In a case of bronchorrhoea associated with alveolar cell carcinoma thf rheological and chemical features of the sputum indicated that it was bronchial fluid and not saliva and part bronchial secretion, partly serum transudate. The viscosity and chemical constituents were similar to those found in bronchorrhoea when associated with chronic bronchitis, asthma, or bronchiectasis. The surfactant st...

Patients with chronic renal failure treated by dialysis must often restrict their fluid intake. Children find this restriction one of the most difficult aspects of treatment by dialysis, particularly if dialysis was preceded by a phase of polyuria. As a result many children experience episodes of fluid overload, which may have fatal consequences. Fluid removal by dialysis may be slow to begin a...

Hyponatremia as the presenting manifestation of empty sella syndrome is rare. There is little clinical experience in the management of this problem and its possible therapeutic complications. We herein report on a 44-year-old woman with a past history of massive postpartum hemorrhage who was admitted because of hyponatremia and disturbed consciousness. Initial biochemical data suggested the eff...

Systemic immune function is impaired by sleep restriction. However, the impact of sleep restriction on local immune responses and to what extent any impairment can be mitigated by nutritional supplementation is unknown. We assessed the effect of 72-h sleep restriction (2-h nightly sleep) on local immune function and skin barrier restoration of an experimental wound, and determined the influence...

Some patients with heart failure do not adequately follow self-care instructions, including a low-salt diet and fluid restriction. This study aimed to determine the effect of education using booklet media on average score adherence restriction in patients. type research is quasi-experimental, number respondents as many 76 people at Sebelas Maret University Hospital, Surakarta. Data collection u...

In a recent review of the data for fluid strategies and ARDS, fluid restriction or diuretic use was graded as "reasonably justifiable by available scientific evidence" and as "strongly supported by expert critical care opinion". Until the ARDS Network trial is published, only general guidelines regarding fluid management with or without specific vascular filling pressures from a pulmonary arter...

Toxoplasma gondii has a clonal population genetic structure with three (I, II, and III) lineages that predominate in North America and Europe. Type II strains cause most cases of symptomatic human infections in France and the United States, although few other regions have been adequately sampled. Here we determined the parasite genotype in amniotic fluid and cerebrospinal fluid samples from con...
