BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206232 DESCRIPTION Posterior heel pain is a constellation of pathologies that may include retrocalcaneal bursitis, insertional tendonitis, paratenonitis and tendonosis among others. The diagnosis of insertional Achilles tendonitis can be established clinically ...

BACKGROUND Recently, acetate-free citrate containing dialysate (A(-)D) was developed. We have already reported about the significant effect of A(-)D on metabolic acidosis, anemia, and malnutrition in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. In this study, we compared the effect of A(-)D and acetate containing dialysate (A(+)D) on serum calcium and intact-parathyroid hormone (int-PTH) levels. ...

Analytical isotachophoresis has proved to be an excellent method for separation and quantitative measurement of ionic species in biologic fluids. Isotachophoretic separation of cations in presence of a complex-forming nonionic detergent (e.g. Triton X-100) in 98% methanol enables simultaneous quantitative determination of ammonium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and protonated creatinine in urin...

apparent availability of the dietary Mg. This result was confirmed in the intact sheep by Care & Ross (1963) using deoxycorticosterone acetate instead of aldosterone. Since in most circumstances the diet provides excessive amounts of Mg, it seems likely that the endocrine factors function to reduce the availability of dietary Mg rather than to increase it. Notwithstanding the recent acceleratio...

Calcium oxide nanoparticles was prepared by coprecipitation method using calcium acetate as precursor and calcined at 800 °C for 6 hours. This work studied the effect of different concentrations on size obtained its applicated palm oil transesterification catalysis. Characteristics samples were measured XRD SEM et al techniques. The results showed that diffraction pattern CaO has same standard ...

Hypercalciuria and hyperphosphaturia are present in long term and high dose regimens of glucocorticoid therapy. This study aims to evaluate the effect of niacin at its pharmacological dose on calcium and phosphate disturbances due to methylprednisolone administration in growing rats. Twenty one rats were randomly divided into three equal groups and treated as follows for 4 weeks: 1-Normal salin...

Protective effect of Camellia Sinensis L. leaf extract on lead acetate Induced nephrotoxicity in albino wistar rats were investigated by analyzing various biochemical parameters. Lead acetate induced kidney damage was well manifested by significant increase in renal parameters like urea, uric acid creatinine and serum electrolytes sodium, potassium,chloride, calcium, phosphorous and TBARS and d...

1. In a comparative slaughter experiment, growing lambs were given concentrate diets in which 14 or 19% metabolizable energy (ME) provided by barley was replaced by sodium, calcium and potassium salts of acetic acid. As the proportion of ME as acetate was increased, energy retention decreased. ME intake was 9271, 9430, and 9217 +/- 67 kJ/d and energy retention was 2698, 2422 and 2280 +/- 71 kJ/...

BACKGROUND The current work is an attempt to know about additional chemical profile of Artemisia macrocephala. Antioxidant activity is performed as the plant is reported to contain flavonoids, which have antioxidant activity in general. Relaxant activity of fractions of crude methanol extract is performed to know in which fraction(s) the relaxant constituents concentrate as we have already repo...

BACKGROUND The majority of bicarbonate based dialysis fluids are acidified with acetate. Citrate, a well known anticoagulant and antioxidant, has been suggested as a biocompatible alternative. The objective of this study was to evaluate short term safety and biocompatibility of a citrate containing acetate-free dialysis fluid. METHODS Twenty four (24) patients on maintenance dialysis three ti...
