BACKGROUND Optimising the fluid resuscitation of patients with severe malaria is a simple and potentially cost-effective intervention. Current WHO guidelines recommend central venous pressure (CVP) guided, crystalloid based, resuscitation in adults. METHODS Prospectively collected haemodynamic data from intervention trials in Vietnamese adults with severe malaria were analysed retrospectively...

In response to clinical demand some point-of-care analysers now provide blood lactate measurements, but recently concern has been expressed about the value and interpretation of these measurements. We undertook this study to evaluate blood lactate measurements in patients with acute renal failure undergoing haemofiltration (HF) with lactate replacement fluid. At baseline, 27 patients had base d...

Arterialized venous blood was used to investigate maternal acid-base state during the first and second stages of normal labour. During labour the range of values obtained for acid-base variables is wide but patterns are discernible. At the beginning of labour Pco, was lower than it is in non-pregnant subjects, and the pH was higher despite a substantial base deficit. At the end of the first sta...

Children with ADHD typically experience significant impairment at home and school, and their relationships with parents, teachers, and peers often are strained. Psychosocial interventions for ADHD generally focus on behavior change in one environment at a time (i.e., either home or school); however, unisystemic interventions generally are not sufficient. The purpose of this article is to descri...

BACKGROUND The recognition, follow-up, and early treatment of neonatal jaundice has become more difficult, since the earlier discharge of newborns from hospitals has become common practice. Since intrapartum hypoxic stress has been pointed as predisposing factor for the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia risk, we tested the association with the cord blood acid-base index tests. METHODS A cohort...

Water deficit is one of the most important difficulties, in which happes in dry zone and half dry zones.Water deficit, as the determinative factor, determinates the growing and extension of the plant cover inthese areas. Using the supper attractive, may reduce the production in the crops and control the plantcover in face of dry stress and water deficit. In this paper, the effect of supper attr...
