Buspirone is a potent anxiolytic that decreases serotonin transmission. Changes in electrolyte balance, plasma osmolality and systolic blood pressure are often associated with stress-induced anxiety in rats as well as in human but effects of buspirone on changes in serum electrolytes balance, plasma osmolality and SBP of rats has not been reported. Present study concerns the effects of differen...

BACKGROUND Since the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass, many efforts have been made to avoid the complications related with it. Any component of the pump participates in occurrence of these adverse events, one of which is the type of prime solution. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 with a commonly used balanced electrolyte solution on postoperative...

BACKGROUND Several instruments have been developed to assess psychosocial workload. We compared two of these instruments, the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) with regard to congruent validity and internal validity. METHODS This analysis is based on a population-based sample of the baseline examination of 2,783 employees from the Guten...

Several large well-designed clinical trials have shown that the use of diuretics is beneficial in patients with hypertension. However, similarly robust data regarding their role in chronic heart failure are lacking. Historically, diuretics were developed for treatment of sodium and water retention in oedematous disorders and clinically, they remain the most potent drugs available to relieve sym...

INTRODUCTION A balanced volume replacement strategy is a well established concept for correcting hypovolemia using plasma adapted isotonic crystalloid solutions with a physiological electrolyte pattern and acetate as bicarbonate precursor. Recently, third-generation hydroxyethyl starch (HES) has also become available in a balanced electrolyte solution instead of normal saline. Therefore, in thi...

s modem respiratory intensive care becomes A increasingly well defined as a subspecialty, it is important to critically evaluate the effect of various types of ventilatory support on the patient as a whole. One aspect of the general care of the respiratory patient with which the physician must deal is fluid and electrolyte balance. The original report of Sladen et al,' suggesting that sodium an...

INTRODUCTION Profound metabolic alkalosis is an uncommon consideration for the anesthetic management of kidney transplantation. Serum total carbon dioxide content and complex electrolyte abnormalities might be important diagnostic clues for the presence of metabolic alkalosis in the absence of arterial blood gas analysis. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old female visited Gachon University Gil Me...

When freshwater eels were given either 5 or 15 i.u. calcitonin kg" body weight, there was an increase in dorsal aortic blood pressure as well as a rise in urine volume, glomerular filtration rate and electrolyte excretion rate, 1 h after injection. None of these changes was shown by seawater-adapted eels. When freshwater-adapted eels received 15 i.u. calcitonin kg" body weight there were signif...
