Many investigators (1-11) have shown that changes occur in the concentration of serum electrolytes during suprarenal insufficiency. There is evidence that these changes are due to shifts of such ions within the body fluids, and some workers (2, 3) have suggested that the kidney may be one of the sites of action of the suprarenal cortical hormone regulating serum electrolytes. Animals with diabe...

It was found that inoculation of several strains of mice with several types of tumor cells resulted, within 24 hr, in a significant decrease in the serum leucogenenol levels of the mice. Serum leucogenenol levels of the mice inoculated with tumors that are rejected become normal or temporarily above normal at approximately the time the tumor is observed to be rejected. Contrariwise, serum leuco...

Optical techniques may potentially be used for noninvasive glucose sensing. We investigated the application of phase-sensitive optical low-coherence reflectometry (PS-OLCR) to the measurement of analyte concentrations. The dependence of the PS-OLCR signal on the concentration of various analytes, including aqueous solutions of glucose, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, pota...

Silver sulfadiazine cream has been a standard treatment for burns over the past two decades. Although many studies have described the phenomenon of silver absorption from burn wounds treated with silver sulfadiazine, they failed to examine the chemistry underlying the absorption process: Silver chloride was assumed to form at the burn wound and absorption of silver was believed to be negligible...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of sex and age on serum biochemistry parameters of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo ). Forty healthy turkeys of three different age groups (4-8weeks old, 12-20weeks old and adults) were used. Statistical comparisons were made for differences in values between male and females and among different ages. Female turkeys had significantly (p<0.05) higher ...

In a former paper (1) it was shown that certain biological materials cannot be analyzed for chloride with satisfactory results by the use of the direct open Carius method as applied by either Van Slyke (2) or by Wilson and Ball (3) for the analysis of chloride in blood or serum. In the procedure which is here reported a preliminary alkaline digestion is employed before the addition of AgN08 and...

INTRODUCTION Pseudo-Bartter syndrome encompasses a heterogenous group of disorders similar to Bartter syndrome. We are presenting an infant with pseudo-Bartter syndrome caused by congenital chloride diarrhoea. CASE OUTLINE A male newborn born in the 37th gestational week (GW) to young healthy and non-consanguineous parents. In the 35th GW a polyhydramnios with bowel dilatation was verified by...

background: sodium bicarbonate serum therapy is used for compensation bicarbonate lost and increasing blood ph in metabolic acidosis caused by severe anemia in patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency. the aim of present study was comparison the effect of serum therapy using two different serums (serum with bicarbonate and without bicarbonate) on some renal and hematolog...

INTRODUCTION Dyschloremia is common in critically ill patients, although its impact has not been well studied. We investigated the epidemiology of dyschloremia and its associations with the incidence of acute kidney injury and other intensive care unit outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study at Mayo Clinic Hospital-Rochester. All adult patients admit...
