Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 is a rare disorder characterized by renal resistance to aldosterone which may present with a salt wasting crisis in infancy. We report a neonate with hyponatremia, severe dehydration and refractory life threatening hyperkalemia who was treated with dietary sodium chloride supplementation, potassium binding resins and fluid replacement therapy which proved to be li...

Voriconazole is a first-line agent for treatment of systemic mycotic infections. However, intravenous use is contraindicated in patients with creatinine clearance <50 ml/minute because of accumulation of the toxic vehicle sulfobutyletherbeta-cyclodextrin sodium [1, 2]. In a recent issue of Critical Care, Kiser and colleagues furnished convincing pharmacological evidence that sulfobutylether-bet...

This study evaluated microscopically the effects of root surface treatment with three different solutions in delayed rat teeth replantation. Central incisors from 30 rats (Rattus norvegicus, albinus Wistar) were extracted and left on a bench for 6 h. The pulps were extirpated and root canals were irrigated with 1% sodium hypochlorite. After endodontic treatment, the root surfaces of all teeth w...

The effect of salting by different salt composition on fatty acid profile studied in hot smoked Black and Caspian Sea sprat, Clupeonella cultriventris. After initial prepare activities, samples were exposed to brining process within two salt concentrations including of 100 % NaCl (treatment 1 or T1) and 75 % NaCl- 25 % KCl (treatment 2 or T2) under 15% brine solution for 3 hrs. The smoking proc...

BACKGROUND Estrogen is cardioprotective of the coronary circulation by mechanisms incompletely understood. This study determined the effect of chronic 17beta-estradiol replacement on dilator responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside of the isolated coronary microcirculation. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult female guinea pigs were ovariectomized, and a 21-day-release pellet containing 0.0,...

Background—Estrogen is cardioprotective of the coronary circulation by mechanisms incompletely understood. This study determined the effect of chronic 17b-estradiol replacement on dilator responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside of the isolated coronary microcirculation. Methods and Results—Adult female guinea pigs were ovariectomized, and a 21-day-release pellet containing 0.0, 0.1,...

The present article investigates the potential of co-calcination with kaolinite as a sector-wide solution for transformation bauxite residue into an effective supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Bauxite residues from eight alumina refineries were co-calcined 30 wt% at 750°C. SCMs moderately high reactivities obtained. Mortars replacement Portland cement (CEM I) by had relative strengths ...

Metabolic acidosis occurs when a relative accumulation of plasma anions in excess of cations reduces plasma pH. Replacement of sodium bicarbonate to patients with sodium bicarbonate loss due to diarrhea or renal proximal tubular acidosis is useful, but there is no definite evidence that sodium bicarbonate administration to patients with acute metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis,...

Whole gut perfusion in humans was used to compare the effect on intestinal water and electrolyte transport of the World Health Organisation oral rehydration solution (solution II, composition in mmol/l: glucose 111, sodium 90, bicarbonate 30, potassium 20; 308 mOsm/kg); a hypertonic commercial oral rehydration solution (solution III, glucose 188, sodium 50, bicarbonate 20, potassium 20 mmol/l; ...
