OBJECTIVE
Hyperphosphatemia is associated with vascular calcification and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are beneficial in suppressing the progression of kidney and cardiovascular disease. The present studies explore the influence of
A comparison of the effects of lithium, haloperidol, and placebo on cognition is reported for a sample of hospitalized school-age children with a behavioral profile of aggressiveness and explosiveness. In this double-blind study, patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions.
The adsorption of carbonate on goethite has been evaluated, focussing on the relation between the structure of the surface complex and corresponding adsorption characteristics, like pH dependency and proton co-adsorption. The surface structure of adsorbed CO3(-2) has been assessed with (1) a
A calcium carbonate suspension, encapsulated within particles of calcium alginate hydrogel, is proposed as a drug delivery device susceptible to ultrasound disruption. Spheres approximately 1mm in diameter were prepared by the coaxial airflow method from mixtures of 1% sodium alginate (m/v) and each
Near-infrared (NIR) spectra of carbonates have proved important in many disciplines including planetary exploration. Classically bands in the 4000-6000 cm(-1) (2.5-1.67 μm) region are assigned to [CO3(2-)] internal mode combinations and overtones. However band assignments remain equivocal. This
Speleothem deposits are among the most valuable continental formations in paleoclimate research, as they can be dated using absolute dating methods, and they also provide valuable climate proxies. However, alteration processes such as post-depositional mineralogical transformations can significantly
Accurate and efficient measurement of the oxygen isotope composition of carbonates (delta(C) (18)O) based on the mass spectrometric analysis of CO(2) produced by reacting carbonate samples with H(3)PO(4) is compromised by: (1) uncertainties associated with fractionation factors (alpha(CO)(2)C) used
Lithium carbonate was administered during a double-blind crossover experiment lasting 8 weeks, involving 11 healthy volunteers. In psychological tests, no deterioration in mood, performance or memory could be shown. Informal diary entries made by the subjects, however, refer to complaints,
Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is an effective additive to improve the performance of Na-ion batteries (NIB). A recent experimental study has shown that a small amount of FEC enhances the NIB performance, whereas increasing the FEC amount deteriorates the performance. Toward understanding the
The major drawbacks of standard plant fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) designed for double-stranded DNA probes include requirement for experimentally determined heat denaturation of chromosomes at high temperatures and at least overnight hybridization. Consequently, processing with
Lithium carbonate is a widely used pharmacologic agent for acute bipolar disorder, long term prophylaxis of mania in a bipolar patient, and prevention of "manic overshoot" with an antidepressant in acute depression in a bipolar patient. Although clinical neurological associations with lithium
