We motivate the case for the use of static analysis to diagnose such problems and describe o...

It is now well established that its presence conveys an increased mortality risk even when the decrement is mild. In addition, recent evidence suggests that chronic and apparently asymptomatic hyponatremia is associated with increased morbidity including neurocogn...
