metabolic alkalosis is characterized by high hco3- as it is seen in chronic respiratory acidosis, but ph differentiates the two disorders. there is no characteristic symptom or sign. orthostatic hypotension may be encountered. weakness and hyporeflexia occur if serum k+ is markerdly low. tetany and neuromuscular irritability occur rarely. we report the results of retrospective data analysis of ...

In the experiment, laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate salt resistance of wheat samples. Different saline environments created in conditions (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% concentration NaCe salt) seed germination soft varieties samples, length seedlings number roots determined. It was noted that Khumo, Taraqqiyot, Emir, Pervitsa, Rhapsody, Zimnitsa, Drujba are resistant strong salinity, samples ...

Antibiotics excreted into the intestinal tract, such as broad-spectrum cephalosporins, disrupt the indigenous microflora, affect colonization resistance (CR), and promote intestinal colonization by resistant bacteria. We tested whether oral DAV131, a charcoal-based adsorbent, would prevent colonization by a cefotaxime (CTX)-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (PUG-2) in CTX-treated mice. Mic...

Background: Wart is a common skin disease, and 8% of patients referred to dermatologists suffer from warts. Objective: To compare the efficacy of intralesional injections of bleomycin with normal saline in treatment of common resistant warts on palms and dorsum of hands. Patients & Methods: This study was a double blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial on 34 patients with common war...

it was shown that permethrin resistance in adult anopheles stephensi is due to at least three separate mechanisms. cytochrome p-450s and esterases are responsible for two-thirds of the 8-fold enhanced tolerance of the dub-apr resistant strain as compared with a sensitive strain, ind-s. it was postulated that target site insensitivity is also involved. to test this hypothesis, we conducted a neu...

Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) has extensively been used for biological applications. Cisplatin is one the most useful antineoplastic chemotherapy drugs for a variety of different human cancers. One of the clinical problems in its application, which would consequently affect the therapeutic outcome of its application, is the occurrence of resistance to this agent. In this proj...

Proton pump inhibitor treatment of clindamycin-treated mice elevated the gastric pH and facilitated the establishment of colonization of the large intestine by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. (75 to 80%, versus 20 to 25% for saline-treated controls) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (90%, versus 30% for saline-treated controls). These findings demonstrate a mechanism by which proton pump inhibit...

Red blood cell Na+ content as well as ouabain-resistant Na+ and Rb+ (K+) transport (susceptible or resistant to inhibition by loop diuretics) were determined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Brown Norway (BN) rats the erythrocytes of which were incubated in either saline or Mg(2+)-sucrose medium. Elevated ouabain-resistant Na+ net uptake contrasted with slightly decreas...
