TL;DR: A study of the inorganic chemical composition of the tissues revealed a difference in the pattern of osmotic adjustment between cells of brain and of muscle that may in part account for the marked manifestations related to the nervous system seen in the animals and, by analogy, in patients.

TL;DR: In the first known incidence of a mass salt poisoning of infants, the case fatality rate was 6 of 14 exposed, and five died before the situation was recognized.

TL;DR: It is concluded that failure of the sodium concentration measured in serum to rise as glucose concentration declines is a marker for excessive administration of free water and an expanded repair period, with repair fluid containing an average of 125 mmol/L Na+ early in therapy, will protect against a downward trend in the concentration of sodium in serum and therefore against a rapid decline in effective serum osmolality.

TL;DR: Rickets with alopecia, an inborn error of vitamin D metabolism, is described in two sisters and intestinal end-organ unresponsiveness to exceedingly high levels of 1,25-(OH)2D was present, in addition to hyporesponsiveness of bone to these high levels the hormone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration of hexachlorophane in the umbilical cord of 50 infants and in the blood of the same infants obtained on discharge from hospital was determined by gas chromatography.
