Narrowing the Gap between the Anion Gap and the Strong Ion Gap
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Despite its importance in understanding acid-base pathophysiology, many physicians do not comprehend the concept of the strong anion gap (SIG), the core of the Stewart acid-base approach. The quantitative difference between the anion gap and the strong ion gap is not established. This paper will give insight into this difference over a variety of conditions Methods. The empiric difference between the SIG and the albumin-corrected anion gap (AGc) was calculated at a wide range of albumin, phosphorus and pH levels.

Design and Validation of a Conceptual Model for Narrowing the Gap between Intended, Implemented, and Attained Curricula in the Public Education System in Iran
Abstract: The present research aimed at developing and validating a conceptual model for narrowing the gap between intended, implemented, and attained curricula in the public education system in Iran. Two fundamental questions guided this investigation: what model can be developed to reduce the gap between the three mentioned curricula? To what extent does the proposed model gain the approval? ...
متن کاملAnion gap corrected for albumin, phosphate and lactate is a good predictor of strong ion gap in critically ill patients: a nested cohort study
OBJECTIVE Corrected anion gap and strong ion gap are commonly used to estimate unmeasured anions. We evaluated the performance of the anion gap corrected for albumin, phosphate and lactate in predicting strong ion gap in a mixed population of critically ill patients. We hypothesized that anion gap corrected for albumin, phosphate and lactate would be a good predictor of strong ion gap, independ...
متن کاملAn Improvement to the Properties of GAP Binder with Energetic Ionic Liquids
Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is used as a binder in the propellants. Energetic ionic liquids are used as a plasticizer to correct the properties of polymer. In this study, first ionic liquid was bonded to the GAP by certain amount and then the energetic anions of nitrate (NO3) and azide (N3) were used to exchange anion. FTIR analyses confirm accurately anions exchange. DSC, viscometer and heat ...

PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 50 consecutive patients with a metabo...
متن کاملQuantitative Physicochemical Analysis of Acid‐Base Balance and Clinical Utility of Anion Gap and Strong Ion Gap in 806 Neonatal Calves with Diarrhea
BACKGROUND Acid-base abnormalities in neonatal diarrheic calves can be assessed by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation or the simplified strong ion approach which use the anion gap (AG) or the strong ion gap (SIG) to quantify the concentration of unmeasured strong anions such as D-lactate. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To determine and compare the clinical utility of AG and SIG in quantifying th...
