Objectives: To determine the relationship between ambient air temperature and the incidence of hyponatraemia in a heat-prone region.
Design And Setting: We conducted a retrospective study that correlated serum sodium concentrations documented at The Austin Hospital in Melbourne over ten years from January 2014 to December 2023, with publicly available temperature data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Main Outcome Measures: Serum sodium concentrations and incidence of hyponatraemia admissions when correlated to temperature, and following heatwave events, defined as temperature above 30°C over five consecutive days.
The use of dissolving metal electrodes for the direct electrochemical synthesis of metal complexes has been used widely in the last decade. A major benefit of the electrochemical approach is the minimal by-products resulting from the synthesis. As such, metal complexes can be produced on-demand and used directly in catalysis without the need for purification.
