Does soy-containing diet suppress chronic neuropathic sensory disorders in rats?
Levels of chronic sensory disorders in a rat model of allodynia and hyperalgesia after partial sciatic nerve ligation depend on the consumption of a soy-containing diet. Further studies are needed to determine the role of diet in humans with chronic pain.
Dysnatremia was common in surgical ICU patients and was independently associated with an increased risk of in-hospital death in these patients. Dysnatremia at ICU admission was associated with a higher risk of death compared with ICU-acquired dysnatremia. Fluctuations in serum sodium concentrations were independently associated with an increased risk of in-hospital death, even in patients who remained normonatremic during the ICU stay.
