Colloquium on rethinking the future of scientific communication.
1. Oxalate crystals may occur in the CSF with ethylene glycol poisoning or primary hyperoxaluria type 1. Ethylene glycol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to form glycolic and oxalic acids. 2. Serum electrolytes and osmolality can be measured, and the anion and osmolar gaps can be calculated. Ethylene glycol poisoning is associated with an increased osmolar gap and increased anion gap met...
متن کاملOsmolar relation between cerebrospinal fluid and serum in hyperosmolar hypernatraemic dehydration.
The relation between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum osmolality was studied in 16 patients with hyperosmolar hypernatraemic dehydration before treatment. After correcting shock and acidosis, 0-45% saline in 2-5 or 5% dextrose was infused in each patient over a 48- to 72-hour period. During rehydration, serum osmolality, electrolyte concentrations, urea nitrogen, and blood pH were measured s...
متن کاملLactate and the osmolar gap
Although the teaching case report in the March 27 issue on a negative anion gap and elevated osmolar gap resulting from lithium overdose is interesting, I identified the following concern. In the third paragraph from the end of the report, the authors listed lactate as one of the potential causes of an elevated osmolar gap that they excluded. It is unfortunate that they perpetuated this common ...
متن کاملThe temporal relationship between glucose-corrected serum sodium and neurological status in severe diabetic ketoacidosis.
OBJECTIVE Cerebral oedema is a potentially devastating complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The relationship between osmolar changes, acid-base changes and development of cerebral oedema during therapy is unclear. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study on 53 children with severe DKA (mean pH at presentation 6.92±0.08). Cerebral oedema was diagnosed using neurological status, response to os...
متن کاملSunlight effect on Ca and P serum concentration and factors influencing on regulation of two lons
The sunlight has an important role in metabolism of calcium ( Ca) and phosphorus ( P). The sunlight has different effects in different places. Therefore the pattern of metabolic disease depends upon geographical place. In this investigation two groups of workers( one group working in shadow and the other under the sunshine) were chosen as control and experimental groups respectively.these two ...
