND URINARY EXCRETIONt

Benadryl has been used extensively as an antihistamine agent, but little is known concerning its mode of action or metabolic fate. It is rapidly absorbed, as shown by earlier blood level studies (l-3) and the fact that clinical effects are observed in less than an hour (4). This paper presents observations on the distribution of Benadryl in the rat, chosen for its resistance to the action of hi...

On the origin of urinary angiotensin II.

Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. To the Editor: With great interest we read the publication by Shao et al, 1 who propose that angiotensin (Ang) II type 1 (AT 1) receptor stimulation in the kidney results in urinary Ang II excretion. The authors ha...
