Regulation of “acid–base balance”(a term first introduced by Henderson in 1908) is central
to the fundamental physiologic principle of homeostasis. The evolution of analytical …

Fluid therapy is administered to veterinary patients in order to improve hemodynamics,
replace deficits, and maintain hydration. The gradual expansion of medical knowledge and …
