Effects of resuscitation with crystalloid fluids on cardiac function in patients with severe sepsis [PDF]

, 2008
Background The use of hypertonic crystalloid solutions, including sodium chloride and bicarbonate, for treating severe sepsis has been much debated in previous investigations.

The Faraday Scalpel: Electrochemical Nerve Lesioning Mechanisms Studied in Invertebrate Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Direct‐current produces nerve lesioning through discrete electrochemical reactions. Using hypoxia‐sensitive locust nerves and hypoxia‐tolerant leech nerves, we map three injury pathways: cathodic oxygen reduction, cathodic alkalization, and anodic chloride oxidation. These findings establish electrochemical lesioning—the “Faraday Scalpel”—as a precise,

Characterization of a Human Powered Nebulizer Compressor for Resource Poor Settings [PDF]

, 2014
Background Respiratory disease accounts for three of the ten leading causes of death worldwide. Many of these diseases can be treated and diagnosed using a nebulizer. Nebulizers can also be used to safely and efficiently deliver vaccines.

Isovolumic relaxation strain imaging is an accurate and sensitive approach for detection of active diastolic dysfunction: A preclinical study

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified approach was developed to accurately identify the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) using an apical three‐chamber view. Compared with conventional echocardiography, isovolumic relaxation strain imaging (IVSI) helps to detect the earlier alternations of diastolic function in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.

Presystemic influences on thirst, salt appetite, and vasopressin secretion in the hypovolemic rat [PDF]

, 2006
Recent studies have shown that when dehydrated rats are given access to water or various concentrations of saline solution, they consume the same volume of fluid in an initial drinking bout (Hoffmann et al., 2006). Furthermore, there was a close relation

Validity and reproducibility of morphologic analysis of nasal secretions obtained using ultrasonic nebulization of hypertonic solution. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Collection of nasal secretions is important for the evaluation of upper airways inflammation in many nasal disorders. OBJECTIVE: To study the validity and reproducibility of nasal secretion cellularity induced by nebulization of hypertonic ...

Tunable Regional Targeting of Self‐Assembling Peptide Nanomaterials in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In a rat model of acute myocardial infarction, intravascular delivery of peptide nanofibers with a collagen‐targeting peptide bound to the infarct vasculature while globular peptide nanoparticles penetrated into the infarct area. This study demonstrated that size, shape, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials control the delivery location within the ...

A randomized trial of nebulized 3% hypertonic saline with salbutamol in the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in hospitalized infants [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Acute bronchiolitis is a common disorder of infants that often results in hospitalization. Apart from supportive care, no therapy has been shown to influence the course of the disease, except for a possible effect of nebulized hypertonic ...

Trendelenburg positioning with or without norepinephrine infusion for haemodynamic support in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intraoperative haemorrhage during equine anaesthesia is a rare but potentially fatal complication requiring prompt haemodynamic support. Postural manoeuvres such as Trendelenburg (TL) positioning and vasopressor support augment venous return and improve cardiac output (CO), yet their efficacy in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses ...

Comparative Analysis of Four Matrix Dilution Methods for Eliminating IgM Paraprotein Interference in Prealbumin and Uric Acid Assays: Based on Two Case Reports

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
IgM paraproteins can cause significant interference in prealbumin (PA) and uric acid (UA) measurements, leading to falsely abnormal results. We systematically compared four dilution methods to eliminate this interference. Dilution with the PA reagent (containing PEG) effectively restored accurate PA results.
