The measure serum electrolytes will be useful predicting further seizures. This study aimed to investigate effect relative on risk recurrent Methods: prospective was performed 115 children (6-60 months) ...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes in China is increasing rapidly. However, scarce data are available on serum electrolyte levels in Chinese adults with diabetes, especially in those with cardiovascular complications.

Introduction: Polyuria and hypernatremia are common problems during the pretransplant care of brain-dead donors. They have not only important role in hemodynamic stability, but also may influence organ transplantation outcomes. The influence of donor hypernatremia in liver transplantation was reported.

migraine is one of the common varieties of headache. it involves 4 to 6 percent of men and 13 to 16 percent of women under 30 years in more than 80% of cases. some studies have shown that in 50% of patients serum magnesium level decreases during attacks of headache and using magnesium tablets and intravenous magnesium sulfate is more effective for treatment of migraine attack, than placebo. thi...

Effects of sodium selenite (SS) in offspring of broiler breeders has been reported, but the comparison between SS and different level of methionine on offspring has received limited, so this study was conducted to investigate sodium selenite and methionine effects on concentration of selenium in egg and serum of Iranian native broiler breeders.

The combination of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and a thiazide diuretic (hereafter, ARB/diuretic) is expected to improve patient adherence and increase the therapeutic effects because of the lower number of pills that require to be administered. In addition, an ARB/diuretic combination alleviates hypokalemia that frequently develops in patients receiving thiazide diuretics. In this study...

BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality among patients hospitalized with heart failure and it is a marker for increased short-term and long-term mortality. However, little is known about the time course of hyponatremia and whether changes in serum sodium levels affect clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n=322) hospitalized with decompensated heart failure and ...
