Abstract
Etiopathogenesis, diagnostics and therapy of hyponatremias are summarized for clinicians. Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality. Mild to moderate hyponatremia and severe hyponatremia are found in 15-30% and 1-4% of hospitalized patients, respectively. Pathophysiologically, hyponatr...

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the frequency of endodontic flare-ups using a visual analogue scale. Definitions of flare-ups vary widely as does their reported frequency. A flare-up was defined as an increase of 20 or more points on the visual analogue scale for a given tooth, within...

Abstract
A rapid, specific, and sensitive procedure for determining residues of 4 widely used tetracycline antibiotics and 3 of their 4-epimers in cheese is presented. The method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) technique followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/M...

Abstract
We examined iliac crest cortical bone from 97 B (49 male, 48 female) aged 22-80 and 111 W (60 male, 51 female) aged 21-84 histomorphometrically for differences between B and W and effects of age. B had thicker (P = 0.02) and less porous (P = 0.0007) cortices, fewer haversian (H) osteons (P < 0.0001)...

Abstract
Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder among hospitalized patients and has been associated with increased mortality. Most patients are asymptomatic, but many do present with symptoms, usually of a generalized neurologic nature. Based-on medical history, physical examination (including volume-...

Abstract
We have shown an altered response of osteocytes from osteoporotic patients to mechanical loading, and osteocyte density is reduced in osteoporotic patients, which might relate to imperfect bone remodeling, leading to lack of bone mass and strength. Hence, information on osteocyte density will contri...

Abstract
We examined the protective properties of chlortetracycline (CTC) and demeclocycline (DMC) and showed that these two tetracyclines were also potent neuroprotective against glutamate-induced neuronal death in vitro and cerebral ischemia in vivo. However, CTC and DMC appeared to confer neuroprotection...

The secondary metabolite 6-demethylchlortetracycline (6-DCT), which is produced by Streptomyces aureofaciens, is used as a precursor of semisynthetic tetracyclines. Strains that produce 6-DCT also produce a melanin-like pigment (MP). The correlation between MP production and 6-DCT production was inv...
