Background: Disorders of acid-base involve the complex interplay of many organ systems including brain, lungs, kidney, and liver. Compensations for acid-base disturbances within the brain are more complete, while limitations of compensations are more apparent for most systemic disorders. However, some of the limitations on compensations are necessary to survival, in that preservation of oxygena...

Objective: To review the normal human acid-base physiology and the pathophysiology and management of acid-base disturbances in a two-part presentation. Data sources: Articles and published peer-review abstracts and a review of studies reported from 1990 to 2000 and identified through a MEDLINE search of the English language literature on acid-base balance. Summary of review: In a healthy indivi...

THE outstanding acid-base change associated with extracorporeal circulation in cardiac surgery has been demonstrated to be metabolic acidosis, which has been variously reported to occur during perfusion or in the postoperative period.1 4 Since thoracic operations other than cardiac are known to produce marked changes in acid-base balance,5-7 intensive serial study of patients during openheart s...

Acid-base physiology is among the most complex topics in clinical medicine. Disturbances of this system are common in the critically ill, and important clinical decisions based on measured acid-base parameters occur on a daily, even hourly basis. Therefore, a sound understanding of acid-base physiology is mandatory for the intensivist. The field is full of complicated concepts and equations tha...

results each group comprised 27 students; eventually, 26 in the homeopathic and 21 in the placebo group were followed up. there was no significant difference between the groups for either pain intensity (adjusted difference: -0.44; 95% ci: -1.43 to 0.54) or any other outcomes. compared with the baseline scores, statistically significant improvements were observed in pain intensity (p = 0.021) a...

background suicidal attempt and non-suicidal self-injury are very common in adolescents with a history of childhood maltreatment. by identifying correlates of these kinds of high-risk behaviors, it is possible to prevent and decrease completed suicide. objectives the aims of this study were: 1) to compare adolescents with a history of childhood maltreatment with non-suicidal self injury (nssi) ...
