Profound metabolic acidosis from pyroglutamic acidemia: an underappreciated cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis.
The workup of the emergency patient with a raised anion gap metabolic acidosis includes assessment of the components of “MUDPILES” (methanol; uremia; diabetic ketoacidosis; paraldehyde; isoniazid, iron or inborn errors of metabolism; lactic acid; ethylene glycol; salicylates). This approach is usually sufficient for the majority of cases in the emergency department; however, there are many othe...
متن کاملIntransitivity without Zeno’s Paradox
Stuart Rachels and Larry Temkin have put forward a number of alleged counterexamples to the transitivity of the relation " all things considered better than ". 1 Several of these cases share a common structure. 2 A representative example by Rachels is as follows: Each outcome in [this] counterexample involves a single person's experience: A: 1 year of excruciating agony. B: 100 years of pain sl...

blood returning to the patient [2–4, 8] . This hypercapnia lowers pH despite high bicarbonate concentration but without hypoxia, unless lung disease coexists. The added CO 2 normally is quickly removed by respiration and systemic pCO 2 remains essentially unaffected. Having said that, ‘dialysis-related acidemia’ is the typical acid-base pattern of blood exiting the filter (venous line) in bicar...
متن کاملMeasuring poverty without the Mortality Paradox
Under income-differentiated mortality, poverty measures reflect not only the "true" poverty, but, also, the interferences or noise caused by the survival process at work. Such interferences lead to the Mortality Paradox: the worse the survival conditions of the poor are, the lower the measured poverty is. We examine several solutions to avoid that paradox. We identify conditions under which the...
