Blood osmolality is considered the gold standard hydration assessment, but has limited application for technical and invasive reasons. Paired antecubital-venous blood and fingertip-capillary blood were collected pre- and 30 min post-drinking 600 mL water in 55 male/female participants. No bias (0.2 mOsmo/kg, limits of agreement = -2.5 to 2.8 mOsmo/kg) was found between sampling methods, with high linear correlation (Spearman's = 0.95, < 0.001). Capillary blood sampling offers an accurate less-invasive method for determining serum osmolality than venous blood sampling.

Background: This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of serum osmolality within the first 72 h for patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) in the MIMIC-IV and eICU-CRD databases and assess their impact on mortality and adverse clinical outcomes.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with SAE from the MIMIC-IV database were included. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to categorize distinct patterns of serum osmolality changes over 72 h in ICU patients.

Metabolic acidosis (MA) is common in daily clinical settings and requires evaluation not only by serum anion gap (AG) but also by urine AG (UAG) and urine osmolal gap (UOG) to investigate potential causes and determine appropriate treatment. Herein, we report an educational case of non-gap (normal AG) MA (pH 7.16, HCO 8.

The point of our study was to examine the interaction of ammonia-N poisoning and salinity on serum enzymes and oxidative stress factors of blood and liver in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The 50% lethal concentration (LC) in 96 h was 0.86 mg/L of ammonia-N.

Article Synopsis
- Neonatal calf diarrhea frequently leads to dehydration and metabolic acidosis, impacting calf mortality, growth, and productivity, prompting interest in technological disease detection.
- The study explored the relationship between saliva conductivity and pH with clinical and biochemical indicators in calves, assessing the health of 141 dairy-bred calves from one week old until 25 days or until they developed diarrhea.
- Results indicated that while saliva pH decreased in calves with diarrhea, saliva conductivity showed no correlation with diarrhea or dehydration, highlighting the complexity of hydration status assessments in these animals.
