Hyperosmolarity refers to an elevated concentration of solutes in the blood, disrupting the balance of fluids in the body. This imbalance can lead to excessive thirst, often accompanied by other ...

DURING a review of the records for juvenile diabetes mellitus at the Hospital for Sick Children, a case was discovered in which severe hyperglycemia was accompanied by an altered level of conscious ...

To the Editor: I was most interested in the paper by Ehrlich and Bain (March 23 issue, page 683) describing their case of nonketotic diabetic coma in an eighteen-month-old child. Their case was tr ...

These new findings,presented in a newly published white paper 'Molecular Mechanisms Responsible for Tear Hyperosmolarity,' open new avenues for treating dry eye disease.

In a rat model of dry eye, Puro found that electrical activity in the goblet cells increases as hyperosmolarity rises in the tear film, which in turn allows the cells to produce more mucin.

Hyperosmolarity had no effect on leucine turnover, but led to an increase in the glucose rate of appearance without changes in RER.
