Starvation Ketoacidosis as a Cause of Unexplained Metabolic Acidosis in the Perioperative Period
BACKGROUND Besides providing anesthesia for surgery, the anesthesiologist's role is to optimize the patient for surgery and for post-surgical recovery. This involves timely identification and treatment of medical comorbidities and abnormal laboratory values that could complicate the patient's perioperative course. There are several potential causes of anion and non-anion gap metabolic acidosis ...
متن کاملProfound 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 کاملNever underestimate the importance of refraction.
Paul B. Freeman, O.D. Dsive guidelines in both optometry and ophthalmology for care of the patient with a visual impairment, there are still those who feel that once there is a measured decrease in visual acuity based on a pathology, the only helpful recourse is magnification. Unfortunately, the ‘‘best corrected’’ visual acuity is not always determined or verified. Applying magnification withou...
متن کاملThe importance of ignoring: Alpha oscillations protect selectivity.
Selective attention is often thought to entail an enhancement of some task-relevant stimulus or attribute. We discuss the perspective that ignoring irrelevant, distracting information plays a complementary role in information processing. Cortical oscillations within the alpha (8-14 Hz) frequency band have emerged as a marker of sensory suppression. This suppression is linked to selective attent...
متن کاملMetabolic acidosis in burns.
All our tests with the Navictda sp. were negative. It was apparent, therefore, that this was not the cause of trouble but that Fragilaria striatula was suspect. This is in agreement with the report of Fraser and Lyell (1963) that an eczematous eruption in an Aberdeen fisherman was caused by Fragilaria struia. That this diatom, alone out of so many present in the sea, should have a harmful effec...
