Urine Drainage Bag (UDB) has been frequently acknowledged by patients who are suffering from urine incontinence, urinary retention, tract infections, and urological surgeries in which a patient is impotent to out-migration. In ICUs, physiological parameters of measured monitoring devices. These devices can also supervise whether the values lie within pre-established range set clinician. Just li...

Tolvaptan, a vasopressin type-2 receptor antagonist, is utilized to ameliorate fluid retention following cardiac surgery. However, the optimal timing of tolvaptan administration considering novel biomarkers remains unknown. We prospectively included patients who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2020. measured perioperative trends free water reabsorption mediators including plasma arginine uri...

Continuous 24-hr urine collections were made by 17 subjects during a trek to 5400 m. Fluid intake was recorded by diary. Weight and fat folds were measured daily. The results were compared with daily measurements of packed cell volume (PCV) and reticulocyte count. Early fluid retention was matched by a fall in PCV. There was a diuresis with negative fluid balance towards the end of the ascent a...

In the course of evaluating urinary 17-ketosteroid (17-KS) gas-liquid chromatographic patterns, a number of peaks with retention times shorter than that of 17-KS were constantly observed. This backgroundmaterial was found to be degradation products of 17-KS produced by HCI hydrolysis. A study with pure 17-KS as a mixture and as individual steroids was used to identify the steroids responsible f...

Futcher and Schroeder (1) and Warren and Stead (2) suggested that changes in endocrine activity might be present in congestive heart failure and might explain some of the symptoms such as edema and sodium retention. Merrill, Morrison, and Brannon (3) found an increased concentration of renin in the renal venous blood. No other reports of endocrine changes in congestive heart failure appear in t...

An in-capillary sample preconcentration strategy based on solid phase extraction (SPE) technology coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been developed taking advantage of both techniques (SPE and CE). An in-line frit-free preconcentration device for capillary electrophoresis containing MCX beads, obtained from the corresponding Waters OASIS cartridges, was prepared. The retention of t...

We presented a case of a 13-year-old girl who attended the emergency department with acute urinary retention and 1400 mL residual urine after catheterisation. She had no significant medical history, neurological examination was normal and she had not reached menarche. She was found to have a haematocolpos on ultrasound scan which was compressing the urinary bladder. Examination under anaesthesi...
