OBJECTIVE To determine the intravascular electrolyte status in dairy cows with respect to age and different courses of parturition to clarify etiological factors influencing peri- or intrapartal imbalances of electrolyte homeostasis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 64 cows at birth were evaluated (primiparous n = 34, pluriparous n = 30). Thirty-three cows showed normal delivery, while 31 cows...

Aminoglycosides are still widely used for treatment of gram-negative sepsis in critically ill patients. The most reported electrolyte abnormalities related to these drugs are hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia.In this study potential benefit of atorvastatin in prevention of amikacin-induced electrolytes imbalances has been evaluated. In this trial 44 patients were assigned to the ato...

: Since the identification of COVID-19, its various manifestations have been reported in numerous studies. However, few studies specifically examined electrolyte imbalances seen this disease. Patients with a definitive diagnosis COVID-19 admitted to our hospital entered retrospective cross-sectional study. Upon admission patients, blood sample was sent for analysis electrolytes. The relationshi...

Disturbances in fluid and electrolytes are among the most common clinical problems encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Recent studies have reported that fluid and electrolyte imbalances are associated with increased morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. To provide optimal care, health care providers should be familiar with the principles and practice of fluid and elec...

Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) often occurs under stressful conditions, and has been reported during or after anesthesia and operation. HVS, characterized by multiple somatic symptoms and electrolyte imbalances induced by inappropriate hyperventilation, should be managed as an emergency. We report a rare case of HVS during spinal anesthesia. The patient was a previously healthy 51-year-old fem...

Modern equine serum biochemical profile laboratory reports include all of the important electrolytes, total carbon dioxide (tCO2), and total protein concentrations. Using case material it is demonstrated that this information is sufficient to provide an accurate understanding of acid-base balance in many circumstances without actually measuring pH and pCO2 directly. The Gamble gram is simple to...

BACKGROUND Pre-delivery maternal electrolyte derangements may reflect themselves in the newborn, since placental homeostasis determines electrolyte equilibrium between mother and fetus. CASE PRESENTATION A term newborn, transferred to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 1 h after birth for an apnoea episode, presented with initially left-sided, and subsequently generalized tonic-clonic seizures ...

The exceptional gravity of digestive fistulas with a high flow is caused by important losses of digestive secretions containing proteins and electrolytes, which leads to hypoproteinemia, electrolyte and metabolic imbalances, accompanied by secondary immunosuppression. The sepsis encumbered on a body with severe malnutrition, represents the main cause of death. The aim of this paper is to presen...
