The U-shaped association between serum osmolality and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort study
BackgroundSepsis is a recognized global health challenge that places a considerable disease burden on countries. Although there has been some...

Serum electrolytes, osmolality, and cleansing quality after bowel prep for colonoscopy with a PEG solution containing ascorbic acid and electrolytes
BackgroundThe cleansing procedure with PEG 3350 + ascorbic acid (PEG + Asc; Moviprep®) requires the additional ingestion of clear liquids. We aimed...

The association of urine osmolality with decreased kidney function and/or albuminuria in the United States
BackgroundDecreased kidney function is commonly caused by hypovolemia. When hypovolemic, the kidney reabsorbs water resulting in concentrated urine....

Prognostic relevance of elevated plasma osmolality on admission in acute decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: insights from PURSUIT-HFpEF registry
BackgroundComplicated pathophysiology makes it difficult to identify the prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). While...

Intractable hyponatremia complicated by a reset osmostat: a case report
BackgroundHyponatremia associated with a low serum osmolality is a common and confounding electrolyte disorder. Correcting hyponatremia is also...

A rare presentation of central pontine myelinolysis secondary to hyperglycaemia
BackgroundCentral pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a rare demyelinating disorder caused by the loss of myelin in the center of the basis pontis. CPM...

A study on the early metabolic effects of salt and fructose consumption: the protective role of water
Increasing serum osmolality has recently been linked with acute stress responses, which over time can lead to increased risk for obesity,...
-
Comparison of measured and calculated osmolality levels
BackgroundSerum osmolality levels are measured to determine acid–base and electrolyte imbalance in serum. In cases where measurement is not possible,...

Relationship between serum sodium level at dialysis initiation and all-cause mortality
BackgroundHyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease. In addition, hyponatremia is associated with...

Altered arginine vasopressin-cyclic AMP-aquaporin 2 pathway in patients with chronic kidney disease
BackgroundIn the collecting ducts of the kidney, arginine vasopressin (AVP), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) play a...

Effects of normal saline versus isotonic balanced crystalloid on acid–base balance and renal functions in patients undergoing intracranial tumor resection surgeries
BackgroundNormal saline (NS) infusion in large volumes may result in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and renal compromise. Balanced crystalloid...

Evaluation of changes in serum biochemical parameters in zarudny’s spur-thighed tortoises (Testudo graeca zarudnyi) influenced by gender and season
BackgroundThe Zarudny’s spur-thighed tortoise or Iranian tortoise ( Testudo graeca zarudnyi ) has just been reported from Iran so far. Therefore, the...

Impact of serum sodium concentrations, and effect modifiers on mortality in the Irish Health System
BackgroundAbnormalities of serum sodium are associated with increased mortality risk in hospitalised patients, but it is unclear whether, and to what...
