Preparation of Tissue-Studies were performed on the isolated urinary bladder of the toad, Bujo marinus. Animals were pithed and the two halves of the bladder rapidly removed through a ventral incision. The tissue was rinsed in Ringer’s solution before use. For the study of the oxygen consumption of various toad tissues, small intestine, stomach, heart, ventral abdominal skin, and skeletal muscl...

The present studies were designed to characterize sodium transport in the jejunum and ileum of humans with respect to the effects of water flow, sodium concentration, addition of glucose and galactose, and variations in aniomic composition of luminal fluid. In the ileum, sodium absorption occurred against very steep electrochemical gradients (110 mEq/liter, 5-15 mv), was unaffected by the rate ...

BACKGROUND Increased plasma potassium concentrations (K(+)) in neonatal calves with diarrhea are associated with acidemia and severe clinical dehydration and are therefore usually corrected by intravenous administration of fluids containing sodium bicarbonate. OBJECTIVES To identify clinical and laboratory variables that are associated with changes of plasma K(+) during the course of treatmen...

Male mongrel dogs were used. Methods of inducing acidosis and alkalosis described by Lew et al (5) were followed with modifications. Metabolic acidosis was induced by oral administration of ammonium chloride (5.3 g/day for five days) (n=10). Control animals (n=6) were given sodium chloride (5.85 g/day) in the same manner. Animals were used for the experiments on the sixth day. Metabolic alkalos...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), and the effect of intravenous albumin for prophylaxis of CIN in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 81 subjects with LC and CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) who underwent co...

Nephropathy following contrast media (CM) exposure is reduced by administration before, during, and after the contrast procedure of either isotonic sodium chloride solution (Saline) or isotonic sodium bicarbonate solution (IsoBicarb). The reasons for this reduction are not well established for either sodium salt; probable mechanisms are discussed in this paper. For Saline, the mechanism for the...

background: sodium bicarbonate serum therapy is used for compensation bicarbonate lost and increasing blood ph in metabolic acidosis caused by severe anemia in patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency. the aim of present study was comparison the effect of serum therapy using two different serums (serum with bicarbonate and without bicarbonate) on some renal and hematolog...

this research was conducted to determine the best temperature for storing different melon cultivars (ghasry, khaghany, tashkandy) and the best concentration and treatment length for immersion in an emulsion of sunflower oil and sodium bicarbonate. after harvest, precooling and sorting, the melons were treated with an emulsion of sunflower oil (3%, 5%) and sodium 2% sodium bicarbonate for 5 or 1...
