This study evaluated the effects of sodium chloride reduction and replacement with potassium chloride or modified potassium chloride based salts using a weight or molar equivalent basis on the sensory and physico-chemical properties of pork sausage patties. Three independent replications of pork sausage patties were manufactured to compare five treatments: full sodium, reduced sodium, modified ...

Introduction: Abusing drugs such as morphine continues to be a serious medical and social problem. Defining a habit that increases the devastating effect such as compulsive use and craving is necessary. Methods: This experiment was designed in four groups 1) group-housed (GH) 2) isolation 3) group-housed morphine-treated (GHMT) (4) isolated-housed morphine-treated (IHMT). Rats were received mor...

As scientific understanding of invertebrate life increases, so does the concern for how to end that life in an effective way that minimises (potential) suffering and is also safe for those carrying out the procedure. There is increasing debate on the most appropriate euthanasia methods for invertebrates as their use in experimental research and zoological institutions grows. Their popularity as...

The thermal conductivity of molten sodium chloride and potassium chloride has been computed through equilibrium molecular dynamics Green-Kubo simulations in the microcanonical ensemble (N,V,E). In order to access the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient of these materials, the simulations were performed at five different state points. The form of the microscopic energy...

background: treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (csp) is controversial. the objective of this study was to report our successful experience in the medical treatment of csp with potassium chloride (kcl) and methotrexate. case: this is a case series of six patients between 6-12 gestational weeks with the diagnosis of csp.  in five cases the fetus was alive and in one case, despite being at a ges...

During the spring of 2004, in the Calgary Health Region (CHR) two critical incidents occurred involving patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The outcome of these events resulted in the sudden death of both patients. The Department of Critical Care Medicine's Patient Safety and Adverse Events Team (PSAT), utilized the Healthcare Failure...

The model system propranolol hydrochloride (PROP-HCl)/AmberliteTM was studied in terms of equilibrium concentrations and amount drug bound to the ion exchanger, and compared to the system potassium chloride (KCl)/AmberliteTM. It was found that both the affinity and exchange capacity of AmberliteTM for PROP-H + ions is higher than for K + . Specific heat effects of the exchange reaction measured...

When protoplasm dies it becomes completely and irreversibly permeable and this may be used as a criterion of death. On this basis we may say that when 0.2 M formaldehyde plus 0.001 M NaCl is applied to Nitella death arrives sooner at the inner protoplasmic surface than at the outer. If, however, we apply 0.17 M formaldehyde plus 0.01 M KCl death arrives sooner at the outer protoplasmic surface....
