Objectives To assess which osmolarity equation best predicts directly measured serum/plasma osmolality and whether its use could add value to routine blood test results through screening for ...

We demonstrate that regulations of osmolyte production and cell wall synthesis allow cells to adapt to a broad range of external osmolarity with a threshold value above which cells cannot grow, ...

fluorescens can form biofilms on an abiotic surface when grown on a range of nutrients; (ii) protein synthesis is required for the early events of biofilm formation; (iii) one (or more) ...

Gut health can impact everything - from mood and weight management to mental health and the risk of various diseases. A ...

Interestingly, a bolus of 23.4% NaCl does not cause considerable increases in serum osmolarity or serum sodium levels. This therapy can be administered even if serum sodium levels are at high end ...

There has been a lot of information on the internet and in lay publications about possible health threats from ingredients in skin care products. As health care providers, we should be able to ...

Upon dynamic loading, this creates an environment that induces oscillations in ion flow and leads to dynamic changes in local osmolarity and streaming potentials, both of which can regulate ion ...

Special circumstances must be considered for plateau dwellers, such as Tibetans, mountaineers, and garrison officers, who are exposed to low humidity, strong ultraviolet rays, cold and dry weather, ...

This study provides valuable evidence for the mechanism underlying KCNC1-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The authors have generated and characterized a new knock-in mouse with a ...
