The aim of the study was a search of physiological approach to restoring osmotic homeostasis in rats with hypernatremia. Intraperitoneal administration of 1.8 ml/100 g BW 2.5% NaCl solution to Wistar rats induced hyperosmia (306 +/- 1 mOsm/kg H2O) and hypernatremia (150.3 +/- 0.3 mM in 60 min of experiment), increase in urinary sodium excretion (from 8 +/- 1 to 230 +/- 10 micromol/100 g BW for 2 h). Under these conditions enhancement of natriuresis up to 465 +/- 29 micromol/100 g BW and 667 +/- 24 micromol/100 g BW for 2 h was observed after injections of vasopressin analogue, deamino-vasotocin (dAVT, 0.05 microg/100 g BW), or loop diuretic, furosemide (1 mg/100 g BW), respectively. dAVT-induced natriuresis was accompanied by increase in solute-free water reabsorption; serum osmolality (301 +/- 1 mOsm/kg H2O) and sodium concentration (145.8 +/- 0.5 mM) were close to normal values by 60 min of experiment. Furosemide caused relatively greater excretion of water, than sodium; hypernatremia (150.2 +/- 0.4 mM) and hyperosmia (311 +/- 1 mOsm/kg H2O) persisted during 60 min of experiment. Thus, in rats with hypernatremia dAVT due to decrease in renal sodium reabsorption and increase in solute-free water reabsorption promotes recovery of serum osmolality and sodium concentration.

Objective: An incorrect diagnosis of arginine vasopressin deficiency and resistance (AVP-D and AVP-R) results in the potentially dangerous use of desmopressin in healthy individuals. The water deprivation test is a central diagnostic test in patients with polydipsia polyuria syndrome (PPS). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the current interpretation of reference ranges.

The negative effects of global warming also directly affect aquatic populations. Consequences such as evaporation due to chronic temperature increase, increase in salinity, and increase in stock density per unit volume are potential stress factors. While creating the trial design, an attempt was made to simulate the effects of global warming, especially on species living in salty and brackish water biotopes.

Short-term storage and management of sperm in vitro is an easy and economical process in which suitable extenders can be utilized to extend the storage period and prevent sperm function impairment. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of suitable extenders during the short-term storage of sterlet sperm and determine their fertilizing capacity and hatching success. Three extenders containing a composition of 16, 20, and 24 mM NaCl, 1 mM KCl, 0.

Background: Hydrogels, containing a large amount of water and exhibiting high biocompatibility, can improve the rheological properties of formulations and adhere well to the application site. In Poland, only 1 hydrogel substrate is currently approved for pharmaceutical compounding: Celugel, based on hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate how the variation in the raw material composition of Celugel-based hydrogels affects their osmotic pressure values and selected rheological properties.

Cytolytic vaginosis or, classically, Doderlein's cytolysis is characterized by significant growth of species of the genus, which leads to high amounts of lactic acid in the vaginal environment. has been proposed as a key pathogen in this clinical condition. The symptomatology of cytolytic vaginosis is commonly confused with that of vulvovaginal candidosis, leading to inadequate and ineffective azole therapies.
