| Abstract | Seventeen male patients with chronic obstructive airways disease in remission were separated into two groups according to arterial carbon dioxide tensions. Hypercapnia was associated significantly with hypoxia and increased red cell volume whereas normocapnia was not. Normocapnic patients were significantly lighter than those with hypercapnia. Total body potassium (TBK) measured by the whole body monitor was significantly low in two of the patients studied (P less than 0.005). The mean value for TBK for the normocapnic group as a whole was significantly low (P less than 0.005), but the mean value for the hypercapnic group was not. Serum potassium and erythrocyte potassium concentrations were normal even when TBK was low, and diuretics had no apparent influence on these potassium values. Of four patients (two in the series and two others) who had TBK measured after a recent episode of cor pulmonale, three had significantly low values. The only previous studies using a whole body monitor to measure TBK in chronic obstructive airways disease found no such low values, though other workers estimating exchangeable potassium by isotope dilution techniques had found evidence of gross potassium depletion. It is concluded that low TBK does indeed occur in patients with chronic obstructive airways disease and that gross depletion is more likely to follow an episode of cor pulmonale. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
