OBJECTIVE To review the physiology and cardiovascular effects of the commonly used intravenous electrolytes. DATA SOURCES Abstracts, articles and published reviews of studies reported from 1966 to 2000 and identified through a MEDLINE search on cardiac arrhythmias and electrolytes. SUMMARY OF REVIEW While isotonic saline solutions are used to improve the haemodynamic status in critically il...

The SLC51 organic solute transporter family of transporters is a pair heterodimeric proteins which regulate bile salt movements in the small intestine, duct, and liver, as part enterohepatic circulation [2, 5, 1]. OSTα/OSTβ also expressed steroidogenic cells brain adrenal gland, where it may contribute to steroid sulphate movement [6]. Bile acid transport suggested be facilitative independent s...

An isocratic RP-HPLC method was developed for the estimation of atropine sulphate in bulk. The separation was achieved with a C18 column using mobile phase comprising of methanol:5 mmol potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (50: 50, v/v), the pH of which was kept unadjusted. The flow rate was kept at 1 mL min-1 and analysts was screened with UV detector at 264 nm. The retention time for atropin...

The sensitivity of H. Pylori to antibiotic treatment is well known. Politherapy (omeprazole or pantoprazole or ranitidine, amoxicillin and/or azithromycin and/or clarithromycin, metronidazole and bismuth citrate) notably changed the percentage of H. pylori eradication but rarely resolutive. Periodontal pockets treatment with topic metronidazole, calcium sulphate and potassium sulphate resulted ...

BACKGROUND Spectacle contact allergy is not infrequent. The fine scratches on the spectacle frames which may play a role in the sensitization to the potential allergenic components have not been studied. OBJECTIVE We sought the relationship between the scratches on the spectacle frames and the allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in the Republic of Korea. METHODS A total of 42 Korean patients ...

The present study was based on the hypothesis that muriate of potash is a cheaper and rich source of potassium, but adversely affects the crops yield due to high Cl content. For this reason both column and field experiments were conducted to study the effect of potassium rates and sources on the availability of Cl, SO4 and K to maize crop growing on Haripur and Ghazi soils during 2004. In colum...
