An experiment involving 289 farrowings during a 2-yr period was conducted to determine the effect of increasing dietary nutrient concentration, electrolyte balance, and season of the year on the lactational performance of sows. Experimental diets were corn-soybean meal-based. The basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed the NRC requirements and the high-nutrient diet was formulated to contai...

INTRODUCTION Month of Ramadan bring many changes in life style, especially the diet of Muslims all over the world among both fasting and nonfasting individuals. Hemodialysis patients are kept on restricted diet because of fluid and electrolytes imbalance. The aim of this study was to compare changes in the clinical and biochemical parameters in fasting and nonfasting hemodialysis patients durin...

Electrolyte abnormalities are very common problems in clinical practice, and if chronic, their management can be difficult. Hypokalemia, defined as a serum potassium level <3.5 mmol/L, is an exceptionally common electrolyte abnormality encountered in clinical practice; >20% of hospitalized patients have been reported to have some degree of hypokalemia [1]. Hypomagnesemia is also common and has ...

Electrolyte abnormalities are among the most common reasons for patients to develop cardiac arrhythmias. Of all the electrolyte abnormalities, hyperkalemia is most rapidly fatal. A high degree of clinical suspicion and aggressive treatment of underlying electrolyte abnormalities can prevent many patients from progressing to cardiac arrest.

Hypotension during intermittent hemodialysis is common, and has been attributed to acute volume shifts, shifts in osmolarity, electrolyte imbalance, temperature changes, altered vasoregulation, and sheer hypovolemia. Although hypovolemia may intuitively seem a likely cause for hypotension in intensive care patients, its role in the pathogenesis of intradialytic hypotension may be overestimated.

BACKGROUND Two main theoretical models have been used to assess the impact of psychosocial work factors on blood pressure (BP): the demand-control model (DC) and the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model. Little is known about their independent and combined effect. OBJECTIVE To examine the independent and combined effect of the DC and ERI models on ambulatory BP (ABP). METHOD Data were collec...

introduction: many of those who survive following an earthquake die in the next phase due to preventable and treatable medical conditions such as hyperkalemia. the present study aimed to evaluate the trend of potassium changes in crush syndrome patients of bam earthquake. methods: in this retrospective cross-sectional study, using the database of bam earthquake victims, which were developed by ...

PURPOSE Our objective was to determine the risk factors for inpatient admission of pediatric burn patients. MATERIALS & METHODS This cross-sectional study uses data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database (HCUP KID) for the years of 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012 to estimate the risk factors for inpatient admission for pediatric patients who sustained a burn inju...
