Abstract A multiple automatic analyzer has been constructed which determines albumin, total protein, chloride, carbon dioxide, sodium, potassium, glucose, and urea nitrogen. The results for each of these 8 determinations are obtained in sequence for an individual sample and are recorded on a single sheet of paper. The entire system is calibrated by means of a standard solution containing all 8 of the components under test. Results appear on the record in a directly readable and immediately usable form. The actual record is used as the laboratory report sent to the requesting physician.

Channel Analyzer

Abstract A 10-channel analyzer is described with which sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, calcium, phosphorus, total protein, albumin, albumin blank, and uric acid levels may be determined simultaneously. Operating at the rate of 60 specimens per hour, the instrument uses less than 1 ml. of serum for all 10 determinations. The results appear on 5 two-pen recorders. The report describes the instrument, its operating characteristics, modification of the sampler module to enable sampling from test tubes, a manual system of rapid data-handling, and the system employed for nearly anaerobic sample-handling.

Abstract Serum values were determined on 60 premature infants whose birth weights ranged from 1500 to 1750 gm. At 1 week of age each infant was placed into one of six categories and given a feeding schedule according to a predetermined formula sequence and arrangement. Three formulas varying in mineral, caloric, and protein concentrations were used. Analyses for sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, phosphorus, total protein, albumin, calcium, and urea nitrogen were carried out on blood drawn at 1, 3, 5, and 7 weeks of age. A comparison of levels during the same age period among the experimental groups was made.

Abstract In an experiment comparing the clinical chemical data obtained for incoming hospital patients from samples of blood submitted to the routine laboratory and from samples analyzed automatically, a multichannel analyzer was employed. The constituents determined, chosen on the basis of the frequency with which they were ordinarily requested, were glucose, urea, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide content, calcium, phosphorus, total protein, albumin, and uric acid. In a significant fraction of the patients admitted at three different hospitals the profile of admission chemical determinations indicated abnormal values which had not been sought by the physician and which often were of direct help to him and benefit to the patient.

The distribution of sodium-potassium adenosine triposphatase (Na-K-ATPase) activity in kidney sections has been studied by a method based on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in alkaline medium containing dimethyl sulfoxide. The products at each stage in the reaction sequence have been subjected to electron probe microanalysis. The initial product was identified as a mixture of KMgPO4 and Mg(PO4)2, and sequential analysis demonstrated the linearity of conversion of this product to a visible form. In human, rabbit and rat kidneys the distribution of activity was found to be essentially identical, with highest levels located in thick ascending limbs and distal convoluted tubules. The initial reaction was completely potassium dependent and was inhibited by ouabain in concentrations reflecting the relative sensitivity of microsomal Na-K-ATPase in each species. Measurement of initial product phosphorus by means of the electron probe is presented as a practical technique for direct quantitation of Na-K-ATPase activity in identified tubule segments.

Renal Excretory Function

Administration of Diamox by ingestion or injection to adult fasting female dogs consistently produced an acute increase of approximately 1 mg % in the plasma concentration of calcium. At the same time there was an increase in the plasma phosphate and chloride concentration and a decrease in total plasma content of carbon dioxide of Diamox-infused dogs. Diamox did not affect the plasma concentration of calcium, chloride or bicarbonate if renal excretory function was abolished prior to its administration. Infusion of Diamox produced a prompt rise in the urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, citrate, chloride and water in fasting female dogs. The effect of Diamox on the fasting concentration of calcium rendered unsatisfactory the interpretation of data concerned with a study of its effect on the disappearance of injected calcium. However, intravenous injection of small amounts of sodium carbonate was found to produce a definite delay in the rate of disappearance of injected calcium.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes in electrolyte concentrations and hydration status that take place in endurance horses prior to the start of a competition and determine whether these changes would be associated with elimination. ANIMALS 19 horses entered in the 2016 Tevis Cup 100-Miles (160 km) One-Day Western States Trail Ride. PROCEDURES Heparinized blood samples were collected at 5 time points: prior to transport to the ride (T0), during check-in the day before the ride (T1), 1 to 2 hours before the start of the ride (T2), at the 15-km mark (T3), and at the 55-km mark (T4). Packed cell volume and plasma sodium, potassium, chloride, urea nitrogen, glucose, bicarbonate, and total protein concentrations were determined and compared across time points and between finishers and nonfinishers. RESULTS Signif icant differences were detected among plasma sodium, potassium, and urea nitrogen concentrations measured prior to the start of the ride (ie, T0, T1, and T2). For all variables except chloride and bicarbonate concentrations, significant differences were detected between values obtained prior to the start of the ride and values obtained during the ride (ie, T3 and T4). Only bicarbonate concentration at the 15-km mark of the ride was significantly associated with finishing status. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that significant changes in plasma sodium, potassium, and urea nitrogen concentrations can occur in endurance horses during transport to a competition and when horses are stabled overnight before an event. Additionally, a lower bicarbonate concentration following a steep climb early during the ride was associated with subsequent elimination.

Repeatability And Reproducibility

Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion is one of the most dangerous types of destruction of metal products in the oil and gas industry. The field steel pipelines and tubing run the highest risk. Laboratory tests are carried out to assess the resistance of steels to carbon dioxide corrosion. However, unified requirements for certain test parameters are currently absent in the regulatory documentation. We present the results of studying the effect of the parameters of laboratory tests on the assessment of the resistance of steels to CO2 corrosion. It is shown that change in the parameters of CO2 concentration, chemical composition of the water/brine system, the buffer properties and pH, the roughness of the sample surface, etc., even in the framework of the same laboratory technique, can lead in different test results. The main contribution to the repeatability and reproducibility of test results is made by the concentration of CO2, pH of the water/brine system, and surface roughness of the samples. The results obtained can be used in developing recommendations for the choice of test parameters to ensure a satisfactory convergence of the results gained in different laboratories, as well as in elaborating of a unified method for assessing the resistance of steels to carbon dioxide corrosion.

Proportional Controller

Mathematical models of the CO2 responsive controller for ventillatory responses to CO2 inhaled and to CO2 introduced in the perpheral tissues are formulated in the context of a controlled system that is a compartmented tissue system with a lung undergoing breathing movements. Equations representing the system are either ordinary difference-differential equations or algebraic equations. If the controller contains three components simulating, respectively, a proportional controller with a set point, a mechanism sensitive to trans-membrane CO2 gradients, and a mechanism responsive to the autocovariance difference in arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) about 1.2 s apart; and if the neural tissues produce CO2 as a result of their own activity (positive feedback), the entire system responds to metabolic production of CO2 by increasing ventilation in proportion to metabolism while maintaining a constant PaCO2. The same system responds to inhaled CO2 mixtures with ventilation increasing in proportion to increases in PaCO2. The behavior of the model is used to postulate a spatiotemporal hypothesis for the humoral component of respiratory regulation of CO2 exchanges.
