Thomas Jay Oord, a Christian philosopher and theologian, argues that Christians should abandon the doctrine of creation ex nihilo. Oord points to the work of biblical scholars such as Jon D. Levenson, who points out that the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo does not appear in Genesis.
Solutions with an electrolyte content of 375 mEq/L or more are considered hypertonic. Hypertonic solutions are infused to treat patients who have severe hyponatremia. Depending on the type of hypertonic fluid infused, it can provide patients with calories, free water, and some electrolytes. Examples of hypertonic solutions are dextrose 10% in water (D10W) and dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride (D5NS). Because hypertonic solutions can be extremely irritating to the patientâs veins, some must only be infused through a central line.
What Is Dextrose? Dextrose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in many foods such as honey and fruit. The more complex carbohydrates in other foods must be broken down into dextrose in the body before they can be used to provide energy for optimal functioning of the human body and brain. Dextrose and glucose are not the same. Dextrose is a monosaccharide glucose that occurs naturally in a very pure form. Because it has a very high glycemic index, dextrose can be absorbed and used very quickly by the body. For this reason, many athletes use dextrose to quickly replace the glycogen stores in the muscles which are depleted during exercise.
