Deverall, P. B., Muss, D. C., Macartney, F. J., and Settle, J. D. (1973). Thorax, 28, 756761. Osmolal balance after open intracardiac operations in children. Changes in plasma osmolality, urine osmolality, urine volume, total osmolal output, and free osmolal output have been studied in children between 2 and 10 years of age. All underwent elective open intracardiac operations. Plasma hypo-osmol...

The fate of bacteria in human urine was studied after inoculation of small numbers of Escherichia coli and other bacterial strains commonly implicated in urinary tract infection. Urine from normal individuals was often inhibitory and sometimes bactericidal for growth of these organisms. Antibacterial activity of urine was not related to lack of nutrient material as addition of broth did not dec...

Buspirone is a potent anxiolytic that decreases serotonin transmission. Changes in electrolyte balance, plasma osmolality and systolic blood pressure are often associated with stress-induced anxiety in rats as well as in human but effects of buspirone on changes in serum electrolytes balance, plasma osmolality and SBP of rats has not been reported. Present study concerns the effects of differen...

Aim—To evaluate the eVect of fortification on the osmolality of human milk. Methods—The osmolality of 47 samples of human milk was determined at baseline, just after, and 24 hours after supplementation with five diVerent human milk fortifiers (HMF) at 4°C. Results—Ten minutes after HMF supplementation the osmolality of human milk was significantly higher than the sum of the respective values of...

UNLABELLED Animal studies have shown that large volumes of IV lactated Ringer's solution (LR) decrease serum osmolality, thereby increasing cerebral water. These studies have led to recommendations to limit LR to avoid cerebral edema in neurosurgical patients. Eighteen healthy human volunteers aged 20-48 yr received 50 mL/kg LR over 1 h on one occasion and 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) on another. ...

The response of desamino-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) was investigated in 32 enuretic children in a double-blind clinical study. The 15 children treated with DDAVP showed a significant reduction in the incidence of bed wetting--from 18.7 +/- 6.5 to 6.5 +/- 9.2 wet nights per 30 days. In 6 children bed wetting stopped entirely, in 6 there was a satisfactory response, and in 3 the response was ...

Davies, D. P. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 575. Plasma osmolality and protein intake in preterm infants. Plasma osmolality was measured in 53 preterm, low birthweight infants on 3 days (days 7, 14, and 28) during the first month of life. The aim of the study was to compare the plasma osmolality of infants fed expressed human breast milk with that of infants fed two proprietary ...

The present study was conducted to observe the effect of osmolality of glycerolated TEST-yolk glycerol extenders on post-thawing sperm kinematics of ram spermatozoa of the native Malpura breed maintained in a semi-arid tropical environment. Good quality semen obtained from adult rams was pooled, split and diluted to 1,000 million spermatozoa per ml in complete TEST-yolkglycerol extenders of 900...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To examine the association between quantified urine color and urine osmolality, and its validity in distinguishing hydration status among college men in Hebei, China. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Sixty-eight college men aged 18~25 years completed a cross-sectional study. All participants were asked to complete a 24-h fluid intake record to estimate fluid intake from beve...
