Hyponatremia is an important electrolyte abnormality with the potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Common causes include medications and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion. Hyponatremia can be classified according to the volume status of the patient as hypovolemic, hypervolemic, or euvolemic.
Design-assist can be implemented on nearly any construction project regardless of type or size. Its benefits include improvements in design efficiency, cost management, speed to market, and constructability. DA is best leveraged when early engagement of certain subcontractors is most beneficial for the project.
ICPI Tech Spec 10 3DJH joints enables applied loads to be spread in a manner similar to asphalt, reducing the stresses on the base and subgrade. Benefits: As interlocking concrete pavements receive traffic, they stiffen and increase their structural capacity over time. The structural contribution of the interlocking pavers and sand layer can exceed that of an equivalent thickness of asphalt. The interlock contributes to the structural performance of the pavement system. ICPI Tech Spec 4 provides additional information on structural design of the pavers, sand, and base. ICPI takes a conser - vative approach by not recognizing differences among shapes with respect to structural and functional perfor - mance. Certain manufacturers may have materials and data that discuss the potential benefits of shapes that
