background: hyponatremia has poor outcomes in other cardiopulmonary disorders, but its predictive value in predicting mortality of patients with acute pulmonary embolism is unknown. so, we evaluate the mortality of inpatients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (pe) who had hyponatremia at the time of admission. materials and methods: by conducting a cohort study in patients with acute pulmonary ...

in this study 71 head of conceiving ewe and their progeny (91 head) from the flock of lori-bakhtiari sheep (360 head), in sholi station were randomly selected to determine the relationship between the immunoglobulin (igg) concentration in the ewe's serum and colostrum, and lamb's serum. ewe blood sample, colostrum of ewe and blood of the lamb was taken 2 weeks before parturition, 1 to 8 hours a...

OBJECTIVE Fluoxetine, a widely used antidepressant, can affect the serum sodium level. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare changes in the serum sodium level of depressive patients taking fluoxetine according to age. METHODS This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 126 patients with depression, dividing the patients into two age groups of 15 to 35 years, and above 55 years,...

conclusions according to the results of this study, as carbamazepine and valproate sodium consumption can result in elevated serum levels of homocysteine and decreased levels of folate and vitamin b12, and the atherogenic effect of increased serum homocysteine level is well established, the patients under these medications should be monitored for possible atherogenic effects. results finally, t...

BACKGROUND Recently, it has been suggested that decrease in serum sodium level is associated with osteoporosis. However, no study in Korea has reported the association of decrease in serum sodium level with osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the decrease in serum sodium level and severity of osteoporotic fracture in patients. METHODS We enrolled 290 subjects...

Both renal function and serum sodium level are well-known prognostic markers in heart failure (HF) patients. We investigated the prognostic value of the renal impairment (RI) stratified by the serum sodium level in systolic HF patients.The Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Relation with Serum Sodium Level in Asian Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure (the COAST) Study enrolled hospita...

BACKGROUND Terlipressin, as a prodrug of vasopressin, has agonistic effects on the V1 receptor and partial agonistic effects on renal vasopressin V2 receptors. However, its effects on serum sodium concentration are controversial. METHODS This study retrospectively investigated 127 patients with liver cirrhosis to examine the incidence and risk factors for the decrease in serum sodium level fo...

Objective: Alterations in serum levels of sodium may lead to cardiac arrhythmia by affecting the membrane potentials of cardiac cells. Previous studies have documented the association between postoperative atrial fibrillation and reduction in serum magnesium level after cardiovascular surgery well. However, there is no study assessing the relationship between serum sodium concentration and atri...
