New research shows that febrile seizures in children may be linked to respiratory alkalosis, indicated by elevated blood pH and low carbon dioxide levels caused by hyperventilation, and independent of ...
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a single dose of sodium bicarbonate given during neonatal resuscitation at birth on the acid–base status on the first day of life. SETTING: Tertiary care Level III ...
Background: In vitro data suggest that lower extracellular pH activates the immune system. We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid–base status and inflammation.
To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...
Dietary acid reduction by consuming produce or using sodium bicarbonate improves acid-base status and helps protect the kidneys in patients with early-stage CKD. Reducing dietary acid load helps ...
