Abstract
The results of treatment of 947 patients, suffering duodenal ulcer stenosis, to whom the enteral nutrition (EN) probe was introduced before and after operation, were analyzed. There was noted a positive impact of EN on metabolic processes, water-electrolyte balance, lowering of operative-anesthesiolo...

Abstract
The acute acclimatization to high altitude is underpinned by a diuresis (and to a lesser extent a natriuresis) that facilitates a reduction in plasma volume. This allows a haemoconcentration to occur that increases the oxygen carrying capacity of a given volume of blood, a vital effect in the presenc...

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone, is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus. It is primarily responsible for osmoregulation and thus maintains body fluid homeostasis. It is also a potent vasoconstrictor, may have a role in higher cognitive functions...

Abstract
Technological developments in the fields of membranes, machines and fluids have contributed to making hemodiafiltration (HDF) a safe and effective technique. Synthetic membranes with combined hydrophilic-hydrophobic structure and reduced wall thickness allowed to combine diffusion and convection int...

Abstract
Acidocalcisomes of Trypanosoma cruzi are acidic calcium-containing organelles rich in phosphorus in the form of pyrophosphate (PP(i)) and polyphosphate (poly P). Acidification of the organelles is driven by vacuolar proton pumps, one of which, the vacuolar-type proton pyrophosphatase, is absent in ma...

Abstract
New analogs of some neurohypophyseal hormones (oxypressin, hydrin, glumitocin, vasotocin) have been synthesized. Experiments with injection of these peptides to rats showed that substitution of C-terminal glycinamide on beta-ethanolamine (glycinol) or ethylamine in 1-deamino-arginine vasotocin resul...

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that jack bean urease (JBU) has antidiuretic effects on Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules, decreasing the serotonin-stimulated secretion of fluid. Now, we evaluate the toxicity of the intact JBU and its effect on R. prolixus anterior midgut, to further elucidate the mec...

Abstract
We measured copeptin in serum by a sandwich immunoassay. Injury severity was assessed by Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and computed tomography, and recovery by Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS). Neuroendocrine and osmoregulation regulation were examined on day 0, 3 and 7, and 24 months post-injury. Copeptin wa...

A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and steroid therapy was initiated. Subsequently, he was affected by deep mycosis, and hence, voriconazole (VRCZ) was administered. On the 16th day, he was transferred to our hospital because of somnole...

Abstract
Our results indicate that there was a significant increase in ammonia content in the intestine of B. sinensis exposed to 15 mmol l(-1) NH(4)Cl in seawater (pH 7.0) for 6 days. There were also significant increases in the amination and deamination activities and protein abundance of intestinal GDH. T...

Abstract
There is growing evidence that early water and electrolyte homeostasis may be influenced by energy balance in preterm infants. Some fluid and electrolyte disturbances of postnatal life could be in part promoted by the catabolism due to withheld amino acid and energy supply after birth. According to...

Abstract
Increased water intake of 3 L per day decreased Uosm in most ADPKD subjects. While urine [cAMP] accurately reflects changes in Uosm during acute water loading in ADPKD subjects, chronic water loading did not lower 24-hour urine cAMP excretion, although subjects with higher baseline [cAMP] (>2 nmol/m...

Abstract
Only 5% of elasmobranch species live in freshwater (FW) compared to more than 40% of known teleost species. The factors affecting the poor penetration of elasmobranchs into FW environments are currently unknown, however, an important consideration may be the high urea requirement of many proteins in...

Abstract
Renal failure affects the body's water-electrolyte balance. It is considered to be acute when it occurs abruptly, in a matter of hours or days. It is considered to be chronic when it lasts more than three months. Drugs are among the many causes of both acute and chronic renal failure. Their detrimen...
