To describe the epidemiology, treatment and monitoring of treatment outcomes of patients presenting to the ED with hyperkalaemia. We undertook a retrospective observational study in a mixed adult/paediatric ED over five 3-month periods. Consecutive patients were included if they had an initial serum or blood gas potassium ≥6.0 mmol/L. Patients were...

Na+ and K+ balance is influenced by the activity of the sodium chloride cotransporter NCC in the distal convoluted tubule. NCC activity and abundance are reduced by high extracellular K+. The E3 ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4–2 (Nedd4-2) has been proposed as a modulator of NCC abundance. Here, we ex...

Postmortem chemical transformation of bone bioapatite can take place during early diagenesis, resulting in a more thermodynamically stable mineral phase. This paper examines the impact of a one year postmortem interval on unburnt and burnt bone's structural and chemical alterations. This question is of importance for the reconstruction of funerary ...

Holotrichous ciliates, like Paramecium, swim through their aqueous environment by beating their many cilia. They can alter swimming speed and direction, which seems to have mesmerized early microscopists of the 1600s. We know from extensive and elegant physiological studies and generation of mutants that these cells can be considered little swimmin...

The thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC), expressed in the renal distal convoluted tubule, plays a major role in Na+, Cl- and K+ homeostasis and blood pressure as exemplified by the symptoms of patients with non-functional NCC and Gitelman syndrome. NCC activity is modulated by a variety of hormones, but is also influenced by the ...

While participating in an intensive training process, the athlete’s body requires not only energy, but also specific macro- and microelements. The purpose of this study was to show the meaning of monitoring the level of mineral trace elements in athletes-wrestlers during physical activity. As an experimental group, 66 male wrestlers aged 18-20 year...

Potassium (K+) is essential for crop growth. Increasing the K+ content can often directly promote the improvement of crop yield and quality. Heterosis plays an important role in genetic improvement and leads to genetic gains. We found that the K+ content of tobacco showed significant heterosis, which is highly significant for cultivating tobacco va...

Neuronal type-specific physiologic heterogeneity can be driven by both extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms. In retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which carry visual information from the retina to central targets, evidence suggests intrinsic properties shaping action potential (AP) generation significantly impact the responses of RGCs to visual stimuli. ...

The excess sodium (Na) intake and insufficient potassium (K) intake are frequently observed all over the world, including Indonesia. This study explored the dietary patterns of Indonesian people and evaluated their associations with Na and K intakes. Na and K intakes were assessed by repeated 24-h urine collection. The dietary patterns of the previ...
