Moderate increases of ureteral back pressure usually cause decreases of glomerular filtration rate and even greater decreases of sodium excretion. It has been assumed previously that increased ureteral back pressure does not enhance renal tubular sodium reabsorption directly and that the decreases of sodium excretion are caused by the decreases of glomerular filtration rate. In the experiments ...

1. Effective renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate and cardiac output were measured in osmotically loaded dogs before and during comparable acute respiratory and metabolic acidosis. 2. Urine output increased in control dogs and in animals with metabolic acidosis, but declined with respiratory acidosis. Effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate declined with respiratory ...

Drilling fluid is the most important lifeline of the drilling operation, that main task is facilitate the cuttings removal of the drilling. There are varieties of drilling fluids such as sodium bentonite based-drilling fluid is called “mud” and drilling foam or surfactant based-drilling fluid is called “soap”. The present work aims are study on the modified drilling mud properties by using the ...

The present study deals with development of a floating in-situ gel of the narrow absorption window drug baclofen. Sodium alginate-based in-situ gelling systems were prepared by dissolving various concentrations of sodium alginate in deionized water, to which varying concentrations of drug and calcium bicarbonate were added. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scannin...

SUMMARY The renal function, including sodium excretion rates, were studied in 27 patients with early essential hypertension, before and during angiotensin infusions. The patients had a preparatory period of salt loading for four days taking a supplement of 7 g of NaCl. Determinations were made during two 30-minute periods before the angiotensin and for two 30-minute periods afterward. Arterial ...

The Ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) was synthesized by the detonation of a high explosive mixture in water confinement. The presence of a diamond phase was revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray line broadening (XRLB) was used to evaluate the peak profiles of diamond nanoparticles and their corresponding average crystallite sizes. The micro st...

The effect of ultra-sonication on quality characteristics and flavor of baked eggs was studied. One hundred and twenty eggs were cooked and assigned to six treatments groups (n=20 each) that were then soaked in saline solution at various concentrations (5, 10 and 18%) with/or without further ultra-sonication treatment at 35 kHz for 1 h. The pH values were lower in the ultra-sonicated samples in...
