It is commonly assumed that changes in plasma strong ion difference (SID) result in equal changes in whole blood base excess (BE). However, at varying pH, albumin ionic-binding and transerythrocyte shifts alter the SID of plasma without affecting that of whole blood (SID), i.e.

Article Synopsis
- The authors discuss two monozygotic male twins diagnosed with right-sided Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) who exhibit different formations of their lumbosacral junction.
- While both twins were treated for LCPD during childhood, Twin A has a fusion of the L5 transverse process with the sacral ala, whereas Twin B has complete sacralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra.
- Despite this morphological difference, the twins' treatment outcomes align with larger studies, indicating that the age of LCPD onset is crucial for prognosis.
Background: Several studies explored the interdependence between Paco2 and bicarbonate during respiratory acid-base derangements. The authors aimed to reframe the bicarbonate adaptation to respiratory disorders according to the physical-chemical approach, hypothesizing that (1) bicarbonate concentration during respiratory derangements is associated with strong ion difference; and (2) during acute respiratory disorders, strong ion difference changes are not associated with standard base excess.
Methods: This is an individual participant data meta-analysis from multiple canine and human experiments published up to April 29, 2021.
