SINCE the introduction of external cardiac massage the technique and results of cardiac resuscitation have received much attention, but less information is available on the effect of cardiac arrest on respiration and circulation. The authors, who provided a resuscitation service for a general hospital, were particularly interested in these aspects and in thirty-eight of the first 100 patients t...

While long term disturbances in the acid–base balance can disturb the normal growth and development, acute short term, but severe changes in pH, can also be drastic. The body's acid base balance is maintained by different organ systems, including the lungs and the kidneys, along with the intracellular and extracellular buffer systems. A human body’s normal pH ranges from 7.35-7.45. pH and hydro...

The body’s ability to maintain acid-base homeostasis is based on a complex set of interactions between the respiratory and metabolic systems. This article reviews normal acid-base physiology and examines disorders of acid-base imbalances, first within a primary metabolic cause and then within a primary respiratory cause. Covering the complex nuances of acid-base control within a limited-scope r...

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of serum electrolytes and arterial blood gases as a secondary insult in patients with severe closed traumatic brain injury and to estimate its impact on patients' outcome. Materials and Methods: 80 patients with severe closed traumatic brain injury were admitted to neurosurgical intensive care unit between November 2013 and November 2014...

A DISCUSSION OF THE HEMODYNAMICS of any circulation, and that of the pulmonary circulation in particular, must be concerned with three factors: (1) the flow through the circulation, which in the case of the lung is also the cardiac output; (2) the resistance to flow through the vas-cular bed, which is primarily a function of the number and diameter of resistance vessels , and to a lesser degree...

introduction: sleep disorders can influence either directly or indirectly, on the family, colleagues and finally the community. in the realm of children, the most serious complications of sleep is anxiety and behavioral problems that make them prone to academic failure, family tensions and psychosocial – social trauma. concerning the significance, outbreak of sleep disorders and its complicatio...

sleep disturbance, known as insomnia, is a common symptom of many mental illnesses. insomnia is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders characterized by sleep difficulty that affects our life and work safety. several lines of evidence support the primary insomnia as a risk factor/predictor for depression and anxiety disturbances. anxiety disorders and insomnia are common, debilitating and hig...

The cellular distribution of the NH2-terminal electrogenic Na+-HCO3(-) cotransporter (NBCe1) variants NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B has been investigated in rat kidney and submandibular gland (SMG) under physiological conditions and after systemic acid-base perturbations. Moreover, the in vivo data were complemented in vitro by using an immortalized cell line derived from the S1 segment of the proximal t...
