Spurious electrolyte disorders refer to an artifactually elevated or decreased serum electrolyte values that do not correspond to their actual systemic levels. When a clinician is confronted with a case of electrolyte disturbance, the first question should be whether it is an artifact. Spurious electrolyte disorders (pseudohyponatremia, pseudohypernatremia, pseudohypokalemia, pseudohyperkalemia...

Article history: Received 7 December 2013 Accepted 29 January 2014 Available online 6 February 2014 The electrical conduction and dielectric (capacitive) properties of electrolyte-filled carbon paste electrochemical electrodes are reported, with the carbon, electrolyte (15% H2SO4), carbon–electrolyte interface and carbon–contact(metal) interface contributions fully decoupled for the first time....

BACKGROUND Implementation of electrolyte repletion protocols to facilitate and ensure the safety of electrolyte control is common practice in intensive care units (ICUs). However, few protocols have been evaluated and validated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an electrolyte repletion protocol in a large, homogeneous group of postoperative patients. METHODS A retrospec...

OBJECTIVE To ascertain the frequency of electrolyte abnormalities in patients of probable and culture-proven sepsis on admission and assess any association of electrolyte disorders with mortality. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY NICU, Fazle-Omar Hospital, Rabwah, from October 2015 to September 2016. METHODOLOGY All neonates with the diagnosis of probable and cu...

Battery degradation, which is the reduction of performance over time, one main roadblocks to wide deployment lithium-ion batteries. Physics-based models, such as those based on Doyle-Fuller-Newman model, are invaluable tools understand and predict phenomena. However, these models often too complex for practical applications, so reduced needed. In this article we introduce Single Particle Model ...
