New research shows that febrile seizures in children may be linked to respiratory alkalosis, indicated by elevated blood pH and low carbon dioxide levels caused by hyperventilation, and independent of ...

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a single dose of sodium bicarbonate given during neonatal resuscitation at birth on the acid–base status on the first day of life. SETTING: Tertiary care Level III ...

To examine the effects of low-carbohydrate, ketogenic (LCKD) and low-fat (LFD) diets on acid-base status. Subset of 39 volunteers from a randomized trial comparing the effects of an LCKD with an LFD, ...

Blood gas testing has improved over the years thanks to advances in technology. 60 years ago, blood gas testing meant determining pO 2, pCO 2 and pH levels. What is blood gas testing today? This ...

Background: In vitro data suggest that lower extracellular pH activates the immune system. We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid–base status and inflammation.

Dietary acid reduction by consuming produce or using sodium bicarbonate improves acid-base status and helps protect the kidneys in patients with early-stage CKD. Reducing dietary acid load helps ...

Respiratory gas transport, acid-base state, and ionic status of Hemigrapsus nudus before, during, and after 24 h of emersion from 10° C water were determined in the laboratory at two air temperatures ...

Blood gas and acid-base status in the purple shore crab, Hemigrapsus nudus (Dana), was determined before, during, and after 3 h of exposure to water with a PO₂ of 20 mmHg. The ventilatory, circulatory ...

To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...
