Furosemide was administered to anesthetized dogs in priming doses of 0.1, 0.5, or 2.5 mg/kg followed by the same amounts per hour as infusion. When sodium and water balances were maintained constant by the continuous replacement of urinary losses with isotonic saline, the renal venous renin activity (and renin release) was not altered by the 0.1 mg/kg dose but was significantly increased by the...

today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. there is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. the less the number of replacements is, the less...

The present study focused on developing Alkali Activated Fine Aggregate (AAFA) by palletization method. AAFA was manufactured using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and alkali activator solution at ambient conditions. Sodium hydroxide of six molarity sodium silicate to ratio 2.5 used. AACA's properties are similar Natural except for flakiness elongation index. water absorption Abrasi...

The impact of calcium hydroxide as an additive in sodium hydroxide- and silicate-activated metakaolin pastes is presented with a primary aim to ascertain the specific effects on reaction kinetics phase formation. FTIR XRD are employed understand interaction (10 wt% replacement metakaolin) 1, 5 10 M NaOH-activated (and equivalent molarity Na2SiO3-activated pastes), focus its nanoscale properties...

The unidirectional sodium, uptake at the outer surface of the frog skin was measured by the method described by Biber and Curran (8). With bathing solutions containing 6 mM NaCl there is a good correlation between sodium uptake and short-circuit current (SCC) measured simultaneously except that the average uptake is about 40% higher than the average SCC. The discrepancy between uptake and SCC i...

Chronic overconsumption of sodium has led to its designation as a nutrient public health concern. While the current adequate intake (AI) is set at 1.5 g per day, average daily for Americans ages one and up currently above 3.5 g, leading an increased risk conditions such hypertension cardiovascular disease (CVD). Due prevalence bread consumption moderately high content that accompanies it, becom...

Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency usually show pronounced impairment of aldosterone secretion and, therefore, require also mineralocorticoid replacement for full recovery. Clinical signs of mineralocorticoid deficiency comprise hypotension, weakness, salt craving and electrolyte disturbances (hyperkalemia, hyponatremia). Mineralocorticoid deficiency is confirmed by demonstration of pr...
