HYPONATRAEMIA IN THE NEUROSURGICAL PATIENT INTRODUCTION Sodium the most abundant electrolyte in the human body‚ and therefore the osmolality of body fluids is strongly dependent on its concentration. Osmolality in turn is important in maintaining homeostasis within the brain. Ironically‚ dysfunction of the brain can cause changes in sodium homeostasis. To avoid neurological deterioration‚ morbidity or mortality the sodium level must be corrected promptly. The two most common causes of hyponatraemia

“DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE USED BY BACTERIAL PATHOGENS TO EVADE HOST ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDES AND PHAGOCYTES” The mammalian immune system has two major components; the innate and the adaptive immune system. The innate system is usually the first line of defence and it acts as a strong roadblock to invading bacterial pathogens through direct mechanisms such as inflammation‚ phagocytosis‚ complement system activation‚ antibacterial peptides and indirectly by activating adaptive response through

Based on these changes which are recorded‚ an examiner can detect if a person is being truthful or lying. The physiological basis of the EDA is that sweat glands will increase secretion based on somatic sensory stimulus‚ for example touch‚ pain‚ pressure‚ and will cause a change in emotion. The increase secretion (sweat) is generally small‚ however it lowers the electrical resistance of the skin since seat contains water and electrolytes. Both of these increase the skins electrical conductivity

melatonin which is considered to regulate the biological clock in humans‚ as it helps the brain to synchronise to daylight. The parathyroid gland is an extension of the thyroid gland‚ though this produced a separate hormone named parathormone. This secretion aids with the distribution of calcium and phosphate throughout the body with is essential for good bone formation‚ growth and repair. The thymus is a gland that produces the hormone thymosin. This particular hormone is especially important to the
