Complete Balance Studies of Nitrogen, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Calcium, and Magnesium in Intestinal Infantilism
نویسندگان
چکیده
In two cases of infantilism there was poor absorption from the intestines of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. The excretion of these elements in the urine was low. The excretion of calcium in the urine was so small as to be negligible. The excretion of calcium into the intestines was increased. The complete balance experiments showed that while other elements were retained, calcium was lost.

A Study of the Metabolism of Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen in Acromegaly
A distinct retention of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus was noted, which was not accompanied by corresponding changes in general metabolism, as evidenced by a practical balance of nitrogen and sulphur. It is concluded that there is a primary disturbance in the metabolism of the mineral elements mentioned, with the probable formation of new bony tissue. The distribution of elements between ur...
متن کاملChemical Studies on Intestinal Infantilism
In three cases of intestinal infantilism, the excretion of nitrogen in the urine per square meter of body surface was low. The heat radiation was normal. In spite of the fact that the absolute quantity of nitrogen was low, the distribution of nitrogen and sulphur among the various nitrogen and sulphur constituents of the urine was in the normal ratio. The ammonia excretion was normal. The ether...

Carbon and nutrient stocks in below-ground biomass have rarely been investigated in tropical montane forests. Inthepresentstudy, theamountsofcarbon,nitrogen,phosphorus, sulphur,potassium,calciumandmagnesium in root biomass were determined by soil coring and nutrient analysis in forests at three altitudes (1900, 2400 and 3000m) in the Ecuadorian Andes. Root biomass increased markedly from 2.8 kg...
متن کاملThe Metabolic Response to Burns
Since Cuthbertson first published his important investigations, the metabolic response to trauma has been the subject of continuous study in many disciplines of medicine (1-8). An impressive body of knowledge has been accumulated with respect to changes in plasma electrolyte concentrations, urinary electrolyte excretion, body composition, and adrenocortical activity. There is general agreement ...
