Taking a specific whey protein supplement (ImuPower) daily for 6 weeks can improve shortness of breath but not lung function or quality of life in people with COPD.

I have a pt who has hypochloremia and hypokalemia along with hyponatremia. I don't under stand the relationship between hypochloremia and hypokalemia. I did write that hypokalemia is related to my pt by: drugs can cause decreased levels such as heparin.

Danaparoid is not available in the United States, but it is used in Canada, Europe, and Australia.
