During closed system anaesthesia with isoflurane, patients with a preoperative increase in blood concentration of acetone (> 10 mg litre-1) had a significantly greater concentration of acetone than patients with an initial normal blood concentration of acetone (P < 0.01). Flushing the closed system
Effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae) extracts (acetone, 50% ethanolic and aqueous) were investigated for antiemetic activity against emesis induced by 3 mg/kg cisplatin (the 100% emetic dose i.v.) in-healthy mongrel dogs. The acetone and 50% ethanolic extract at the doses of
BACKGROUND
Bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) cause vomiting, diarrhoea and even systemic disease. There is a need for the development of natural products into alternative and safer medicines.
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the anti-microbial activity of extracts prepared from
BACKGROUND
Zingiber officinale (ZO, family Zingiberaceae) has been reported for its antiemetic activity against cancer chemotherapy induced emesis in animal models and in clinics. Current study was designed to investigate ZO for potential usefulness against cisplatin induced vomiting in pigeon and
An accurate and relatively simple radioimmunoassay for the determination of aldosterone concentration in peripheral plasma has been developed, 0.5-2.0 ml plasma with added [1,2-3H]aldosterone is extracted with dichloromethane. Purification of the extract is achieved by thin later chromatography in
UNASSIGNED
Domperidone (DOM), a dopamine receptor antagonist, is used as antiemetic for the treatment of gastroparesis, vomiting, and nausea. The low water solubility of DOM leads to a low dissolution rate and variable bioavailability. The aim of this study was to enhance the solubility of DOM by
A 41-year-old male with a 25-year history of diabetes mellitus requiring 25 to 30 units of neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin daily was found dead at home. Recent history revealed that he was well until the last four days of life when he had the onset of nausea, vomiting, and anorexia
OBJECTIVE
To report the occurrence of hemorrhagic gastritis after topical isopropanol application in an infant.
METHODS
A 2-year-old Hispanic boy developed coffee-ground emesis during emergency department evaluation for lethargy and fever. After an initial inconclusive workup for sepsis, further
To explore and evaluate the safety and efficacy of early oral intake following major abdominal gynecological oncology surgery. During an 11-month period, 60 gynecological oncology patients undergoing major intra-abdominal surgery were enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial of semiliquid
A pregnant woman at 32 weeks of gestation was emergently admitted to our hospital with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and uterine contraction. Cardiotocogram demonstrated a loss of variability and late deceleration in fetal heart rate pattern. Emergency cesarean section was performed, and a male
When glucose utilisation is impaired due to decreased insulin effect, ketones are produced by the liver from free fatty acids to supply an alternate source of energy. This adaptation may be associated with severe metabolic acidosis and tends to occur in patients with type I (insulin-dependent)
BACKGROUND
Thyroid storm is a condition in which multiple organ dysfunction results from failure of the compensatory mechanisms of the body owing to excessive thyroid hormone activity induced by some factors in patients with thyrotoxicosis. While diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an important trigger
A previously healthy boy was admitted with fever, tachycardia, dyspnea, and was vomiting. A blood test showed a severe metabolic acidosis with pH 7.08 and an anion gap of 36 mmol/L. His urine had an odor of acetone. The serum glucose was 5.6 mmol/L, and no glucosuria was found. Diabetic ketoacidosis
In clinical medicine, severe keto- or lactic acidosis associated with vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, tachycardia or pathological respiration, has been described in chronic alcoholics. This study reports on fatalities of chronic alcoholics where the cause of death could not be determined by
BACKGROUND
Frequent causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) are lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis and impaired renal function. In this case report, a HAGMA caused by ketones, L- and D-lactate, acute renal failure as well as 5-oxoproline is discussed.
METHODS
A 69-year-old woman was admitted
