This is a critical finding since high sodium levels preclude administrating mannitol or hypertonic saline for the treatment of elevated intracranial pressure. Moreover, a false high sodium level might lead to the inappropriate administration of hypotonic fluids potentially resulting in increased brain ...
A decrease in cardiac pump function that is associated with a neurohumoral response, which is characterized by the activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems and elevated circulating levels of natriuretic peptides, vasopressin, endothelin-1, urotensins, adrenomedullin...
His blood examinations showed elevation of C-reactive protein (CRP; 7.1 mg/dL), d-dimer (13.0 μg/mL), ferritin (11,404 ng/mL), and decrease of platelet count (49,000/μL), serum sodium level (130 mEq/L). Thus, he was treated with IVIG; 2 g/kg, aspirin (ASA; 300 mg/day)...
The butyrate-conjugated polymer formulations developed for this study release butyrate in distinct segments of the lower GI tract, in contrast to sodium butyrate (NaBut), which is predominantly absorbed in the stomach. When the two polymers are administered together (ButM), they modulate barrier in...
and either heating this with aqueous acid to give the desired product or liberating the L-triacetyl compound by adding a solution of the quinine salt in methanol to an aqueous solution of sodium oxalate, removing the diquinine oxalate and removing the acetyl groups by hydrolysis, or by reacting...
The LH plasma level was markedly reduced in male, the corticosterone level was elevated in fetuses of both sexes as well as the androstenedione level in female fetuses.A simultaneous treatment of mother animals with tyrosine — a catecholamine precursor — prevented the depletion of hypothalamic and...
The higher oxidation efficiency under the higher solution pH could be due to elevated ozone utilization ratio at higher pH. It was observed that during the ozonation reaction the solution pH was a little declined. The ozone solubility depends on the pH, presence of radical scavengers, and ...
A process for the hydrothermal fusion of aluminum silicate and alkali aluminum silicates with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution under pressure and at elevated temperatures in the presence of soluble silicates, in which an aqueous solution containing from about 20 to about 50% by weight of NaOH is ...
elevated OPN levels were strong predictor for an unfavourable patients’ outcome6. Moreover, we demonstrated that in patients with cholangiocellur carcinoma, display higher serum Osteopontin concentrations when compared to controls. In these patients, elevated serum levels of Osteopontin indicated a poor...
immunotherapies demonstrated for the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors, we engineered a cytokine-anchored chimeric antigen receptor T (CCAR-T) cell system using a chimeric IL-5-CD28-CD3ζ receptor to trigger T-cell-mediated killing of eosinophils that are elevated during severe asthma ...
