“…One of the ways to eliminate this type of interference is the use of an internal standard suited to the analytes tested in terms of ionization and mass energy. In the work (Dahlberg et al, 2015) testing the content of K, Na, Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, and Cr, the internal standard Sc, Rh, In, and Lu was used in each sample. In order to avoid interference due to mass differences, an internal standard that has a mass number as close to the analyzed element as possible should be used (however, it is not always possible to use an appropriate, stable isotope).…”

“…The patients in the present study complained of cognitive symptoms or mental fatigue. Even so, we did not detect neocortical β‐amyloid accumulation in our patients as evaluated with 18 F‐flutemetamol PET, suggesting that cognitive symptoms in the first months following treatment are caused by factors other than β‐amyloid accumulation, such as neurotoxic substances from pus, inflammation, perilesional edema, and the destruction of brain tissue inherent in abscess formation [10–14].…”

“…A focal bacterial brain infection may lead to the formation of an abscess, a cavity within the brain parenchyma filled with pus [10]. The pus contains multiple neuroactive compounds at toxic levels such as ammonia, glutamate, trace metals, and cytokines [11][12][13][14]. Neurologic symptoms depend on the localization of the abscess in the brain, and may include motor and sensory deficits and seizures [10].…”

“…A twofold increase in plasma [K + ] to 7 or 8 mmol/L in humans will likely lead to death, unless rapidly reduced (Conway, Creagh, Byrne, O'Riordan, & Silke, 2015;Gennari, 1998;Nyirenda, Tang, Padfield, & Seckl, 2009). A recent study measured the [K + ] in abscesses in the human brain and found the levels to have an average 10.6 ± 4.8 mmol/L (Dahlberg, Ivanovic, Mariussen, & Hassel, 2015). The leakage of such an abscess would be severely detrimental to the surrounding healthy tissue.…”
