Note that there are substances which can elevate the osmolality without producing dilutional hyponatremia (e.g., urea, ethanol) as they distribute equally intra and extracellularly and produce an osmolar gap. The Third step is to assess the ECF volume status of the patient. Patients with ...
The presence of hyponatremia in the heart failure patient correlates with both the severity of the disease and its ultimate outcome. The therapeutic approach to the treatment of hyponatremia in heart failure has traditionally relied on ... DA Sica - 《Congestive Heart Failure》 被引量: 59发表: ...
The chapter illustrates the auses of ascites and common pathogenesis of ascites, hyponatremia and hepatorenal syndrome. Mixed ascites occurs in about 5% of cases when the patient has two or more separate causes of ascites formation, such as cirrhosis and infection or malignancy. Abdominal ...
Clinical notes are unstructured text documents generated by clinicians during patient encounters, generally are annotated with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes, which give formatted information about the diagnosis and treatment. ICD code has shown its potentials in many fields, but manu...
Drug overdose accounts for 15% of all cocaine users suffering seizures.79 The commonest metabolic disorder is hypoglycemia2,10 followed by hyponatremia. Patients suffering from trauma have a 12-fold higher incidence of seizures than do the general population.79 Seizures, those longer than 30 ...
Several conditions can precipitate acute episodes of HE, among them: constipation, concomitant infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, administration of sedative drugs, dehydration following liquid losses or excess of diuretics, hyponatremia, and alkalosis. These so-called “precipitating factors” can act at...
(from ≥ 5 to 100 per mm3; [31]), and the albumin quotient CSF/serum informs about the blood-CSF-barrier function, which should be assessed using the Reiber scheme [39,72]. Serological analyses should exclude hyponatremia, which can be associated with anti-LGI1 Abs [88]. Box 2 ...
New approaches to enhance environmental cleaning in an acute tertiary hospital Environmental contamination with nosocomial pathogens on the near–patient surfaces and equipment has been associated with its indirect transmission. Thoro... TK Yuen,LM Lin,LE Choon,... - 《Bmc Proceedings》 被引量: 6发...
In the pancytopenic conditions, as the bone marrow transplantation is done, the damaged bone marrow is replaced with a healthy one, therefore normal blood cells are produced. It is very difficult and rare that the patient’s stem cells are healthy and therefore the chances of autologous blood...
Since COVID-19 pneumonia and myocardial infarction (MI) are concomitant, Ticagrelor seems to contribute to patient survival for various reasons. One reason is that the PLATO study has shown that sepsis and pulmonary infections were less common in individuals using Ticagrelor. It prevents DIC ...
