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.
In this way, BIM facilitates evaluation of many more design alternatives. As part of the design process, civil engineers can leverage the information model to conduct simulation and analysis to optimize the design for objectives such as constructability, sustainability, and road safety.hile it has its roots in architecture, the principles of BIM apply to everything that is built, includ-ing roads and highways.
