1.1 General consideration Monitoring of different Clinical Research enables research ethics boards to ensure that, the standards that they approve in theory are being applied in practice [1] [2]. It has been suggested that such review has to be performed regularly and that it include monitoring of a variety of aspects of research, such as the consent process, adherence to the approved protocol and data integrity [1] [3]. 1. Weijer C, Shapiro S, Fuks A, Glass KC, Skrutkowska M. Monitoring…

Alkalosis causes hypoventilation and retention of CO2 and hence doesn’t allow the pH to rise. RENAL COMPENSATION Kidneys play an important role in the long term regulation of pH. It does so by regulating acid excretion, bicarbonate reabsorption, H+ secretion and ammonium ion…

for metabolic processes of cells. Second, as it distributes the nutrients, it also takes away the metabolic wastes, and other harmful byproducts from areas of the cell and will then take it to the liver for metabolism and then to the kidneys for excretion. This function of the blood makes sure that there will be no accumulated waste in the cells that will lead the cell to its death. Third, it maintains homeostasis of pH, temperature and water content of the body. The blood has its bicarbonate…

Since early 2000, there has been a significant increase of Americans who suffer from Renal Failure which was up by 57%. There are five stages of Chronic Kidney disease, and each stage has a specific characteristic which is defined by the glomerular filtrations rate. The fifth and final stage is End-Stage Renal Failure which is when the kidney is functioning at a GFR of less than 15%. According to the United States Renal Data System Annual Report more than 615,000 American’s are being treated for…

In a strictly operational sense, calcium balance is determined by the relationship between calcium intake and calcium absorption and excretion. The system is that relatively small changes in calcium absorption and excretion that can neutralize a high intake or compensate for a low one. Moreover the calcium absorption is an ingested calcium mixes with digestive juice calcium in the proximal small intestine from where it is absorbed by a process, which has an active saturable component and a…

Can one imagine food lasting for weeks? Can one imagine not having to share the same bucket for bodily excretions? How about staying cool at the touch of a switch? Before the Rural Electrification Act was enforced, people endured austere conditions, such as poor heating in houses and unsanitary environments. Because of electricity, things such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and indoor plumbing are now able to function. Due to electricity, people no longer have to make tiresome trips to…

succinyl-CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase. The Cori Cycle has many parts to it ultimately leading to the breakdown of glucose and the diffusion of lactate with the liver. In the Cori cycle there is the conversion of glucose to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis in muscle cells, the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream then being transported to the liver. To the conversion of lactate to glucose through…

turnover may be related to diets rich in purines including proteins, fats, and sugary foods like soft drinks (Tophaceous gout in finger pads). Under-excretion of uric acid by the kidneys accounts for up to 90% of gout cases (Tophi as first mani). Heavy alcohol intake and medications including diuretics, aspirin, and nicotinic acid may decrease excretion of uric acid and contribute to an acute attack (Tophaceous gout in the finger pads). Gout is also associated with hypertension, obesity,…

cause by water intoxication due to renal water retention leading to hyponatremia, urine that is too concentrated when serum osmolarity is very high. According to Huether & McCance (2012), Sign and symptom of SIADH depends on rate of development and severity of hyponetremia. In mild cases of hyponetremia, may or may not have any symptom. Norman sodium level in the blood is between 136 to 145 mEq/L. When this level drops from 140 to 130 mEq/L. some of the sign and symptoms may occur like…
