In a world increasingly dominated by artificial environments, the importance of reconnecting with nature has never been more crucial. Xander Cadisch, head of the independent research arm Light Tribe of Phos, is on a mission to illuminate the science behind biophilic design and its profound impact on human behaviour. He explores the electromagnetic spectrum explaining how light is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and ultraviolet. - As you move from red to violet in the visible light spectrum, the wavelength gets shorter and the frequency increases. He goes on to share WHY this is important to us when we design spaces. Xander explains how we emerged out of the sea and how our eyes still carry those salt water ducts which are reminders of where we evolved from. He goes on to explain the evolutionary journey that has hardwired our brains to respond to the natural rhythms of light and colour. "We've always had these intrinsic links to the rising and setting of the sun and all these different colour variations and intensities and wavelengths that the sun gives us at night, at daytime, and then removed at night." However, the modern human now spends a staggering 90% of their time indoors, deprived of this vital connection. "It's less than the legal requirement for maximum security prisoners," he says. This disconnect has profound consequences, as our eyes and brains are wired to thrive on the sensory experiences found in the natural world. "Light is one of the main guiding forces to the world around us," he says. "Potentially 80% of how we interact with the world around us comes from what we see." From the way certain wavelengths can influence our mood and productivity, to the importance of shadows and contrast in creating a sense of harmony, the science behind lighting design is complex and often overlooked. He cites the example of a study in Sacramento, where simply turning employees' desks to face a window tripled their productivity, with the business making an additional $3,000 per employee. The solution, he believes, lies in embracing the principles of biophilic design - not just adding plants, but carefully considering texture, colour, and the interplay of light and shadow. By reintroducing the "organized chaos" of nature into our built environments, he argues, we can unlock the full potential of our senses and improve our health, wellbeing, and productivity. It's a vision that could transform the way we design the spaces we inhabit, one wavelength at a time.www.phos.co.ukHave you got a copy of the Journal?

A struggling GP practice was allegedly told by a Te Whatu Ora committee to set up a cafe inside their clinic to bring in extra cash. In September, General Practice New Zealand surveyed Primary health Organisations or PHOs, that deliver GP services; with about 76 percent of them responding. More than 60 percent of the PHO's have clinics in their network that are facing closures, 61 percent are reducing services, and 100 percent are restricting patient access in some way. Among the reasons given; financial pressure, GPs, retention and burnout issues. In the survey, one practice revealed Te Whatu Ora's fees review committee, which makes independent recommendations about increases to GP fees - suggested one medical centre set up a cafe within their practice to ease financial pressures. Andrew Swanson-Dobbs is CEO, of WellSouth and the PHO, for the clinic who got the cafe advice, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

Learn how to align your heart with your skills, discover your true purpose, and create a meaningful legacy through leadership when you tune in!Episode Highlights:03:57 - I have found that neither one of those are all that exciting for me. Neither one of those ideas of building an equity business to sell it out or a lifestyle business just so I can go play a bunch of golf, I hate golf. Top golf is like the best–I don't like fishing, like I love what I do. Neither one of those two perspectives on business have been enough to sustain me. We have built something exceptional and different at PHOS. It's a different type of business. It's not equity, It's not lifestyle. We call it business as a ministry. BAM. Business as a ministry. What if business wasn't just about equity and you living a lifestyle that you wanted to live? What if your business and your life and your leadership was actually about other people?10:52 - We had grown to such a size that I had delegated so much of my roles and responsibilities away. I was walking and going, "What do I do here again?" I had delegated so much away and people are like, "Oh, well done. A leader worth following. Delegation is such a great leadership quality." Until you're looking at it and you're just like, "I don't even know what I'm supposed to do when I wake up tomorrow morning." I went to my leadership team. I shared this with them, my executive team. I said, "Here's what I'm struggling with." And they were like, "We know exactly what you're supposed to do here, Brandon." I was like, "Well, please tell me." "You're supposed to guard our purpose." 15:19 - That's why leadership is hard. In the middle of all that, you're trying to figure out purpose. You're trying to figure out, how am I supposed to do? What am I called to? What an interesting blend of roles and responsibilities. For me, as I've tried to answer that question about purpose, one of the best tools I've seen for doing so, Andy Stanley, great leadership guy in my life, he says that purpose is found at the intersection of three things. What breaks your heart? Start there. You want to understand your purpose, then be willing to go on all. It took me years to answer that question.20:07 - I have more potential inside of me, and I choose not to pursue that because of the things that that potential for business or for leadership, or for influence or for growth, or for revenue, or for impact, or for ministry would threaten the things that are most acutely I'm called to in life. I would willingly lay aside potential for the sake of purpose, and people who God's called me to minister to. The life most wasted is not the one who wastes the most amount of potential but spends their potential on the things that they were never meant to spend it on.

If you're to give away your LIFE, it's not just about you opening your wallet. Sometimes that's much easier for me.

On today's show, Craig Kelly Vindicated in his AEC case, ︎The Commissioner of the Australian Electoral Commission, Tom Rogers must apologise to Australian taxpayers for AEC abusing their powers & shredding the AEC's reputation and wasting taxpayers money by running such a frivolous & malicious prosecution over a font size. Later, Roland Crystal discusses why the voice yes vote is problematic for law enforcement.  GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Craig Kelly is United Australia Party National Director. Kelly initially entered politics as a member of the Liberal Party of Australia, and was elected to the Australian House of Representatives at the 2010 federal election, as a member of parliament (MP) for the division of Hughes. He resigned from the Liberal Party in February 2021 to sit on the crossbench as an independent politician, before announcing that he was joining the United Australia Party in August of that year, and was appointed as the party's leader. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Roland Chrystal joined the NSW Police Force as a fresh faced 19 year old in 1990 yet walked out unceremoniously in July 2021 after 31 years, well before the mandates, but unwilling to enforce PHOs and what he considered the destruction of human rights.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Roland Chrystal is a former NSW Police Officer. By mid 2021 it became apparent that the NSWPF had lost its way and no longer complied with its own Statement of Values, nor its Code of Conduct and Ethics in relation to the manner in which it coerced its own staff to be vaccinated even prior to mandate. He also objected to the ruthless manner in which the force sought to coerce compliance from the public through fear and over zealous enforcement of draconian PHOs. By refusing to partake in any such enforcement and due to being unable to voice his opposition publicly and try to provide an alternate view as a serving officer, he felt compelled to resign. Mr Chrystal has spoken publicly on numerous platforms as well as public rallies and community meetings about his perceptions of police actions and the direction of government policy relating to the so called pandemic.

Check out this review Neural Control of Breathing and CO2 Homeostasis and this classic paper Spinal-Fluid pH and Neurologic Symptoms in Systemic Acidosis.OutlineOutline: Chapter 11- Regulation of Acid-Base Balance- Introduction - Bicarb plus a proton in equilibrium with CO2 and water - Can be rearranged to HH - Importance of regulating pCO2 and HCO3 outside of this equation - Metabolism of carbs and fats results in the production of 15,000 mmol of CO2 per day - Metabolism of protein and other “substances” generates non-carbonic acids and bases - Mostly from sulfur containing methionine and cysteine - And cationic arginine and lysine - Hydrolysis of dietary phosphate that exists and H2PO4– - Source of base/alkali - Metabolism of an ionic amino acids - Glutamate and asparatate - Organic anions going through gluconeogenesis - Glutamate, Citrate and lactate - Net effect on a normal western diet 50-100 mEq of H+ per day - Homeostatic response to these acid-base loads has three stages: - Chemical buffering - Changes in ventilation - Changes in H+ excretion - Example of H2SO4 from oxidation of sulfur containing AA - Drop in bicarb will stimulate renal acid secretion - Nice table of normal cid-base values, arterial and venous- Great 6 bullet points of acid-base on page 328 - Kidneys must excrete 50-100 of non-carbonic acid daily - This occurs by H secretion, but mechanisms change by area of nephron - Not excreted as free H+ due to minimal urine pH being equivalent to 0.05 mmol/L - No H+ can be excreted until virtually all of th filtered bicarb is reabsorbed - Secreted H+ must bind buffers (phosphate, NH3, cr) - PH is main stimulus for H secretion, though K, aldo and volume can affect this.- Renal Hydrogen excretion - Critical to understand that loss of bicarb is like addition of hydrogen to the body - So all bicarb must be reabsorbed before dietary H load can be secreted - GFR of 125 and bicarb of 24 results in 4300 mEq of bicarb to be reabsorbed daily - Reabsorption of bicarb and secretion of H involve H secretion from tubular cells into the lumen. - Thee initial points need to be emphasized - Secreted H+ ion are generated from dissociation of H2O - Also creates OH ion - Which combine with CO2 to form HCO3 with the help of zinc containing intracellular carbonic anhydrase. - This is how the secretion of H+ which creates an OH ultimately produces HCO3 - Different mechanisms for proximal and distal acidification - NET ACID EXCRETION - Free H+ is negligible - So net H+ is TA + NH4 – HCO3 loss - Unusually equal to net H+ load, 50-100 mEq/day - Can bump up to 300 mEq/day if acid production is increased - Net acid excretion can go negative following a bicarb or citrate load - Proximal Acidification - Na-H antiporter (or exchanger) in luminal membrane - Basolateral membrane has a 3 HCO3 Na cotransporter - This is electrogenic with 3 anions going out and only one cation - The Na-H antiporter also works in the thick ascending limb of LOH - How about this, there is also a H-ATPase just like found in the intercalated cells in the proximal tubule and is responsible for about a third of H secretion - And similarly there is also. HCO3 Cl exchanger (pendrin-like) in the proximal tubule - Footnote says the Na- 3HCO3 cotransporter (which moves sodium against chemical gradient NS uses negative charge inside cell to power it) is important for sensing acid-base changes in the cell. - Distal acidification - Occurs in intercalated cells of of cortical and medullary collecting tubule - Three main characteristics - H secretion via active secretory pumps in the luminal membrane - Both H-ATPase and H-K ATPase - H- K ATPase is an exchange pump, k reabsorption - H-K exchange may be more important in hypokalemia rather than in acid-base balance - Whole paragraph on how a Na-H exchanger couldn't work because the gradient that H has to be pumped up is too big. - H-ATPase work like vasopressin with premise H-ATPase sitting on endocarditis vesicles a=which are then inserted into the membrane. Alkalosis causes them to be recycled out of the membrane. - H secretory cells do not transport Na since they have few luminal Na channels, but are assisted by the lumen negative tubule from eNaC. - Minimizes back diffusion of H+ and promotes bicarb resorption - Bicarbonate leaves the cell through HCO3-Cl exchanger which uses the low intracellular Cl concentration to power this process. - Same molecule is found on RBC where it is called band 3 protein - Figure 11-5 is interesting - Bicarbonate resorption - 90% in the first 1-22 mm of the proximal tubule (how long is the proximal tubule?) - Lots of Na-H exchangers and I handed permeability to HCO3 (permeability where?) - Last 10% happens distally mostly TAL LOH via Na-H exchange - And the last little bit int he outer medullary collecting duct. - Carbonic anhydrase and disequilibrium pH - CA plays central role in HCO3 reabsorption - After H is secreted in the proximal tubule it combines with HCO# to form carbonic acid. CA then dehydrates it to CO2 and H2O. (Step 2) - Constantly moving carbonic acid to CO2 and H2O keeps hydrogen combining with HCO3 since the product is rapidly consumed. - This can be demonstrated by the minimal fall in luminal pH - That is important so there is not a luminal gradient for H to overcome in the Na-H exchanger (this is why we need a H-ATPase later) - CA inhibitors that are limited tot he extracellular compartment can impair HCO3 reabsorption by 80%. - CA is found in S1, S2 but not S3 segment. See consequence in figure 11-6. - The disequilibrium comes from areas where there is no CA, the HH formula falls down because one of the assumptions of that formula is that H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is a transient actor, but without CA it is not and can accumulate, so the pKa is not 6.1. - Bicarbonate secretion - Type B intercalated cells - H-ATPase polarity reversed - HCO3 Cl exchanger faces the apical rather than basolateral membrane- Titratable acidity - Weak acids are filtered at the glom and act as buffers in the urine. - HPO4 has PKA of 6.8 making it ideal - Creatinine (pKa 4.97) and uric acid (pKa 5.75) also contribute - Under normal cinditions TA buffers 10-40 mEa of H per day - Does an example of HPO4(2-):H2PO4 (1-) which exists 4:1 at pH of 7.4 (glomerular filtrate) - So for 50 mEq of Phos 40 is HPO4 and 10 is H2PO4 - When pH drops to 6.8 then the ratio is 1:1 so for 50 - So the 50 mEq is 25 and 25, so this buffered an additional 15 mEq of H while the free H+ concentration increased from 40 to 160 nanomol/L so over 99.99% of secreted H was buffered - When pH drops to 4.8 ratio is 1:100 so almost all 50 mEq of phos is H2PO4 and 39.5 mEq of H are buffered. - Acid loading decreases phosphate reabsorption so more is there to act as TA. - Decreases activity of Na-phosphate cotransporter - DKA provides a novel weak acid/buffer beta-hydroxybutyrate (pKa 4.8) which buffers significant amount of acid (50 mEq/d).- Ammonium Excretion - Ability to excrete H+ as ammonium ions adds an important amount of flexibility to renal acid-base regulation - NH3 and NH4 production and excretion can be varied according to physiologic need. - Starts with NH3 production in tubular cells - NH3, since it is neutral then diffuses into the tubule where it is acidified by the low pH to NH4+ - NH4+ is ionized and cannot cross back into the tubule cells(it is trapped in the tubular fluid) - This is important for it acting as an important buffer eve though the pKa is 9.0 - At pH of 6.0 the ratio of NH3 to NH4 is 1:1000 - As the neutral NH3 is converted to NH4 more NH3 from theintracellular compartment flows into the tubular fluid replacing the lost NH3. Rinse wash repeat. - This is an over simplification and that there are threemajor steps - NH4 is produced in early proximal tubular cells - Luminal NH4 is partially reabsorbed in the TAL and theNH3 is then recycled within the renal medulla - The medullary interstitial NH3 reaches highconcentrations that allow NH3 to diffuse into the tubular lumen in the medullary collecting tubule where it is trapped as NH4 by secreted H+ - NH4 production from Glutamine which converts to NH4 and glutamate - Glutamate is converted to alpha-ketoglutarate - Alpha ketoglutarate is converted to 2 HCO3 ions - HCO3 sent to systemic circulation by Na-3 HCO3 transporter - NH4 then secreted via Na-H exchanger into the lumen - NH4 is then reabsorbed by NaK2Cl transporter in TAL - NH4 substitutes for K - Once reabsorbed the higher intracellular pH causes NH4 to convert to NH3 and the H that is removed is secreted through Na-H exchanger to scavenge the last of the filtered bicarb. - NH3 diffuses out of the tubular cells into the interstitium - NH4 reabsorption in the TAL is suppressed by hyperkalemia and stimulated by chronic metabolic acidosis - NH4 recycling promotes acid clearance - The collecting tubule has a very low NH3 concentration - This promotes diffusion of NH3 into the collecting duct - NH3 that goes there is rapidly converted to NH4 allowing more NH3 to diffuse in. - Response to changes in pH - Increased ammonium excretion with two processes - Increased proximal NH4 production - This is delayed 24 hours to 2-3 days depending on which enzyme you look at - Decreased urine pH increases diffusion of ammonia into the MCD - Occurs with in hours of an acid load - Peak ammonium excretion takes 5-6 days! (Fig 11-10) - Glutamine is picked up from tubular fluid but with acidosis get Na dependent peritublar capillary glutamine scavenging too - Glutamine metabolism is pH dependent with increase with academia and decrease with alkalemia - NH4 excretion can go from 30-40 mEq/day to > 300 with severe metabolic acidosis (38 NaBicarb tabs) - Says each NH4 produces equimolar generation of HCO3 but I thought it was two bicarb for every alpha ketoglutarate?- The importance of urine pH - Though the total amount of hydrogren cleared by urine pH is insignificant, an acidic urine pH is essential for driving the reactions of TA and NH4 forward.- Regulation of renal hydrogen excretion - Net acid excretion vary inverse with extracellular pH - Academia triggers proximal and distal acidification - Proximally this: - Increased Na-H exchange - Increased luminal H-ATPase activity - Increased Na:3HCO3 cotransporter on the basolateral membrane - Increased NH4 production from glutamine - In the collecting tubules - Increased H-ATPase - Reduction of tubular pH promotes diffusion of NH3 which gets converted to NH4…ION TRAPPING - Extracellular pH affects net acid excretion through its affect on intracellular pH - This happens directly with respiratory disorders due to movement of CO2 through the lipid bilayer - In metabolic disorders a low extracellular bicarb with cause bicarb to diffuse out of the cell passively, this lowers intracellular pH - If you manipulate both low pCO2 and low Bicarb to keep pH stable there will be no change in the intracellular pH and there is no change in renal handling of acid. It is intracellular pH dependent - Metabolic acidosis - Ramps up net acid secretion - Starts within 24 hours and peaks after 5-6 days - Increase net secretion comes from NH4 - Phosphate is generally limited by diet - in DKA titratable acid can be ramped up - Metabolic alkalosis - Alkaline extracellular pH - Increased bicarb excretion - Decrease reabsorption - HCO3 secretion (pendrin) in cortical collecting tubule - Occurs in cortical intercalated cells able to insert H-ATPase in basolateral cells (rather than luminal membrane) - Normal subjects are able to secrete 1000 mmol/day of bicarb - Maintenance of metabolic alkalosis requires a defect which forces the renal resorption of bicarb - This can be chloride/volume deficiency - Hypokalemia - Hyperaldosteronism - Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis - PCO2 via its effect on intracellular pH is an important determinant of renal acid handling - Ratios he uses: - 3.5 per 10 for respiratory acidosis - 5 per 10 for respiratory alkalosis - Interesting paragraph contrasting the response to chronic metabolic acidosis vs chronic respiratory acidosis - Less urinary ammonium in respiratory acidosis - Major differences in proximal tubule cell pH - In metabolic acidosis there is decreased bicarb load so less to be reabsorbed proximally - In respiratory acidosis the increased serum bicarb increases the amount of bicarb that must be reabsorbed proximally - The increased activity of Na-H antiporter returns tubular cell pH to normal and prevents it from creating increased urinary ammonium - Mentions that weirdly more mRNA for H-Na antiporter in metabolic acidosis than in respiratory acidosis - Net hydrogen excretion varies with effective circulating volume - Starts with bicarb infusions - Normally Tm at 26 - But if you volume deplete the patient with diuretics first this increases to 35+ - Four factors explain this increased Tm for bicarb with volume deficiency - Reduced GFR - Activation of RAAS - Ang2 stim H-Na antiporter proximally - Ang2 also stimulates Na-3HCO3 cotransporter on basolateral membrane - Aldosterone stimulates H-ATPase in distal nephron - ALdo stimulates Cl HCO3 exchanger on basolateral membrane - Aldo stimulates eNaC producing tubular lumen negative charge to allow H secretion to occur and prevents back diffusion - Hypochloremia - Increases H secretion by both Na-dependent and Na-independent methods - If Na is 140 and Cl is 115, only 115 of Na can be reabsorbed as NaCl, the remainder must be reabsorbed with HCO3 or associated with secretion of K or H to maintained electro neutrality - This is enhanced with hypochloridemia - Concurrent hypokalemia - Changes in K lead to trans cellular shifts that affect inctracellular pH - Hypokalemia causes K out, H in and in the tubular cell the cell acts if there is systemic acidosis and increases H secretion (and bicarbonate resorption) - PTH - Decreases proximal HCO3 resorption - Primary HyperCard as cause of type 2 RTA - Does acidosis stim PTH or does PTH stim net acid excretion

OutlineOutline: Chapter 11- Regulation of Acid-Base Balance- Introduction - Bicarb plus a proton in equilibrium with CO2 and water - Can be rearranged to HH - Importance of regulating pCO2 and HCO3 outside of this equation - Metabolism of carbs and fats results in the production of 15,000 mmol of CO2 per day - Metabolism of protein and other “substances” generates non-carbonic acids and bases - Mostly from sulfur containing methionine and cysteine - And cationic arginine and lysine - Hydrolysis of dietary phosphate that exists and H2PO4– - Source of base/alkali - Metabolism of an ionic amino acids - Glutamate and asparatate - Organic anions going through gluconeogenesis - Glutamate, Citrate and lactate - Net effect on a normal western diet 50-100 mEq of H+ per day - Homeostatic response to these acid-base loads has three stages: - Chemical buffering - Changes in ventilation - Changes in H+ excretion - Example of H2SO4 from oxidation of sulfur containing AA - Drop in bicarb will stimulate renal acid secretion - Nice table of normal cid-base values, arterial and venous- Great 6 bullet points of acid-base on page 328 - Kidneys must excrete 50-100 of non-carbonic acid daily - This occurs by H secretion, but mechanisms change by area of nephron - Not excreted as free H+ due to minimal urine pH being equivalent to 0.05 mmol/L - No H+ can be excreted until virtually all of th filtered bicarb is reabsorbed - Secreted H+ must bind buffers (phosphate, NH3, cr) - PH is main stimulus for H secretion, though K, aldo and volume can affect this.- Renal Hydrogen excretion - Critical to understand that loss of bicarb is like addition of hydrogen to the body - So all bicarb must be reabsorbed before dietary H load can be secreted - GFR of 125 and bicarb of 24 results in 4300 mEq of bicarb to be reabsorbed daily - Reabsorption of bicarb and secretion of H involve H secretion from tubular cells into the lumen. - Thee initial points need to be emphasized - Secreted H+ ion are generated from dissociation of H2O - Also creates OH ion - Which combine with CO2 to form HCO3 with the help of zinc containing intracellular carbonic anhydrase. - This is how the secretion of H+ which creates an OH ultimately produces HCO3 - Different mechanisms for proximal and distal acidification - NET ACID EXCRETION - Free H+ is negligible - So net H+ is TA + NH4 – HCO3 loss - Unusually equal to net H+ load, 50-100 mEq/day - Can bump up to 300 mEq/day if acid production is increased - Net acid excretion can go negative following a bicarb or citrate load - Proximal Acidification - Na-H antiporter (or exchanger) in luminal membrane - Basolateral membrane has a 3 HCO3 Na cotransporter - This is electrogenic with 3 anions going out and only one cation - The Na-H antiporter also works in the thick ascending limb of LOH - How about this, there is also a H-ATPase just like found in the intercalated cells in the proximal tubule and is responsible for about a third of H secretion - And similarly there is also. HCO3 Cl exchanger (pendrin-like) in the proximal tubule - Footnote says the Na- 3HCO3 cotransporter (which moves sodium against chemical gradient NS uses negative charge inside cell to power it) is important for sensing acid-base changes in the cell. - Distal acidification - Occurs in intercalated cells of of cortical and medullary collecting tubule - Three main characteristics - H secretion via active secretory pumps in the luminal membrane - Both H-ATPase and H-K ATPase - H- K ATPase is an exchange pump, k reabsorption - H-K exchange may be more important in hypokalemia rather than in acid-base balance - Whole paragraph on how a Na-H exchanger couldn't work because the gradient that H has to be pumped up is too big. - H-ATPase work like vasopressin with premise H-ATPase sitting on endocarditis vesicles a=which are then inserted into the membrane. Alkalosis causes them to be recycled out of the membrane. - H secretory cells do not transport Na since they have few luminal Na channels, but are assisted by the lumen negative tubule from eNaC. - Minimizes back diffusion of H+ and promotes bicarb resorption - Bicarbonate leaves the cell through HCO3-Cl exchanger which uses the low intracellular Cl concentration to power this process. - Same molecule is found on RBC where it is called band 3 protein - Figure 11-5 is interesting - Bicarbonate resorption - 90% in the first 1-22 mm of the proximal tubule (how long is the proximal tubule?) - Lots of Na-H exchangers and I handed permeability to HCO3 (permeability where?) - Last 10% happens distally mostly TAL LOH via Na-H exchange - And the last little bit int he outer medullary collecting duct. - Carbonic anhydrase and disequilibrium pH - CA plays central role in HCO3 reabsorption - After H is secreted in the proximal tubule it combines with HCO# to form carbonic acid. CA then dehydrates it to CO2 and H2O. (Step 2) - Constantly moving carbonic acid to CO2 and H2O keeps hydrogen combining with HCO3 since the product is rapidly consumed. - This can be demonstrated by the minimal fall in luminal pH - That is important so there is not a luminal gradient for H to overcome in the Na-H exchanger (this is why we need a H-ATPase later) - CA inhibitors that are limited tot he extracellular compartment can impair HCO3 reabsorption by 80%. - CA is found in S1, S2 but not S3 segment. See consequence in figure 11-6. - The disequilibrium comes from areas where there is no CA, the HH formula falls down because one of the assumptions of that formula is that H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is a transient actor, but without CA it is not and can accumulate, so the pKa is not 6.1. - Bicarbonate secretion - Type B intercalated cells - H-ATPase polarity reversed - HCO3 Cl exchanger faces the apical rather than basolateral membrane- Titratable acidity - Weak acids are filtered at the glom and act as buffers in the urine. - HPO4 has PKA of 6.8 making it ideal - Creatinine (pKa 4.97) and uric acid (pKa 5.75) also contribute - Under normal cinditions TA buffers 10-40 mEa of H per day - Does an example of HPO4(2-):H2PO4 (1-) which exists 4:1 at pH of 7.4 (glomerular filtrate) - So for 50 mEq of Phos 40 is HPO4 and 10 is H2PO4 - When pH drops to 6.8 then the ratio is 1:1 so for 50 - So the 50 mEq is 25 and 25, so this buffered an additional 15 mEq of H while the free H+ concentration increased from 40 to 160 nanomol/L so over 99.99% of secreted H was buffered - When pH drops to 4.8 ratio is 1:100 so almost all 50 mEq of phos is H2PO4 and 39.5 mEq of H are buffered. - Acid loading decreases phosphate reabsorption so more is there to act as TA. - Decreases activity of Na-phosphate cotransporter - DKA provides a novel weak acid/buffer beta-hydroxybutyrate (pKa 4.8) which buffers significant amount of acid (50 mEq/d).- Ammonium Excretion - Ability to excrete H+ as ammonium ions adds an important amount of flexibility to renal acid-base regulation - NH3 and NH4 production and excretion can be varied according to physiologic need. - Starts with NH3 production in tubular cells - NH3, since it is neutral then diffuses into the tubule where it is acidified by the low pH to NH4+ - NH4+ is ionized and cannot cross back into the tubule cells(it is trapped in the tubular fluid) - This is important for it acting as an important buffer eve though the pKa is 9.0 - At pH of 6.0 the ratio of NH3 to NH4 is 1:1000 - As the neutral NH3 is converted to NH4 more NH3 from theintracellular compartment flows into the tubular fluid replacing the lost NH3. Rinse wash repeat. - This is an over simplification and that there are threemajor steps - NH4 is produced in early proximal tubular cells - Luminal NH4 is partially reabsorbed in the TAL and theNH3 is then recycled within the renal medulla - The medullary interstitial NH3 reaches highconcentrations that allow NH3 to diffuse into the tubular lumen in the medullary collecting tubule where it is trapped as NH4 by secreted H+ - NH4 production from Glutamine which converts to NH4 and glutamate - Glutamate is converted to alpha-ketoglutarate - Alpha ketoglutarate is converted to 2 HCO3 ions - HCO3 sent to systemic circulation by Na-3 HCO3 transporter - NH4 then secreted via Na-H exchanger into the lumen - NH4 is then reabsorbed by NaK2Cl transporter in TAL - NH4 substitutes for K - Once reabsorbed the higher intracellular pH causes NH4 to convert to NH3 and the H that is removed is secreted through Na-H exchanger to scavenge the last of the filtered bicarb. - NH3 diffuses out of the tubular cells into the interstitium - NH4 reabsorption in the TAL is suppressed by hyperkalemia and stimulated by chronic metabolic acidosis - NH4 recycling promotes acid clearance - The collecting tubule has a very low NH3 concentration - This promotes diffusion of NH3 into the collecting duct - NH3 that goes there is rapidly converted to NH4 allowing more NH3 to diffuse in. - Response to changes in pH - Increased ammonium excretion with two processes - Increased proximal NH4 production - This is delayed 24 hours to 2-3 days depending on which enzyme you look at - Decreased urine pH increases diffusion of ammonia into the MCD - Occurs with in hours of an acid load - Peak ammonium excretion takes 5-6 days! (Fig 11-10) - Glutamine is picked up from tubular fluid but with acidosis get Na dependent peritublar capillary glutamine scavenging too - Glutamine metabolism is pH dependent with increase with academia and decrease with alkalemia - NH4 excretion can go from 30-40 mEq/day to > 300 with severe metabolic acidosis (38 NaBicarb tabs) - Says each NH4 produces equimolar generation of HCO3 but I thought it was two bicarb for every alpha ketoglutarate?- The importance of urine pH - Though the total amount of hydrogren cleared by urine pH is insignificant, an acidic urine pH is essential for driving the reactions of TA and NH4 forward.- Regulation of renal hydrogen excretion - Net acid excretion vary inverse with extracellular pH - Academia triggers proximal and distal acidification - Proximally this: - Increased Na-H exchange - Increased luminal H-ATPase activity - Increased Na:3HCO3 cotransporter on the basolateral membrane - Increased NH4 production from glutamine - In the collecting tubules - Increased H-ATPase - Reduction of tubular pH promotes diffusion of NH3 which gets converted to NH4…ION TRAPPING - Extracellular pH affects net acid excretion through its affect on intracellular pH - This happens directly with respiratory disorders due to movement of CO2 through the lipid bilayer - In metabolic disorders a low extracellular bicarb with cause bicarb to diffuse out of the cell passively, this lowers intracellular pH - If you manipulate both low pCO2 and low Bicarb to keep pH stable there will be no change in the intracellular pH and there is no change in renal handling of acid. It is intracellular pH dependent - Metabolic acidosis - Ramps up net acid secretion - Starts within 24 hours and peaks after 5-6 days - Increase net secretion comes from NH4 - Phosphate is generally limited by diet - in DKA titratable acid can be ramped up - Metabolic alkalosis - Alkaline extracellular pH - Increased bicarb excretion - Decrease reabsorption - HCO3 secretion (pendrin) in cortical collecting tubule - Occurs in cortical intercalated cells able to insert H-ATPase in basolateral cells (rather than luminal membrane) - Normal subjects are able to secrete 1000 mmol/day of bicarb - Maintenance of metabolic alkalosis requires a defect which forces the renal resorption of bicarb - This can be chloride/volume deficiency - Hypokalemia - Hyperaldosteronism - Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis - PCO2 via its effect on intracellular pH is an important determinant of renal acid handling - Ratios he uses: - 3.5 per 10 for respiratory acidosis - 5 per 10 for respiratory alkalosis - Interesting paragraph contrasting the response to chronic metabolic acidosis vs chronic respiratory acidosis - Less urinary ammonium in respiratory acidosis - Major differences in proximal tubule cell pH - In metabolic acidosis there is decreased bicarb load so less to be reabsorbed proximally - In respiratory acidosis the increased serum bicarb increases the amount of bicarb that must be reabsorbed proximally - The increased activity of Na-H antiporter returns tubular cell pH to normal and prevents it from creating increased urinary ammonium - Mentions that weirdly more mRNA for H-Na antiporter in metabolic acidosis than in respiratory acidosis - Net hydrogen excretion varies with effective circulating volume - Starts with bicarb infusions - Normally Tm at 26 - But if you volume deplete the patient with diuretics first this increases to 35+ - Four factors explain this increased Tm for bicarb with volume deficiency - Reduced GFR - Activation of RAAS - Ang2 stim H-Na antiporter proximally - Ang2 also stimulates Na-3HCO3 cotransporter on basolateral membrane - Aldosterone stimulates H-ATPase in distal nephron - ALdo stimulates Cl HCO3 exchanger on basolateral membrane - Aldo stimulates eNaC producing tubular lumen negative charge to allow H secretion to occur and prevents back diffusion - Hypochloremia - Increases H secretion by both Na-dependent and Na-independent methods - If Na is 140 and Cl is 115, only 115 of Na can be reabsorbed as NaCl, the remainder must be reabsorbed with HCO3 or associated with secretion of K or H to maintained electro neutrality - This is enhanced with hypochloridemia - Concurrent hypokalemia - Changes in K lead to trans cellular shifts that affect inctracellular pH - Hypokalemia causes K out, H in and in the tubular cell the cell acts if there is systemic acidosis and increases H secretion (and bicarbonate resorption) - PTH - Decreases proximal HCO3 resorption - Primary HyperCard as cause of type 2 RTA - Does acidosis stim PTH or does PTH stim net acid excretion

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists. I'm Pradip Kamat coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine and I'm Rahul Damania from Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital and we are two Pediatric ICU physicians passionate about all things MED-ED in the PICU. PICU Doc on Call focuses on interesting PICU cases & management in the acute care pediatric setting so let's get into our episode: Welcome to our Episode of a 4-day-old with jaundice and vomiting. Here's the case presented by Rahul: A full-term 4-day-old boy presents to the ED after recently being discharged from the newborn nursery. Per mom, the patient "look yellow" and was having difficulty with feeding. The mother states that the patient would be increasingly sleepy, and will only latch to the breast for five minutes. The patient has been having decreased wet diapers, and the stool is loose and non-bloody. Mother was concerned today as the child continue to look yellow, especially in the eyes, had four episodes of vomiting, and overall was acting lethargic. The patient presented to the emergency room afebrile, tachypneic, and tachycardic. The patient was noted to have initial serum glucose of 70. As the patient was increasingly dehydrated, laboratory testing was difficult to obtain. The infant was fussy for the caregivers. The patient was resuscitated with 2 x 10 per kilo boluses and responded well. Point of care ultrasound noted normal four-chamber cardiac anatomy and squeeze. Given the instability of the patient, a RAM cannula was initiated, and the patient presented to the PICU. To summarize key elements from this case, this 4-day-old infant has: an acute presentation of jaundice and poor feeding Prominent GI symptoms and dehydration A sepsis-like presentation with hemodynamic instability responsive to fluids All of which brings up a concern for inborn error of metabolism, likely galactosemia. This episode will be organized… Clinical Presentation Laboratory Findings & Biochemistry Management of Galactosemia Rahul, let's start with a short multiple choice question: Of the following biochemical enzymes, which of the following is deficient in classic galactosemia? A. UDP Glucoronyl Transferase B. Aldolase B C. Galactose 1 Uridyl Transferase D. Galactokinase The correct answer is C. Galactose 1 Uridyl Transferase aka GALT. Classic galactosemia is caused by a complete deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT). We should contrast this with galactokinase deficiency. These two present quite differently — GALT deficiency presents like our patient with jaundice, vomiting, hepatomegaly, renal dysfunction, and sepsis. Galactokinase deficiency has less of systemic symptoms and these patients similar to GALT deficiency have cataracts that are usually bilateral and resolved with dietary therapy. To go through our other answer choices, remember that Aldolase B is the rate-limiting enzyme in fructose metabolism, thus a deficiency in this enzyme would cause hereditary fructose intolerance. With this lead in question, let's pivot into the biochemistry of galactose and review key lab findings in our patient with galactosemia. Rahul, can you give us a quick summary of how galactose is metabolized in our body? Galactose is a sugar found primarily in human milk and milk products as part of the disaccharide lactose. Lactose is hydrolyzed to glucose and galactose by the intestinal enzyme lactase. The galactose then is converted to glucose for use as an energy source, however it needs a series of reactions: Galactokinase → which catalyzes the rxn galactose to galactose 1 PO4 Our rate limiting enzyme Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT). GALT helps place a sugar moiety on galactose 1 PO4 to turn it into glucose 1 Phos which can then be utilized in glycolysis or glycogenesis. A complete deficiency in GALT is known as classic...

Episode 94: Elevated Alk Phos. Akhil explains what to do when the alkaline phosphatase is elevated, including labs, imaging and other studies. This is Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care physician for additional medical advice.Elevated Alk Phos. By Akhil Patel, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. Serum alkaline phosphatase: When you find elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, you must consider the two most common sources: the liver and bones. Other sources to consider include the third-trimester placenta, intestine, and kidneys. To determine if the abnormal elevation of alkaline phosphatase has clinical significance, you need to consider if it is a physiological or pathological elevation first. Ruling out physiological concerns: Typically, you should rule out physiological causes first as they are fewer and easier to determine via patient history. This can be even quicker to determine but also sometimes bypassed if a patient's history and labs present with more concerning etiologies of pathological elevation.Common causes of physiological elevations in alkaline phosphatase include pregnancy, patients with blood type O and B after eating a fatty meal, and younger children. Pregnancy: During pregnancy women in their third trimester will have elevated serum alk phos from the placenta. Blood type: During digestion, alk phos is released from the intestines in patients of blood type O and B. A postprandial increase can be 1.5 to 2 times the upper limit of normal in these patients, however, there is no clinical significance. Children: Younger children tend to have higher alk phos due to increased bone turnover. You can find a reference range chart online for different age groups. It is possible for alk phos to be up to three times higher in infancy and adolescence reflecting the ages with the highest bone growth velocity. Fun fact: Alkaline Phosphatase (also known as ALP) is a natural enzyme present in raw milk. Complete pasteurization will inactivate the enzyme in milk, therefore, presence of alkaline phosphatase in milk is an indicator of failed pasteurization. This is because the most heat-stable bacteria found in milk, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, is destroyed by temperatures lower than those required to denature ALP.Evaluation of pathological alkaline phosphatase: Degree of elevation: Another consideration is the level of alk phos elevation. If alk phos is at least four times the upper limit of normal, then cholestasis is the likely cause with many specific etiologies to consider. If alk phos is not markedly elevated (four times the upper limit) then the cause is likely not as specific and many different etiologies should be considered whether hepatic or non-hepatic.  Liver source: Common symptoms: Jaundice, abdominal pain, ascites, easy bruising, nausea and/or vomiting, choluria, acholia or hypocholia, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or anasarca.If alk phos is elevated along with liver function testing and bilirubin, it is easier to determine the liver etiology (hepatitis, cirrhosis). However, if it is an isolated elevation in alkaline phosphatase, then other sources must be considered more carefully. A helpful test at this point is to look at is GGT or serum 5'-Nucleotidase for elevation. Typically, these will be elevated with alk phos if it is of liver origin. If they are not increased, you should consider bone-related etiologies.-If a hepatic cause is determined, a right upper quadrant ultrasound is the best initial test to determine intrahepatic or extrahepatic causes. This imaging will look at the hepatic parenchyma and bile ducts. Biliary dilation on ultrasound suggests an extrahepatic cause while no dilation suggests an intrahepatic cause. Liver source with biliary dilation: CBD is considered dilated when >6mm. If biliary dilation is present suggesting an extrahepatic cause, ERCP or MRCP is the next best step in visualizing the cause with choledocholithiasis being the most common cause. Other causes to consider: malignant obstruction, primary sclerosing cholangitis strictures, chronic pancreatitis causing strictures, and AIDS cholangiopathy. Malignant obstructions can be from the pancreas, gallbladder, ampulla of vater, bile duct, or distant metastasis. If the results of these tests are inconclusive the next best step is to consider a liver biopsy. Liver source without biliary dilation: Without biliary dilation on ultrasound, there is a larger pool of etiologies to consider for intrahepatic causes: drug toxicity, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, viral hepatitis, cholestasis of pregnancy, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Tests: Antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) testing is a good place to start at this point which would suggest primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and indicate confirmation with a liver biopsy. Other tests to order at this point include hepatitis panel, EBV and CMV, and possibly pregnancy testing. If patient history and these tests are all negative, the next best step to consider is a liver biopsy if alk phos is significantly elevated more than two times the upper limit of normal. Summary: GGT, Liver US, Dilated? -> MRCP, ERCP, CT scan of abdomen and pelvis. Non dilated? AMA, Hepatitis panel, EBV, CMV, pregnancy test.Fun fact: When Alkaline phosphatase is elevated you can order the test called Alkaline Phosphatase isoenzymes. You will get a result with percentages for each isoenzyme: ALPI – intestinal, ALPL – nonspecific, but mainly expressed in liver, bone, and kidney; ALPP – placental, and ALPG – germ cells.  Nonhepatic evaluation:With an isolated alkaline phosphatase elevation and normal GGT or serum 5'-Nucleotidase, the first thing to consider is bone-related pathologies involving high bone turnover: Healing fractures, osteomalacia, Paget's disease of bone, osteogenic sarcoma, bone metastasis, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. Patient history, ordering thyroid and parathyroid function testing, imaging with bone scintigraphy are all important in sorting through the differential of bone-related pathologies. Other extrahepatic diseases to consider that have shown elevated alkaline phosphatase include myeloid metaplasia, peritonitis, diabetes mellitus, subacute thyroiditis, uncomplicated gastric ulcer, and sepsis. Each of these has its own work up and an elevated alk phos level has little significance clinically.Paget's disease of bone: Paget disease of bone is a benign disorder that presents with focal areas of increased bone turnover in one or more skeletal sites. Mostly affects male older adults, but female patients can also be affected. Commonly affects the bones of the pelvis, spine, skull, and long bones. Pain is the most common symptom, and the presentation of the disease may depend on which bones are affected, the extent of involvement, and the presence of complications. Paget's disease of bone may be asymptomatic, incidental elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels on routine labs or abnormal imaging tests performed for other reasons can point to Paget's disease of bone. Other common symptoms include deafness, and tight hats. Diagnosis is normally done by plain radiography and serum alkaline phosphatase. Radionuclide scans is used to determine the extent of disease. Treatment with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (zoledronic acid, risedronate, and alendronate).Complications of the disease include arthritis, gait changes, hearing loss, nerve compression syndromes, and osteosarcoma. Use serum alkaline phosphatase for assessing treatment response. Early diagnosis of Paget disease of bone is key in the management and patients have a better prognosis when treatment is initiated before complications. Consult with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.__________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 94 “Elevated Alk Phos”. Elevated Alk Phos can be normal in some circumstances, mainly in pregnancy and childhood. You can start a workup when the alk phos is persistently elevated 4 times above the upper limit of normal. The most common causes can be grouped as hepatic and non-hepatic, and the bones is the most common non-hepatic source. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, and Akhil Patel. Audio edition: Suraj Amrutia. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Join me on this episode as we discuss the remedy Mag Phos (Magnesia Phosphorica) and why the keyword to remember for this remedy is CRAMPS. I will share some personal examples of how I have used homeopathy in my home this week to help myself and my family using cell salts and how a particular remedy has benefited me during my pregnancy. I will also talk about how me and my family are growing our own food this season and encourage you to do the same.
