Background: The strong ion model (SIM) is an alternative paradigm in the characterization of acid-base disturbances particularly in complex disorders.

Hypothesis/objectives: To compare the acid-base changes in dogs with parvoviral enteritis (PE) using the Henderson-Hasselbalch (HH) approach, with 2 strong ion approaches.

Animals: Forty-four dogs with PE, and 16 age-matched control dogs.

Methods: Prospective controlled observational study. Acid-base status was evaluated using the HH model, Fencl-Stewart (FS) approach and a validated strong ion model (VDM). The acid-base changes according to each model were classified and compared. Statistical correlations between pH, CO , and various SIM variables were performed, as well as between the sum of effects (SOE) of the SIM and the individual variables comprising the SOE.

Results: The HH model identified acid-base disorders in 31/44 cases of which 16/31 were mixed with metabolic acidosis and concurrent respiratory alkalosis the most common (10/31). Using the FS approach, metabolic changes were present 36/42 cases, with changes in free water (FW), chloride, and unmeasured anions (UA) being the most prevalent. Both FW and UA correlated well with pH; however, UA were most consistently abnormal in severe acidemia. Similarly to the HH, the VDM detected acid-base disturbances in 28/44 cases. Major contributors to the acid-base changes were hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and A acidosis because of elevated globulins and increased UA.

Conclusions And Clinical Importance: Acid-base changes are common and complex in dogs with PE, and were easier to understand using a SIM paradigm. Increases in UA have not been documented in PE in dogs.

This study aims to improve our understanding of acute ischemic stroke clot imaging by integrating CT attenuation information with MRI susceptibility signal of thrombi. For this proof-of-principle experimental study, fifty-seven clot analogs were produced using ovine venous blood with a broad histological spectrum. Each clot analog was analyzed to determine its RBC content and chemical composition, including water, Fe III, sodium, pH, and pO2.

Article Synopsis
  • Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is crucial for diagnosing critical conditions in patients, and misinterpretation can lead to serious management issues.
  • A study conducted at Aswan University Hospitals involved 273 healthcare professionals and assessed their ABG interpretation skills before and after targeted educational interventions over two weeks.
  • Results indicated significant improvements, with accuracy in interpreting ABG results increasing from 71.8% to 90.2% and enhanced skills in identifying acid-base disturbances and distinguishing between respiratory and metabolic issues.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the compositional changes of new particle formation in the nucleation and initial growth stages of acid-base systems (2 and 5 nm) are extremely challenging. This study proposes a machine learning method for predicting the composition change of the sulfuric acid-dimethylamine system in the transformation from monomer to nanoparticle by learning the structure and composition information on small-sized sulfuric acid (SA)-dimethylamine (DMA) molecular clusters. Based on this method and changes in components, we found that the sulfuric acid-dimethylamine growth was mainly through the alternate adsorption of (SA)(DMA), (SA)(DMA), and (SA) clusters at the early stage of nucleation, which accounted for about 70, 20, and 10%, respectively.

Background: To evaluate the influence of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution (BRS) combined with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the internal environment in patients who have undergone laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Methods: A total of 128 patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly divided into the control group (group C), the PEEP group (group P), the BRS group (group B), and the BRS combined with the PEEP group (group BP). The results of arterial blood gas analysis, including pH value, base excess (BE), concentrations of electrolyte, and lactate (Lac) were documented before intravenous infusion (T0) and 5 min after the surgery (T1).

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.
