Implantable cardiac pacemakers By virtue of the light weight and high theoretical capacity of lithium metal, lithium primary batteries have been widespread in health-improving medical devices since the successful implantation of the first lithium-powered pacemaker in 1970s.29, 30 Depending on the power level, implantable medical device primary batteries fall into several categories: low-rate batteries outputting microwatts of power such as batteries for cardiac pacemakers and hearing devices;…

Also if you notice that a baby’s skin is salty when you kiss them, then their “sweat electrolyte levels” (Davies et al. 2007) should be measured to see if they are too high. If they happen to be too high this is normally a pretty good sign that they have Cystic Fibrosis although, this test is not always accurate in determining wither or not…

When administered, it decreases sodium absorption in the kidneys, which then produces the increased urinary output (KER). Through this process, the transport of calcium and magnesium, along with other electrolytes is affected (KER). While most of these electrolytes are easily replaced through the horse’s diet, calcium is often not fed in the amounts that would replenish the loss occurred when Lasix is given (Allin). This only creates a small deficiency, but for already fragile horses…
