Nevertheless, chemical determinations, ECG and EEG records are necessary to establish the type and degree of the electrolyte and acid-base imbalance and the management to be used: sodium bicarbonate in acidosis, potassium chloride in hypokaliemic alkalosis.doi:10.1016/S0022-3476(56)80070-XDebréRoyerLestradetMosby, Inc.Journ...
Nausea refers to an unpleasant sensation that is often localized to the abdomen and typically interpreted as an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the forceful oral expulsion of gastric contents.

Biochemical testing to dismiss hypothyroidism, hypercalcemia, Addison's disease, and other electrolyte and acid–base abnormalities are prudent. Drug screening is also considered to see if CHS is a possibility. Upper endoscopy, small bowel radiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance enterogra...
177 Nucleic acid–based assays (e.g., reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]) of stool specimens are the standard method of detection of these viruses, especially during outbreak investigation. In the typical clinical situation, however, norovirus-specific diagnostic tests are rarely...
NS5A is important for HCV RNA replication, assembly and secretion MONITORING DURING HCV THERAPY—CBC weekly for 4 weeks, then CBC, AST, ALT, uric acid monthly, TSH and ANA every 3 months, and HCV RNA at 4, 12, and 24 weeks during treatment and 6 months after therapy. For significant ...
What independent caring interventions might be implemented for a client with nausea and vomiting to prevent an acid-base imbalance? A male client is admitted with a bowel obstruction and intractable vomiting for the past several hours despite ...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) activity also plays a role in gut-brain axis signaling and has led to evaluation of medications such as gabapentin (GABA-analogue) and baclofen (GABAb receptor agonist) to treat not only nausea but also several neurogastroenterology and motility disorders (e.g. rum...
