must be avoided. A classic example of hyponatremia coexisting with hypovotremia is Addison’s disease where cortisol deficiency leads to ADH excess and hyponatremia but mineralocorticoid deficiency simultaneously leads to sodium loss and hypovolemia. The latter subjects are not dehydrates‚ on the contrary they are over-hydrated (from free water retention due to ADH excess). Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat

The fluoride controversy doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon and a grassroots organization called Secure Arkansas wants the chemical out of our drinking water. The group recently delivered signed affidavits to the governor’s office saying it can’t find proof of a study that was used to enact the fluoride mandate was ever conducted. Fluoride has been the subject of great debate between those who believe we need fluoride in our water to help prevent tooth decay and those who say it’s a toxic

ABSTRACT: Availability‚ low price‚ and high degree of reduction have made glycerol a highly attractive and exploited carbon source for the production of fuels and reduced chemicals. Here we report the quantitative analysis of the fermentative metabolism of glycerol in Escherichia coli through the use of kinetic modeling and metabolic control analysis (MCA) to gain a better understanding of glycerol fermentation and identify key targets for genetic manipulation that could enhance product synthesis

Management of defects in water homeostasis in the elderly is often difficult because of age related changes and diseases that are associated with impairment of water metabolism. The feeling of thirst is often impaired in the elderly (Kugler‚ 2000). Hyponatremia is a serum sodium concentration of less than the
