Adrenal and vascular responsiveness to graded doses of angiotensin II (A II) were recorded for seven normal subjects and 12 patients with essential hypertension while in balance on an intake of 200 mEq sodium/100 mEq potassium. Patients with essential hypertension had been previously studied and known to have normal responses of plasma renin activity to sodium restriction and upright posture. A...

BACKGROUND Following WHO recommendations, Morocco adopted in 1995 the universal salt iodization (USI) as a strategy to prevent and control iodine deficiency disorders. In 2009, the standard salt iodine concentration was adjusted to 15-40 mg/kg. The success of USI for the control of iodine deficiency disorders requires an evaluation of iodine concentration in salt prior to assessing the iodine n...

A 20-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital from the emergency department because of nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. She had no notable medical history and was taking no medications. During the previous 4 months, she had experienced intermittent nausea, vomiting, and increasing fatigue. Her symptoms had worsened during the 3 weeks before presentation, and she had sought treatment at an ...

The balance of dietary monovalent electrolytes has been reported to affect many performance-related parameters. When the balance is expressed as Na+K-Cl value in meq per kg of diet, growth rate, eggshell quality, calcification of bone (re: tibia1 dyschondroplasia) and the utilization of arginine in the presence of excess lysine in.poultry is favored by a balance of 200-300 meq per kg of diet. I...

Objective. The objective of this study was to find out the possible antiulcer mechanism of action of Eremomastax speciosa. Method. Carbachol- and histamine-induced hypersecretion, associated with the pylorus ligation technique, were used in rats. Gastric mucosal ulceration, mucus production, pH, gastric volume, and acidity were measured. Results. Histamine and carbachol raised gastric acidity t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Considering the possibility of increased renal toxicity induced by streptomycin in tea and coffee, which contain methylxanthines such as caffeine, we aimed to investigate the histopathological changes in the kidney and liver of rats. We also evaluated some serum parameters after the concurrent use of streptomycin and caffeine. METHODS: This experimental study was perfo...

To study the ionic basis of salt sensitivity in hypertension, Tl_-, 31p-, and 'Na-nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to measure cytosolic free calcium (Ca1), pH (pH,), free magnesium (Mg1), and sodium (Na4) in erythrocytes of essential hypertensive subjects (n = 19). Individuals were studied for 2 mo each on low(UNaV < 50 meq/d) and high(UNaV > 200 meq/d) salt diets, with the conco...

BACKGROUND Novel 2009 influenza A(H1N1) infection has significantly affected ICUs. We sought to characterize our region's clinical findings and demographic associations with ICU admission due to novel A(H1N1). METHODS We conducted an observational study from May 19, 2009, to June 30, 2009, of descriptive clinical course, inpatient mortality, financial data, and demographic characteristics of ...
