Diuretic effect of Bach hac fluid extract was investigated on white rat. Results showed that Bach hac (Acaramthus nasutin – Acanthaceae) in the dose of 4g/kg – 6g/kg body weight has increased the elimination of Na+, K+, Cl- and Ca++ ions through kidney, the effect was most obvious in the 2nd and 4th hours after administration under any doses.

Diuretic drugs are the most commonly used agents to control edema or volume overload. However, the clinical use of diuretics is not confined to edema control. Recently, diuretics have been revisited for the management of various diseases, including hypertension and congestive heart failure. Diuretics are classified mainly by their sites of action in the renal tubules, and have unique characteristics and adverse effects according to their mechanisms of action. To use diuretics adequately, it is very important to understand their characteristics.

The experiment was conducted by Lipschitz’s method on white rats of 3 groups, each included 12 animals going without food 18 hours before starting of study. The control group administered orally 1 time only 2ml of water/100g of body mass. The 1st group Dia Long 3g/2ml/100g of body mass, the 2nd group Dia Long 4.5g/2ml/100g of body mass. Rats of all 3 groups were injected subperitoneally 5ml of 0.9% salt solution on 100g of body mass for increasing urine volume. Results showed a diuretic effect of Dia Long, lasting for 6 hours after the use. Dia Long’s excretion effects on Na, K, Cl ions through the kidney were manifested obviously in the 2nd and the fourth hours after use with all the various doses.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the effect of tamsulosin and hydrochlorothiazide (Dichlozid) on the expulsion of ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 132 patients with a single ureteral calculi less than 10 mm in diameter were enrolled and divided into 3 groups: group 1 (n=40) received tamsulosin (0.2 mg/day), group 2 (n=35) received Dichlozid (25 mg/day) and tamsulosin (0.2 mg/day), and group 3 (n=57) was the control. Proximal and distal ureteral stones were evaluated separately. Efficacy was evaluated in terms of the rate and duration of expulsion according to stone size (<5 mm, > or =5 mm) for a maximum period of 4 weeks. RESULTS: The mean stone diameters were 4.9+/-1.7 mm (group 1), 4.8+/-1.6 mm (group 2), and 5.3+/-1.8 mm (group 3). The overall expulsion rates were 70%, 74.3%, and 52.6%, respectively, and showed statistical significance. The mean durations of expulsion were 14.7+/-1.6, 12.8+/-1.5, and 18.0+/-2.0 days, respectively, and group 2 showed a significant decrease in the duration. There were no significant differences in the expulsion rate of proximal and distal ureteral stones in any group. Distal ureteral stones in groups 1 and 2 showed a significant reduction in the mean expulsion time (<5 mm: 13.6+/-0.5, 11.8+/-0.7, and 16.7+/-0.8 days in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively; > or =5 mm: 15.0+/-1.4, 13.0+/-0.6, and 17.8+/-0.4 days in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively). The mean expulsion time for smaller proximal stones (<5 mm) in groups 1 and 2 was reduced significantly (17+/-0.6, 15.2+/-0.8, and 19.3+/-0.6 days in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Medical therapy with tamsulosin is time-saving and effective for treating ureteral calculi. In addition, adjunctive treatment with Dichlozid may reduce the duration of expulsion.

Acute pulmonary edema was experienced during the mass excision of a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma clue to massive transfusion (8,000ml of blood within 3 hours). High FIoz with manual PEEP, diuretics, steroid and digitalis were given immediately. Full recovery was observed after 18 hours of ICU care.

Generalized or localized edema is a very common symptom in primary care. Edema is developed from an imbalance in the filtration system between the vessel and interstitial spaces. A systematic approach is extremely important to determine the underlying diagnosis, because its management plan depends on the cause of edema. Treatment includes sodium restriction, diuretic use, appropriate management of the underlying disorder, et al. This review can be helpful in establishing the management of edema in clinical practice.
