INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in serum electrolytes during Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and to evaluate the degree of correlation of hyponatremia and the factors that affect the incidence of TURP syndrome and to show the impact of the duration of the procedure on the severity of hyponatremia due to absorption of irrigation fluid in the systemic circulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study examined 60 male patients planned for elective TURP...

Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome (SMMCI) syndrome is a unique developmental abnormality arising from an unknown event occurring between the 35th and 38th days in utero, and involving mieline structure of the head including the cranial bones, the maxilla and its container dentition (specifically the central incisor tooth germ), together with other midline structures of the body. The SMMCI tooth may be possibly occur as an isolated trait or in association with many other midline developmental anomalies...

The purpose of the studies was to assess the electrolyte concentration in blood serum of pregnant Wistar rats, in which pregnancy coexisted with adriamycin-induced nephrotic syndrome. The results displayed hiponatremia in serum blood of these female rats. After puerperium sodium concentration came to the level similar to that before pregnancy, in comparison to control. Hiponatremia could cause neurological complications, which in pregnancy could activate eclampsia.

20-years old man was admitted to the hospital because of a few paroxysmal muscle paralysis episodes with pronounced periodic hiperkalemia (maximal 9.8 mmol/l). The first episode was preceded by a very hard physical effort. Primary adrenal insufficiency was recognised on the basis of clinical, humoral and biochemical examinations. There was elevated ACTH and a very low serum level of cortisol and aldosterone. There was slight metabolic acidosis and hiponatremia. The patient was treated with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone acetate (Cortineff) with positive result...
