Abstract

Coronary arterial spasm observed during the course of two repeated anaesthesias in a patient having undergone aorto-femoral bypass grafting is reported by the authors. Such complications are accompanied by serious ventricular arrhythmias, though transient and healing without sequelae. Clinical and electrocardiographic characteristics of peroperative coronary arterial spasm are underlined. In patients prone to developing such spasm, peroperative alkalosis, hypothermia and parasympathetic stimuli should be avoided. Are emphasized the efficiency of preventive treatment with calcium antagonists and that of intravenous nitroglycerin in the treatment of peroperative coronary arterial spasm when it does occur.

A male patient with right-sided thoracic kidney, diabetes mellitus, hearing loss and renal dysfunction.

A 48-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hypertension was found to have a thoracic right-sided ectopic kidney with a sensorineuronal hearing loss and tubular abnormalities such as hyponatremia, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis with microalbuminuria. He was treated with ACEI and sodium and potassium supplements. However, this only partially corrected his metabolic abnormalities.

V-H+ -ATPase translocation during blood alkalosis in dogfish gills: interaction with carbonic anhydrase and involvement in the postfeeding alkaline tide.

We investigated the involvement of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in mediating V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in gills of alkalotic Squalus acanthias. Immunolabeling revealed that CA is localized in the same cells as V-H(+)-ATPase. Blood plasma from dogfish injected with acetazolamide [30 mg/kg at time (t) = 0 and 6 h] and infused with NaHCO(3) for 12 h (1,000 microeq.kg(-1).h(-1)) had significantly higher plasma HCO(3)(-) concentration than fish that were infused with NaHCO(3) alone (28.72 +/- 0.41 vs. 6.57 +/- 2.47 mmol/l, n = 3), whereas blood pH was similar in both treatments (8.03 +/- 0.11 vs. 8.04 +/- 0.11 pH units at t = 12 h). CA inhibition impaired V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane, as estimated from immunolabeled gill sections and Western blotting on gill cell membranes (0.24 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.00 +/- 0.28 arbitrary units, n = 3; P < 0.05). We investigated V-H(+)-ATPase translocation during a postfeeding alkalosis ("alkaline tide"). Gill samples were taken 24-26 h after dogfish were fed to satiety in a natural-like feeding regime. Immunolabeled gill sections revealed that V-H(+)-ATPase translocated to the basolateral membrane in the postfed fish. Confirming this result, V-H(+)-ATPase abundance was twofold higher in gill cell membranes of the postfed fish than in fasted fish (n = 4-5; P < 0.05). These results indicate that 1) intracellular H(+) or HCO(3)(-) produced by CA (and not blood pH or HCO(3)(-)) is likely the stimulus that triggers the V-H(+)-ATPase translocation into the basolateral membrane in alkalotic fish and 2) V-H(+)-ATPase translocation is important for enhanced HCO(3)(-) secretion during a naturally occurring postfeeding alkalosis.

Serum biochemical abnormalities in goats with uroliths: 107 cases (1992-2003).

OBJECTIVE: To characterize serum biochemical abnormalities in goats with uroliths. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control series. ANIMALS: 107 male goats with uroliths and 94 male goats with various nonrenal diseases (controls). PROCEDURES: For male goats, results of serum biochemical analyses collected from 1992 through 2003 were retrieved from computerized records, as were signalment, clinical diagnoses, and discharge status. Results of analyses for BUN, creatinine, phosphorus, calcium, Na, K, Cl, total CO2, anion gap, and glucose were compared between goats with uroliths and control goats. RESULTS: Goats with uroliths had higher mean BUN, creatinine, total CO2, K, and glucose concentrations and lower mean phosphorus, Na, and Cl concentrations than control goats, with no difference in mean calcium concentration and anion gap. Goats with uroliths had higher frequency of azotemia, hypophosphatemia, hypochloridemia, and increased total CO2 and lower frequency of decreased total CO2 than control goats. Urolithiasis occurred more frequently in castrated males than in sexually intact males and in dwarf African breeds than in other breeds. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Goats with uroliths often had hypophosphatemia at admission. Hypochloridemic metabolic alkalosis was the most common acid-base disorder. Rupture in the urinary tract system was associated with increased prevalence of hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. Clinicians should be aware of these abnormalities when determining fluid therapy.
