The postoperative delirium picture is a serious and common complication seen after any major surgery, including hepatic resection. Delirium is an acute state of confusion characterized by impaired consciousness, reduced ability to focus on attention, changes in cognitive functions, a perceptual
Alterations of acid-base equilibrium are very common in critically ill patients and understanding their pathophysiology can be important to improve clinical treatment.
The human body is protected against acid-base disorders by several compensatory mechanisms that minimize pH variations in response
The reduction in plasma PCO2 correlates with gestational age and was shown to be associated to plasma progesterone concentrations. We hypothesize that pregnancy-related haemodilution, inducing a reduction in CSF Strong Ion Difference (SID), might have a role in the development of pregnancy-related
REVIEW OF LITERATURE The ideal prime for Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) has never been fully established. The development of acid-base disorders during some routine cases and the possible contribution to this from priming fluids caused this hospital to question its protocol.

I. Introduction / Specific Aims Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal mortality (15-20 % in developed countries) and acute and long-term morbidity for the mother and newborn. It is a multi-system disorder characterised by abnormal vascular response to placentation, associated with increased
Studies evaluating acid/base imbalances are scarce in pre-eclamptics, and tools to thoroughly evaluate them are lacking. The detection of metabolic acidosis has been proposed as a diagnostic criterion for a severe disease state8, 11, however other studies entirely reject the presence of any
- Fat oxidation (13C-enrichment in expiration breath samples for U-C13-algae turnover)
- Growth markers (plasma levels of IgF-1, IgF-BP3, leptin)
- Biochemical markers of anabolism (plasma levels of total protein, albumin, transferrin)
- Serum thyroid function (fT3, fT4, TSH)
- Serum lipid status

Background: Hypochloremic hypovolemic metabolic alkalosis contributes to hypercapnia in acute exacerbations of cystic fibrosis. Treatment of the metabolic alkalosis with volume and sodium chloride (NaCl) replacement could reduce hypoventilation and hypercapnia, thereby improving symptoms, sleep
Study Design: A six week, open-label, flexible dosing study using quetiapine. Subjects who qualify at Screening will then proceed to the baseline visit. If all inclusion and exclusion criteria are met, subjects will be administered quetiapine at the baseline visit. Enrollment will be 15 subjects.
