It is well known that imbalances in the dietary electrolytes are associated with a significantly higher incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). On the other hand, a prolonged heart rate corrected-QT (QTc) interval is associated with an increased risk of cardiac autonomic nervous system dysfunction, the incidence of CVD and sudden cardiac death. This study was designed to clarify the associat...

The safety of bowel-cleansing agents is an important issue in clinical practice, especially in patients with chronic diseases. Although the safety and efficacy of polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been investigated in many studies, few studies on PEG plus ascorbic acid exist. In this study, we compared the safety of 2 bowel-cleansing agents for patients with liver cirrhosis: 2-liter PEG (2 L PEG) p...

Liquid carbonate-based electrolytes are widely used in lithium ion batteries today. Dry polymer electrolytes are potential candidates for use in secondary lithium batteries because of ease of fabrication, good electrochemical stability, low flammability and toxicity with the ability to form good interfacial contact with electrodes. Conductivity and mechanical properties of dry electrolytes, how...

background pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) is one of the common diseases with high prevalence of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. various complications have been reported along with ptb. the subclinical electrolyte imbalances are customary in cases with ptb. objectives the aim of this study was the evaluation of patients with ptb and hyponatremia. patients and methods we evaluated ...

I t has been suggested that potassium may enter Valonia chiefly as KOH which reacts with an organic acid HA in the sap to form KA, after which A is exchanged for chloride so that potassium accumulates as'KC1. This is not contradicted by any known facts and it is supported by a variety of evidence; inasmuch as this has recently been discussed I it need not be cited here. Other cations may act si...

Obtaining and interpreting blood gases and electrolytes is fundamental to the management of many critically ill veterinary patients. Metabolic and electrolyte alterations are common, and can lead to profound clinical signs affecting many organs (including the heart, skeletal muscle, intestines and the lungs); when severe, death can ensue. This is the second of two articles describing the interp...

To summarize the maintenance of homeostasis in our body terms signal transduction, there are two major axes: autonomic nervous system and hormones. The system, one peripheral nerves, secretes neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine acetylcholine to affect target organs quickly efficiently. Hormones can be viewed signals that trigger larger changes DNA level after they secreted into blood reach...

The term “imbalances” is often used to describe situations in which some economic units accumulate large volumes of liabilities. The economic units could be within domestic sectors (household, business, and government sectors)—in which case we refer to them as domestic imbalances—or different countries—in which case we refer to them as global imbalances. An example of domestic imbalance is the ...

background: electrolytes play an important role in the normal functioning of human body. electrolyte imbalance and mineral disturbances is the common clinical manifestation in several infectious diseases including malaria. malaria is a mosquito borne serious infectious disease of the world. plasmodium vivax and p. falciparum are the main agents responsible for malaria in pakistan. electrolyte i...
