This study examined the effects of increasing energy availability from both dextrose and lipid treatments on the pro-inflammatory response to LPS in Holstein steers. Steers were randomly assigned to one of three groups: saline at 0.5 ml/kg body weight (Control) or 50% dextrose [0.5 ml/kg body weight (Dextrose) to mimic calm cattle's response to LPS] administered immediately prior to LPS (0.5 µg...

Deep nerve hydrodissection uses fluid injection under pressure to purposely separate nerves from areas of suspected fascial compression, which are increasingly viewed as potential perpetuating factors in recalcitrant neuropathic pain/complex regional pain. The usage of 5% dextrose water (D5W) as a primary injectate for hydrodissection, with or without low dose anesthetic, could limit anesthetic...

H., these PROCEEDINGS, 30, 397-403 (1944). 2 The asparagine medium consisted of: I-asparagine 0.2 per cent, dextrose 0.4, per cent, Na2HPO4 (anhydrous) 0.6 per cent, KH2P04 0.3 per cent, MgSO4 0.005 per cent, NaCl 0.005 per cent, glass distilled water. a The ammonium medium consisted of: NH4Cl 0.1 per cent, dextro...

Gadboys, Slonim, and Litwak (1962) reported what is now known as the homologous blood syndrome, which stimulated work on a substitute for blood in open-heart surgery, especially for the priming of the heart-lung machine. The homologous blood syndrome was noted in experimental animals and consisted of hypotension on commencing cardiopulmonary bypass, with early thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, sequ...

Cardiff EDITORIAL COMMENT This study continues the work described in the previous paper and brings out another common factor concerning electrolyte transport. The action of the adrenal mineralocorticoids upon the intestinal mucosa closely resembles their effect upon the renal tubular epithelium (Shields, 1964). Thus, in both organs, the transfer of potassium into the lumen is stimulated by the ...

When the pancreas of a dog is perfused aseptically with a Locke's solution containing dextrose in physiological concentrations, the optical rotation of the perfusate is diminished, but its reducing power is unaltered. This change also occurs if dextrose is added to a sugarfree pancreatic perfusate and the mixture incubated. These perfusates yield osazones with lower melting points than glucosaz...

In a previous communication (I) it was reported that after intravenous injections of large amounts of dextrose into normal rabbits the intestine contained on the average 1.2 per cent. of the injected dextrose, while through the kidneys about 4o per cent. of the injected dextrose was eliminated. In rabbits whose kidneys were removed previous to the injection of the dextrose, and in which, theref...

BACKGROUND A shortage of the standard medication for treatment of patent ductus arteriosus has necessitated use of parenteral ibuprofen, which is equally efficacious for this indication. The beyond-use date recommended by the manufacturer is very short and has implications for resource allocation and wastage. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stability of ibuprofen (undiluted or diluted in either 0.9...

BACKGROUND Abnormalities of endothelial cell function are proposed to be a critical factor underlying adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the setting of hyperglycaemia. While high-density lipoproteins (HDL) have been demonstrated to be cardioprotective, the impact on the endothelium in hyperglycaemia has not been fully elucidated. METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were ex...
