Arterial blood gas analysis and lactate
No full textIt has long been recognized that a disturbance of the homeostatic mechanisms controlling the body's acid-base balance is associated with an increased risk of organ dysfunction and death in the critically ill patient. Despite acid-base imbalance being an integral aspect of ongoing pathologic processes in a large number critically ill patients, the importance of understanding the fundamental principals behind the physiology has been largely ignored. Measurement of the standard bicarbonate and base excess have been used for decades as indicators of metabolic acid-base disturbances. These techniques, however, are dependent upon normal electrolyte, water, and albumin content in the patients. Needless to say, these conditions are rarely met in the critically ill patient, and estimations of the degree of metabolic disturbance may be, therefore, inaccurate. The anion gap has been proposed to give a better indication as to the origin of the metabolic upset. However, this measurement is still reliant upon normal albumin and PCO2 levels. Serum lactate levels have been used as a prognostic marker in the critically ill with some degree of success, but the metabolism of lactate is complex and incompletely understood. The belief that lactates can be accurately used as a stand-alone marker of outcome and mortality is thus naive. More recently, quantitative studies on acid-base imbalance have shown that three independent variables determine the hydrogen and bicarbonate ion concentrations in complex solutions such as plasma. These principles have been developed such that estimates of metabolic derangement can be made in the critically ill without making incorrect assumptions about albumin and free water concentrations. These newer techniques may give improved insights as to the origins to the acid-base disturbances seen in the critically ill and thus aid therapy. (C) 2000 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, Inc.</p
Optimizing electron backscatter diffraction of carbonate biominerals—resin type and carbon coating
No full textElectron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is becoming a widely used technique to determine crystallographic orientation in biogenic carbonates. Despite this use, there is little information available on preparation for the analysis of biogenic carbonates. EBSD data are compared for biogenic aragonite and calcite in the common blue mussel, <i>Mytilus edulis</i>, using different types of resin and thicknesses of carbon coating. Results indicate that carbonate biomineral samples provide better EBSD results if they are embedded in resin, particularly epoxy resin. A uniform layer of carbon of 2.5 nm thickness provides sufficient conductivity for EBSD analyses of such insulators to avoid charging without masking the diffracted signal. Diffraction intensity decreases with carbon coating thickness of 5 nm or more. This study demonstrates the importance of optimizing sample preparation for EBSD analyses of insulators such as carbonate biominerals

Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe
