The Physiological Basis for Altered Na\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e and Cl\u3csup\u3e-\u3c/sup\u3e Movement Across the Gills of Rainbow Trout (\u3cem\u3eOncorhynchus mykiss\u3c/em\u3e) in Alkaline (pH=9.5) Water [PDF]
To test the hypothesis that internal ion imbalances at high pH are caused by altered branchial ion transporting capacity and permeability, radiotracers (24Na+ and 36Cl-) were used to measure ion movements across the gills of intact rainbow trout ...

Systemization for the management of acid-base balance in seriously ill patients
Introduction: Acid-base balance alterations can be of a primary nature. In most cases, they depend on the complication of a pre-existing disease. The frequency of these disorders is high, especially in patients hospitalized in critical care units.

Implications of moderate altitude training for sea level endurance in elite distance runners [PDF]
Elite distance runners participated in one of two studies designed to investigate the e ects of mod- erate altitude training (inspiratory partial pressure of oxygen »115±125 mmHg) on submaximal, maximal and supramaximal exercise performance following

Acute respiratory acidosis and alkalosis – A modern quantitative interpretation
Background: Three different approaches for assessing the acid-base status of a patient exist, i.e. the Boston, Copenhagen, and Stewart´s approach, and they employ different parameters to assess a given acid-base disturbance.

Complications of Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]
With increasing utilization of mechanical ventilation during the past decade or so, complications related to its use have also increased. Ventilators are primarily indicated when acceptable safe levels of oxygenation and ventilation cannot be maintained ...
