Jul 28th, 2021 - Cystinosis is a multisystem disorder with varied presentations secondary to deposition of cystine crystals in different organ systems. Children with cystinosis typically present with renal tubular acidosis and failure to thrive. We report a 3-year...

Jul 14th, 2021 - We tested the hypothesis that increasing the respiratory control systems' arterial PCO2 equilibrium point via induced acute metabolic alkalosis by ingestion of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, 0.3 g/kg) would decrease the ventilatory equivalent for CO2...

Jun 12th, 2021 - Acid-base derangement has been poorly described in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Considering the high prevalence of pneumonia and kidneys injury in COVID-19, frequent acid-base alterations are expected in patients admitted wit...

Jun 10th, 2021 - We investigated the influence of arterial P C O 2 ( P aC O 2 ) with and without acute experimental metabolic alkalosis on neurovascular coupling (NVC). We assessed stepwise iso-oxic alterations in P aC O 2 prior to and following intravenous NaHCO3...

Jun 5th, 2021 - The main symptoms of congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) main symptoms are watery diarrhea, hypochloremia, and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a heterogeneous imprinting disorder characterized by severe intrauterin...

Jan 30th, 2021 - Bartter syndrome is a rare inherited salt-losing renal tubular disorder characterized by secondary hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemic and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis and low to normal blood pressure. The primary pathogenic mechanism is defe...

May 9th, 2019 - Objective: To determine the effects of angiotensin-II, type-I receptor (AT1R) blockade on the relationship between ventilatory control and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) following a night of hypoxic sleep in healthy humans. Justification: Ventil...

Apr 17th, 2018 - The reduction in plasma PCO2 correlates with gestational age and was shown to be associated to plasma progesterone concentrations. We hypothesize that pregnancy-related haemodilution, inducing a reduction in CSF Strong Ion Difference (SID), might ...

Jan 29th, 2018 - Increased core temperature (hyperthermia) has been associated with impaired neuromuscular performance; however, the mechanisms associated with these performance decrements and their potential synergies remain unclear. While the majority of researc...

Oct 24th, 2017 - Primary objective: to analyze the effect of citrate dialysate on acid base balance decreasing chronic metabolic acidosis and avoiding / reducing post-dialytic alkalosis. Secondary objectives: Evaluate the effect of dialysate on the variation of ca...

Oct 20th, 2017 - The primary objective of this research is to assess the utility of permissive hypercarbia (PH) in the weaning of patients with risk factors for difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation. This pilot study seeks to validate the concept that PH w...

Oct 27th, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A large randomized controlled trial supports the use of regional citrate over heparin anticoagulation to help prevent blood clot formation at the filter in patients receiving continuous dialysis therapies. Dialysis filt...

May 1st, 2019 - A 72-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with progressive nausea and vomiting. One week earlier, she developed early satiety and nausea with vomiting after eating solid food.

Jun 28th, 2018 - (Reuters) - A federal jury in Colorado has awarded $383.5 million to the families of three patients who said they suffered cardiac arrests and died soon after receiving dialysis treatments at clinics run by DaVita Inc. FILE PHOTO: The outdoor sign...

Apr 23rd, 2018 - Typically, patients present a few days after the onset of a viral respiratory illness, following exposure to a potent allergen or irritant, or after exercise in a cold environment. Frequently, patients have underused or have been underprescribed a...

Apr 23rd, 2018 - Status asthmaticus is an acute exacerbation of asthma that remains unresponsive to initial treatment with bronchodilators. Status asthmaticus can vary from a mild form to a severe form with bronchospasm, airway inflammation, and mucus plugging tha...
