dextrose/edema

Blood and urine chemical values at parturition in clinically normal Holstein cows (n = 12) were compared with the same values in Holstein cows developing udder edema (n = 12). There was no statistically significant mean difference between the 2 groups for the serum and urine chemical data.

In this study, we examined the effect of four i.v. fluids (250 mL/kg) on blood glucose and osmolality and brain tissue specific gravity after closed head trauma (CHT) in rats. CHT was delivered at Time 0; blood was sampled at 60 min; fluid infusion began at 75 min and ended at 105 min. Blood was

We previously reported that intravenous (i.v.) administration of large volumes (0.2 ml/g) of either an isotonic dextrose-free solution or 5% dextrose solution given over 18 h after closed head trauma (CHT) in rats did not significantly affect neurological severity score or brain tissue specific

Rapid infusion of 0.25 ml/g of 0.9% saline over 30 minutes has been shown to have no effect on electrolyte balance, neurological severity score (NSS), or brain edema, following closed head trauma (CHT). Rapid infusion of the same volume of 5% dextrose solution decreased blood sodium concentration,

Before injection of diuretic drugs, blood pressures were determined in the cranial superficial epigastric veins (milk vein) and jugular veins of 15 Holstein cows with udder edema at parturition and of 15 healthy (control) cows at parturition. Cows with udder edema had a significant (P less than or

We previously reported that in rats with closed head trauma (CHT), intravenous (IV) administration of 0.25 mL/g of 5% dextrose solution (D5W) increased blood glucose (G), decreased blood sodium (Na), caused no change in blood osmolality (Osm), increased brain edema (BE), and worsened neurological

The effect of standard parenteral nutritional formulas on cold-induced vasogenic edema formation in cats was examined and compared to the effects of 5% dextrose, 0.9% saline, and 40.5% mannitol. The amount of vasogenic edema formed during a 3-hour period of fluid infusion following cold injury was

We investigated the effect of IL-2 in the isolated guinea pig lung perfused with phosphate-buffered Ringer's solution (containing 0.5 g/100 ml albumin and 5.5 mM dextrose) to determine the mechanism of IL-2-induced pulmonary edema. IL-2 (0 to 10,000 U/ml) was added to the perfusate following a 10

Previous investigators have suggested that calcium may play a role in the pathogenesis of myocardial cell damage following ischemia and reperfusion. Twenty-six in-situ blood perfused isovolumic canine preparations were divided into four groups. Group I dogs were maintained normocalcemic during 45

A 7-day-old girl had an elevated leucine level on newborn screen drawn at 2 days of age and was suspected of having maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). When reported, the patient was immediately admitted to hospital, and started on a modified diet involving high calories with reduced branched chain

Abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy (AAA) results in thromboxane (Tx)A2 generation, a rise in mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP), leukopenia, and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. This study tests whether mannitol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, modifies these events. Patients received mannitol 0.2 g/kg

This experiment was designed to study the effects of intravascular volume expansion with crystalloid and colloid agents on intracranial pressure (ICP) and computerized electroencephalographic (EEG) data in dogs with cerebral vasogenic edema. A liquid nitrogen cold lesion was produced in the right

Disagreement exists regarding the need to restrict the administration of fluid and glucose following head injury to prevent cerebral edema and neurologic deterioration. We examined whether blood osmolality and glucose, neurologic outcome, and the development of brain edema following head trauma were

For almost a century, it has been known that hypertonic solutions shrink cerebral tissue. Early attempts used hypertonic solutions of ions (sodium, magnesium) and sugars (glucose, dextrose, sucrose), concentrated albumin, and, later, urea. These early attempts were largely abandoned because the
