Oral salt supplements to compensate for jejunostomy losses: comparison of sodium chloride capsules, glucose electrolyte solution, and glucose polymer electrolyte solution.

Oral salt supplements to compensate for jejunostomy losses: comparison of sodium chloride capsules, glucose electrolyte solution, and glucose polymer electrolyte solution.

Six patients with jejunostomies and residual jejunal lengths of 105 to 250 cm took the same food and water each day for eight study days. In random order, three methods of salt replacement were tested, each over 48 hours, against a period without added salt. During the three test periods the patients took 120 mmol of sodium chloride daily, as salt in gelatine capsules, as an isotonic glucose el...

Is oral rice electrolyte solution superior to glucose electrolyte solution in infantile diarrhoea?

Oral rehydration in acute infantile diarrhoea with a glucose-polymer electrolyte solution.

Seven infants with mild acute diarrhoeal dehydration were rehydrated with an oral sugar-electrolyte solution containing a glucose polymer mixture. Six of them were rehydrated successfully. The high sodium content of the solution (90 mmol/l) was based on the WHO/UNICEF recommended glucose-electrolyte solution and was implicated as the cause of increases in serum sodium in 4 infants, one of whom ...

Does pH of tyrode solution modify glucose and electrolyte jejunal absorption in rats?

Studies have shown that glucose is able to decrease the pH of the surface epithelium jejunal preparations when added in vitro and the existence of a high concentration of protons in the immediate area of the mucosa could be of considerable significance for absorption of electrolytes. The aim of this study is to assess whether the change in pH of Tyrode (solution used for perfusion of the jejunu...

Transport Processes in Electrolyte Solution

(40) Where zi is the charge number of species i in the solution. Mass transfer arises either from the differences in electrical or chemical potential or from the movement of a volume element of the solution. It can occur due to: • Migration which is the movement of a charged body due to an electric field, i.e., an electrical potential gradient. The flux density of a species i in the solution du...
