1. Many of the Colloids might contain albumin which has osmotically equal to plasma and 25% of solutions

2. (Magnesium sulfate, NLM, Medical Subject Headings) The Cathartic action of magnesium cations appears to result, in part, from osmotically mediated water retention, which subsequently stimulates peristalsis.

3. CALA Volume Regulation by Red Blood Cells in Anisotonic Media K at constant Na while osmotically s h r u n k e n cells gain Na with only a slight increase in intracellular K content

4. The anaphylactic shock is an acute failure of blood volume distribution (distributive shock) and caused by IgE-dependent, type-I-allergic, classical hypersensibility, or a physically, chemically, or osmotically induced IgE-independent anaphylactoid hypersensibility.
