When approaching the analysis of disorders of acid-base balance, physical chemists,
physiologists, and clinicians, tend to focus on different aspects of the relevant …

Intravenous fluid therapy can alter plasma acid‐base balance. The Stewart approach to acid‐
base balance is uniquely suited to identify and quantify the effects of the cationic and anionic …

Dogs with canine parvovirus enteritis (CPVE) that develop systemic inflammatory response
syndrome (SIRS) frequently have a poor prognosis. The aim of the study was to assess the …

“Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in science. They usually start as the most
plausible or comfortable interpretation of the available facts. But when their truth cannot be …
