In a crude oil contract, a one-cent move is equal to $10. When determining NYMEX's crude oil profit and loss figures, you calculate the difference between the contract price and the exit price, and then multiply the result by $10.
The hypothesis is that strict fluid restriction leads to a larger increase in plasma sodium than standard treatment in patients with decompensated heart failure associated with hyponatremia. A secondary hypothesis is that the neurohormonal change is greater in patients treated with strict fluid restriction versus standard treatment.
Hyponatremia is defined as a serum sodium concentration lower than 136 mmol/L. It can result from a particular laboratory technique or from improper blood collection, excessively high water intake, or, most commonly, an inability of the kidneys to excrete free water (see later, âPathophysiology and Natural Historyâ).s water enters the brain cells during acute hyponatremia, there is a loss of intracellular sodium and potassium in an attempt to prevent further water entry. Over the next several days, additional osmolytes are lost from the brain (e.g., inositol).
