Nov 20th, 2022 - Development of the capacity to mitigate potential disturbances to blood physiology in bird embryos is incompletely understood. We investigated regulation of acid-base and hematology in day 15 chicken embryos exposed to graded intrinsic hypercapnic...

Nov 14th, 2022 - Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) is a common source of dyspnea and disability. While pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) including breathing exercises is indicated, randomized controlled trial are warranted to recommend one type of breathing exercise tha...

Nov 9th, 2022 - Eating disorders lead to increased mortality and reduced quality of life. While the acute presentations of eating disorders frequently involve electrolyte abnormalities, it remains unknown whether electrolyte abnormalities may precede the future d...

Nov 5th, 2022 - Apparent mineralocorticoid excess is an autosomal recessive form of monogenic disease characterized by juvenile resistant low-renin hypertension, marked hypokalemic alkalosis, low aldosterone levels, and high ratios of cortisol to cortisone metabo...

Nov 4th, 2022 - Patients with cirrhosis are prone to electrolyte disorders, including hypokalaemia. The available evidence suggests that hypokalaemia facilitates hyperammonaemia and thus increases the risk for hepatic encephalopathy (HE). In case studies, plasma ...

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...

Aug 8th, 2022 - Within four weeks of consent, subjects will have an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) (Medtronic LINQ) device implanted. Subjects will be given a transmitter/charger and a Patient Care Assistant which they will be required to keep for the duration o...

May 13th, 2022 - Arterial blood gas testing is considered one of the most important and widely used test in the detection of acidosis, alkalosis, electrolytes disturbance and tissue perfusion. in regard to tissue perfusion serum lactate above 4 mmol/L indicates po...

May 4th, 2022 - Metabolic alkalosis (MA) is the most common acid-base disorder and when it's severe it can have effects on cellular function and contribute to an increase in mortality. MA is a common complication of heart failure (HF) especially when patients are...

Feb 11th, 2022 - We hypothesize that secretin release and/or response is aberrant in restrictive anorexics. This results in water and salt wasting and/or metabolic alkalosis in many restrictive anorexics during refeeding. We will thus characterize secretin levels ...

Jan 11th, 2022 - The postoperative delirium picture is a serious and common complication seen after any major surgery, including hepatic resection. Delirium is an acute state of confusion characterized by impaired consciousness, reduced ability to focus on attenti...

Nov 15th, 2022 - Electrolyte abnormalities may serve as a precursor to a future eating disorder diagnosis, a finding that may help pinpoint candidates for screening. Researchers found that adolescents and adults with electrolyte abnormalities on routine outpatient...

Apr 9th, 2021 - Metabolic alkalosis, a disorder that causes elevations in serum bicarbonate and arterial pH, is a common metabolic abnormality found in nearly half of hospitalized patients but is rare in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysi.

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 24th, 2019 - Once a TCA overdose is suspected (or confirmed), treatment should begin immediately. Supportive care, such as ensuring a protected airway, administration of IV fluids, and prevention of vomiting, should begin promptly for all patients. If no contr...
