THE VALUE OF HYDRATION AND ACETYLCYSTEINE IN THE PREVENTION OF CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC COMPLICATION OF THE PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS
Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a common complication of coronary angiography. There is no specific treatment once contrast induced acute renal failure develops, and management must be as for any cause of acute tubular necrosis, [...]
INCREASING SODIUM INTAKE FROM A PREVIOUS LOW OR HIGH INTAKE AFFECTS WATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID-BASE BALANCE DIFFERENTLY.
Contrasting data are published on the effects of high salt intake (between 300 and 660 mmol/d) on Na balance and fluid retention. In some studies high levels of NaCl intake (400, 440, 550 and 660 [...]
ICE SLURRY INGESTION INCREASES CORE TEMPERATURE CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME IN THE HEAT
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ice slurry ingestion on thermoregulatory responses and sub-maximal running time in the heat. METHODS:: On two separate occasions, in a counterbalanced order, ten males ingested 7.5 g.kg of either [...]
ESTIMATING THE RADON CONCENTRATION IN WATER AND INDOOR AIR.
The paper presents the results of radon concentration measurements in the vicinity of water, indoor air and in contact to building walls. The investigations were carried out using CR-39 track detectors. Samples of ground water [...]
