Abstract
The present invention relates to process for controlling water and electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium, and particularly to process for controlling water and electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium supervening metabolic acidosis due to burn injury, hemorrhagic shock, multiple organ failure, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and so on. By administering the preparation containing sodium bicarbonate as an alkalizing agent of the present invention, the acidosis correction effect is exhibited immediately after the start of the infusion and disappeared quickly by demedication. And therefore, the preparation of the present invention can be administered safely without inducing metabolic alkalosis during infusion and alkalosis after the infusion. The preparation of the present invention also has no problem with hypernatremia. The controlling water and electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium, and particularly to process for controlling water and electrolyte balance can be done by administering the preparation containing bicarbonate at a rate of 2 to 60 mL/kg/hour.
Abstract
An image pickup apparatus which can carry out proper white balance adjustment even at the time of bounce flash shooting. A white balance adjusting circuit uses a first correction value calculated based on shot image data as a white balance correction value when it is detected that no light has been emitted from the light emitting device, and uses a second correction value for shooting with light emission as the white balance correction value when it is detected that light has been emitted from the light emitting device. The white balance adjusting circuit uses a third correction value different from the second correction value as the white balance correction value, when a white balance photography determining section detects that the bounce flash photography has been carried out.
Abstract
A balance beam assembly comprising a connecting base having upper and lower planar surfaces, a plurality of elongated balance beam sections and a plurality of supporting bases adapted to be positioned beneath each balance beam section. Each balance beam section is integrally attached to one another in a step relationship and rotatably secured to one another with at least one of the balance beam sections rotatably attached to the connecting base. |
