introduction:balance impairments are one of the important complications in subjects with functional ankle instability (fai) that has been reported to be associatedwithjoint mechanoreceptorinjuries. textured insole effecting on plantar cutaneous of the feet, may improve postural control and reduce the risk of injury in subjects with fai.the aim of this study therefore was to investigate the effe...

Acid generation and elimination processes were compared with total base (bicarbonate plus metabolizable anions) turnover in 18 anuric patients undergoing post-dilutional haemofiltration. The study was conducted during the second haemodialysis session of the week by means of a whole-body base balance technique. The results showed that the mean rates of base loss and base gain during dialysis did...

Previous to the conception of hydrogen ion concentration as an index of acidity or alkalinity, only hazy notions existed as to the reaction of the body fluids. Soon after the acid-base balance was more fully comprehended, it became a prevalent idea that the reaction of the blood and tissues was maintained within exceedingly close limits and that any appreciable variation would be incompatible w...

1. Should Brfinsted-Lowry's acid-base definitions be adopted or should the term acid-base balance be synonymous with the term electrolyte balance? 2. Are the relevant parameters pH, Pcoz and actual bicarbonate, or is it preferable to have a more direct measure for the accumulation of nonvolatile acid or base than the bicarbonate value, such as, for instance, standard bicarbonate, buffer base, o...

Under the usual circumstance of ingestion of an acid ash diet the normal individual is faced with a deficit of available base. Those stores of circulating bicarbonate which enter the glomerular filtrate along with other crystalloids of the plasma are carefully conserved; only minute amounts are lost in the urine. But when an alkaline ash diet is ingested or sodium bicarbonate is administered, s...

ACID-BASE DERANGEMENTS are frequently encountered in surgical patients, preoperatively, during the surgical procedure, and postoperatively. For some time surgeons and anaesthetists have concerned themselves with the control of these changes, and more recently the postoperative period has come under close scrutiny as regards acidosis and decreased arterial saturation. 1,~ The advent of open-hear...

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 objectives of this research were to evaluate the effects of thermal panting in domestic turkeys on arterial blood values for the acid-base variables, pH(a), bicarbonate concentration ([HCO(-) (3)](a)), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P(a)CO(2)), and hemoglobin concentration [Hb]. In addition, body temperature and partial pressure of oxygen (P(a)O(2)) were measured to determine the effec...
