OBJECTIVE To correlate lactate clearance with Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) mortality. METHODS 45 (mean age 40.15 mo, 60% males) consecutive admissions in the PICU were enrolled between May 2012 to June 2013. Lactate clearance (Lactate level at admission - level 6 hr later x 100 / lactate level at admission) in first 6 hours of hospitalization was correlated to in-hospital mortality an...

kermanshah province is the main producer of various chickpea cultivars in iran. in this study a laboratory peg-tooth thresher was employed for chickpea threshing. the effect of cylinder speed (9, 12, 15 m/s), concave clearance (12, 14, 16 mm), feed rate (80, 160, 240 kg/h) and material moisture content (5, 10, 15% w.b.) was studied on percentage of grain damage, threshing efficiency and percent...

1. The renal clearance of oxalate was studied in six normal subjects and in two patients with primary hyperoxaluria utilizing a constant infusion of [14C]oxalic acid. 2. The [14C]oxalate clearance in normal subjects was between 101 and 217 ml/min with a range in the ratio ofp4C]oxalate clearance to creatinine clearance of 1,33-2,09. 3. The oxalate clearance in two patients with primary hyperoxa...

Objective(s):   Recently, applications of MnO2 nanoparticles and microparticles in industry, pharmacology, and medicine have considerably expanded. Mn distribution and clearance from brain and spinal cord tissue compared with muscle tissue of rats after single subcutaneous injection of nanoparticles and microparticle of MnO2. Pain sensory threshold of rat was evaluated as neurologic consequence...

The article is devoted to the modern problems in performance of customs operations and classification foreign goods imported into Russia. Under sanctions import most important for Russian economy hampered limit. At same time, analysis practice indicates presence many precedents tightening clearance goods, which creates serious obstacles participants economic activity. In this regard, shows acut...

Accordingly, these estimates may include a component of extrahepatic nonrenal clearance. The factors that affect hepatic clearance include blood flow to the liver (Q), the fraction of drug not bound to plasma proteins (fu), and intrinsic clearance (CLint) (1, 2). Intrinsic clearance is simply the clearance that would be observed in the absence of blood flow and protein binding restrictions. As ...

To assess whether patients with anorexia nervosa have abnormalities in creatinine clearance, we measured plasma creatinine concentration, urinary creatinine excretion, and creatinine clearance in 10 patients with anorexia nervosa before and during treatment. Urinary creatinine excretion and creatinine clearance were diminished in all patients. Nine patients had significant decreases in their pl...

The gas–liquid hydrodynamics and mass transfer were studied in a concentric tube internal jet-loop airlift reactor with conical bottom. Comparing standard design, the gas separator was equipped an adjustable deflector placed above riser. effect of riser superficial velocity uSGR on total holdup ?GT, homogenization time tH, overall volumetric liquid-phase coefficient kLa investigated laboratory ...

The effect of temperature on the main feeding parameters of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea was studied in 2002. The clearance rates and daily rations were estimated from laboratory experiments in a wide range of temperatures from 12 to 27 ?C for M. leidyi of 12?17 mm in length. Clearance rate values changed from 52.5 to 107.3 ml ind-1 h-1. The coefficient Q10 in temperature 12 ...
