Metabolic alkalosis and myoclonus [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2003
Abstract This is the first case reported of vomiting-induced metabolic alkalosis associated with myoclonus. The report describes an unusual presentation of myoclonus secondary to acid-base disturbance caused by recreational drug-induced vomiting.

Metabolic alkalosis acquired in intensive care: a retrospective cohort study

INTRODUCTION: Alkalosis is a common acid-base disturbance in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. We evaluated the epidemiology of metabolic alkalosis developing during admission to the ICU and its relationship with outcome.

The role of acid‐base balance in cerebrovascular and ventilatory responses to CO2 during 10 h normobaric hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During 10 h exposures to normobaric hypoxia exposure there was a selective leftward shift in ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnic rebreathing, but not the cerebrovascular response. The key findings are that the resetting of the central chemoreflex to lower PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$ during early hypoxic ...

Enhancing the regeneration of bone defects by alkalizing the peri-implant zone – an in vitro approach

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016
The effects of alkaline pH on the initial adhesion of osteoblasts to titanium surfaces was analyzed by single cell force microscopy (SCFM). In the SCFM measurements, the same cells were used to compare their unspecific adhesion to uncoated titanium with ...

Ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise in lowlander children acclimatizing to high‐altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend To investigate age‐related differences in ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise at high‐altitude, adults (n = 10, 23–44 years) and children (n = 8, 7–14 years) completed progressive cycling exercise tests at sea‐level and following 6 days of acclimatization at 3800 m.

Elevated carotid body tonic activity contributes to ventilatory acclimatization and de‐acclimatization to high altitude at rest and during exercise

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Participants spent 13 days at high altitude (3800 m), where the reduced inspired oxygen pressure (↓PiO2$ \downarrow {P_{{\mathrm{i}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) which elicited ventilatory acclimatization and increased inhibition of ventilation by transient hyperoxia (ΔV̇E$\Delta {\dot V_{\mathrm{E}}}$).

The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia in high‐altitude deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia has been contentious. Many high‐altitude natives have greater haemoglobin–O2 affinity (lower P50, the O2 pressure at 50% haemoglobin saturation) than their low‐altitude counterparts, but the advantages of this change for aerobic metabolism have often remained

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Distal tubule bicarbonate reabsorption during rebound metabolic alkalosis

, 1991
Rebound metabolic alkalosis is a transient alkalemia that is seen during recovery from NH4Cl-induced metabolic acidosis. The persistent elevation of plasma bicarbonate concentration is the result of continuing excretion of net acid by the kidney ...
