Not all of the doctors choose the sodium bicarbonate protocol. Several cardiologists prefer instead to hydrate the patient with normal saline at 150 milliliters/hour for one hour prior to the procedure and reduce to 100 milliliters/hour for six hours post procedure. This has piqued my interest to see if sodium bicarbonate is better than a normal saline to prevent CIN. The sample population of the study consists of 294 consecutively enrolled elderly patients over the age of 60 with renal…

prompted him to go to an urgent care for evaluation. His laboratory blood work demonstrated a serum sodium of 122 mEq/L. He was highly advised to go to the emergency room at that time which he declined. Therefore, he was given a liter of normal saline at the center and was asked to return to his primary care physician for repeat blood work. One day prior to his hospital admission, he had a regular office appointment with his oncologist. Blood work was obtained and showed a serum sodium of…

Cisplatin, Bradford reagent, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), reduced glutathione (GSH), glacial metaphosphoric acid (Gmpa), 5,5ˊ-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), proteinase K and agarose were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co, MO, USA. All other chemicals and solvents used were of the highest purity grade available. 2.2. Animals Sixty Adult male albino rats (180-200g) were…

mainly done on blood samples of newborns, especially when a newborn is suffering from jaundice. • Procedure: 1. Place the sample of RBCs to be tested in a 5 % suspension of isotonic saline. 2. Using a clean pipette, add 1 drop of the RBCs suspension prepared into a small test tube. 3. Wash 3 times using normal saline in order to remove all serum traces. After last washing step, decant completely. 4. Then add 2 drops of antihuman serum and mix thoroughly.…

The case is about a 22-year-old female who has been sick for eight days. She thought that she had the “Flu”. She complained of nausea, vomiting and had a poor appetite. To counteract her nausea, she was taking copious amounts of antacids. She fell at home and was taken to the ER. She was dehydrated and intravenous fluids were given to rehydrate her. An arterial blood gas (ABG) was drawn. The results of the ABG showed an acid-base disturbance. The patient’s acid-base disturbance was acute…

pigment, damage the photosynthetic apparatus and decreases the activities of Calvin cycle enzymes (Monakhova and Chernyadev 2002), inhibition of rubisco and closure of stomata, thereby, decreasing the CO2 pressure (Bethkey and Drew, 1992). Under saline conditions, accumulation of compatible organic osmolytes such as soluble sugars and free proline is also enhanced in most plants (Perveen et al., 2011; Ashraf et al., 2012; Perveen et al., 2012b). Under salt stress, Na+ and Cl– concentrations in…

Solar desalinization is a technique of removing salt from saline water with a uniquely created still that absorbs the sun’s energy in order to boil saline water and intake the product’s steam to be cooled and converted back to pure drinkable water. Lower than one percent of desalinization plants are powered with energy sources similar to solar energy. An example of one of these plants is WaterFX in California which produces 65,00 gallons of drinkable water daily. This same company, WaterFx…

This study conducted by Charles R. Crow, Riley E. Hinson, and Shepard Sigel focused on conditioned tolerance to the hypothermic effects of alcohol in lab rats. Prior to this, research tested this conditioned tolerance to a few of moprhine’s effects and found that the environment where the rat receives the drug does in fact influence tolerance to drug effects. This current study conducted two separate experiments to gain insight into the importance of environmental stimuli in the conditioning…

infection. (Mrs. Jones Patient Chart, 2015) Treatment was to increase the IV normal saline to help flush kidneys of the bacteria. IV antibiotics are ordered to treat the infection with admission into the hospital for continuation of care.(Mrs. Jones Patient Chart, 2015) Nursing care plan: Urinary Tract Infection related to bacteria found in the urine. Interventions: Administer IV antibiotics and normal saline as ordered. Take vital signs every 4 hours and PRN to…

(etoposide phosphate) and normal saline solution (Moncilovich). Emily Jerry had a yolk sac tumor and began treatment when she was a year and a half old. Her doctors ensured her parents that it was not only treatable but curable. After months of treatment, Emily’s tumor had disappeared and she was…
