In goose salt gland slices incubated in bicarbonate-buffered medium which contained 170 mEq of Na(+)/liter, net total tissue Na(+), expressed as milliequivalents per kilogram, was, in the presence of either acetylcholine (plus eserine) or ouabain, significantly higher than that of the bathing fluid. Acetylcholine caused an increase in the tissue Na(+) content as compared with untreated slices; ...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the effect of early administration of an empirical (1 mEq/kg) sodium bicarbonate dose on survival from prehospital cardiac arrest within brief (<5 minutes), moderate (5-15 minutes), and prolonged (>15 minutes) down time. METHODS Prospective randomized, double-blinded clinical intervention trial that enrolled 874 prehospital cardiopulmonary arrest patients manage...

acid-binding capacity (abc) of a feed is the amount of acid required to reduce the ph of feed to a special level such as 3. all poultry feed ingredients used in this study were collected from feed mills in iran. the ph and abc were determined using the standard methods in deionized and magnetized water at room and body temperatures. the ph of most feed ingredients was raised in magnetized water...

paste of big head carp fish was prepared based on three formulas and was selected base on organoleptic properties test results. the product was then divided into three portions of: sample 1 (control), sample 2 (containing 0.01% butylated hydroxy anisole bha antioxidant) and sample 3 (containing 0.02% antioxidant bha). to determine the shelf life, the samples were frozen and kept in cold storage...

To test whether a major contribution of airways epithelial ion transport to lung defense reflects the regulation of airway surface liquid (ASL) ionic composition, we measured ASL composition using the filter paper technique. On nasal surfaces, the Cl- concentration (approximately 125 meq/liter) was similar to plasma, but the Na+ concentration (approximately 110 meq/liter) was below plasma, and ...

A 5-day-old girl, born at term after an uncomplicated pregnancy, was admitted to the hospital after a routine midwife check showed that she had lost 15% of her original birth weight [6.2 lb (2.83 kg)]. She was being fed normal-term formula milk, and an initial assessment revealed only mild dehydration. The working diagnosis was a feeding problem, and her management plan was to be fed 150 mL/kg ...
