A general formalism for calculating parameters describing physiological acid-base balance in single compartments is extended to multicompartment systems and demonstrated for the multicompartment example of human whole blood. Expressions for total titratable base, strong ion difference, change in total titratable base, change in strong ion difference, and change in Van Slyke standard bicarbonate...

Inadvertently, the Fig. 1 was published incorrectly in the original publication. The correct Fig. 1 is given in the following page. The original article has been updated accordingly.

We have synthesised an inverse opal hydrogel functionalised with a thiourea moiety as an anion recognition site. The resulting hydrogel showed remarkable changes of its structural colour with respect to acetate and bicarbonate ions selectively in aqueous solution, indicating a potential as colorimetric sensing materials for hydrophilic anions.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute metabolic healthcare crisis in patients with diabetes mellitus. The current study aimed to compare the effectiveness of rapid-acting insulin analog administered subcutaneously regular infused intravenously among DKA patients. Methodology: In this prospective open labelled study, 100 consecutive were randomly assigned two groups. Group 1 admit...

This study was contemplated to determine the comparative beneficial effects of hypertonic saline solution and sterile saline solution in induced endotoxic shock in dogs. For this purpose, 12 healthy Mongrel dogs were randomly divided into two equal groups (A and B). All the animals were induced endotoxaemia by slow intravenous administration of Escherichia coli endotoxins 0111:B4. Group A was t...

BACKGROUND In high-risk bleeding conditions conventional systemic anticoagulation with heparin is a contraindication to renal replacement therapy. We evaluate the feasibility and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation in high-risk bleeding conditions during coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA). METHODS Thirteen critically ill patients (9 severely burned, 4 polytraumas) with septic ...

BACKGROUND Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a generalized transport defect in the proximal renal tubule leading to renal losses of phosphate, calcium, uric acid, bicarbonates as well as glucose, amino acids and other organic compounds. It is caused by inherited or acquired disorders including low mass or high mass multiple myeloma. OBJECTIVES To report the first case series of patients with lymphoma ...
