Distribution of halogens between fluid and apatite during fluid-mediated replacement processes

Fluid distribution kinetics during cardiopulmonary bypass

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the isovolumetric distribution kinetics of crystalloid fluid during cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS Ten patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting participated in this prospective observational study. The blood hemoglobin and the serum albumin and sodium concentrations were measured repeatedly during the distribution of priming solut...

Resuscitation--fluid replacement.

Fluid replacement and glucose infusion during exercise prevent cardiovascular drift.

This study examined the influence of both hydration and blood glucose concentration on cardiovascular drift during exercise. We first determined if the prevention of dehydration during exercise by full fluid replacement prevents the decline in stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) during prolonged exercise. On two occasions, 10 endurance-trained subjects cycled an ergometer in a 22 degrees...

Benefits of fluid replacement with carbohydrate during exercise.

Ingestion of approximately 30-60 g of carbohydrate during each hour of exercise will generally be sufficient to maintain blood glucose oxidation late in exercise and delay fatigue. Since the average rates of gastric emptying and intestinal absorption exceed 1,250 ml.h-1 for water and solutions containing up to 8% carbohydrate, exercising people can be supplemented with both carbohydrate and flu...

Calcium apatite crystals in synovial fluid rice bodies.

BACKGROUND Rice bodies can occur in the joints in many rheumatic conditions, but they are most common in rheumatoid arthritis. They are generally believed to occur rarely in patients with osteoarthritis, but one study reported rice bodies with apatite crystals. OBJECTIVE To report on a series of joint fluids with rice bodies containing apatite clumps and examine their clinical pictures. MET...
