Deprivation, signs

Apparently inconsistency of vanadium deprivation signs is related to the fact that vanadium metabolism is sensitive to changes in the composition of the diet (44). Perhaps diet composition affects the form of dietary vanadium. Vanadium has a rich and varied chemistry, especially in the (IV) and (V) state. The form of vanadium, usually an oxyanlon (i.e. VOa", V02" "), depends upon its concentration in, and pH of, the medium (45). Perhaps, one form is more readily available for absorption, or active in metabolism, than another. Thus, a diet that is relatively low in vanadium might be nutritionally either deficient or adequate depending on the form of the vanadium. 

The glass-ionomer cement was found to be non-toxic. There were no signs of inflammation or irritation with any of the glass polyalkenoate cement implants even after several months. By contrast a proportion of PMMA cement implants caused swelling and bone reactions. There were also signs of possible hyperaemia (blood congestion) and infarcts (areas deprived of blood supply) and dead tissue. 

Sleep is another concern during maintenance therapy. As we noted in the discussion of acute phase treatment, sleep deprivation can destabilize mood and is often the first sign of an impending episode of illness. Therefore, it remains imperative that the patient sleeps well. It is common practice for patients to keep a small supply of a hypnotic agent such as zolpidem or a benzodiazepine to use as needed in the event of sleep disturbance. Furthermore, patients should routinely be advised to notify their physician should they have two or more consecutive nights of poor sleep so that more aggressive measures can be taken to circumvent the possible development of an illness episode.

Although there is no specific site of vitamin C storage in the body, signs of deficiency do not develop until previously adequately nourished subjects have been deprived of the vitamin for 4 to 6 months, by which time plasma and tissue concentrations have fallen considerably. 

Buckingham and Pople refer to the effect of the electric field as a paramagnetic term, and it has the dependence of the second term in equation (5), Although equation (5) has the virtue of attempting to describe the true electronic environment of the proton, it has the disadvantages of intractability. The electric field perturbation model is mathematically simple but an extreme approximation. Since these two treatments lead to the same functional dependence on p, perhaps the electric field model provides a useful approximation to the more complete description of equation (5), Whether this proves to be true or whether the characteristic arbitrariness of the electrostatic model will deprive the model of more than qualitative predictive value is not yet clear. In any event, the two treatments do concur in shifting attention from the p" term to the p term with its opposite sign. 

The decline in transaminases to normal levels - with a continued deterioration of the active liver disease - and sometimes even to (extremely) subnormal concentrations is a fatal sign. Excessive enzyme deprivation, with a simultaneous marked reduction in cholinesterase activity, is commonly regarded as a. final sign of laboratory chemistry, indicating the imminent death of the liver-diseased patient. 

Acetylene is a simple asphyxiant a physiologically inert gas that can deplete the atmosphere of available oxygen when present in high concentrations and thereby deprive the tissues of necessary oxygen. Signs of asphyxia are noted when the atmospheric oxygen concentration is reduced to 16% or less. The tissues that are most sensitive to hypoxia are the brain and heart.
