Liposomes (lipid vesicles) are often considered to be a versatile tool for the synthesis of advanced materials, as they allow various control mechanisms tune materials’ properties. Among diverse calcium phosphates (CaPs) and carbonates (CaCO3) using liposomes has attracted particular attention in development novel (bio)materials biomineralization research. However, preparation materials not yet...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that associated with parathormone resistance. Low serum calcium, high phosphates and raised levels suggesting resistance are biochemical characteristic features of . type 1 known as Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy characterized by typical phenotype. This syndrome encompasses multiple clinical findings such brachydactyly, round...

26 patients diagnosed as manic depressive psychosis were treated with lithium for three months and serum levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphates and proteins were estimated repeatedly. There were no significant changes in the levels of these electrolytes and proteins during the three months of study period.

Recovering struvite from dairy manure has consistently posed problems for researchers. This study separated solids from anaerobically digested dairy manure using a filtration system. Filtrate was rich in free magnesium (160 to 423 mg/L), ammonium (320 to 1800 mg N/L) and orthophosphate (93 to 332 mg P/L). High concentrations of free calcium (128 to 361 mg/L) and alkalinity (3309 to 6567 mg/L as...

Norepinephrine and carbamoylcholine stimulate accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates from [3H]inositol-labeled guinea pig cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes through interaction with alpha 1-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors, respectively. In addition to such agonist, a variety of natural products that affect voltage-dependent sodium channels can markedly stimulate accumulation of [3H]inosit...

A review of classes of biomaterials and their applications is presented. Particular interest is paid to bioceramics, calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite which are the leading biomaterials employed today. Several methods for producing hydroxyapatite are presented, including the characteristics and disadvantages of each methodology reported in specialized literature. The main trends of the mode...

14 performed where necessary. Radiological examinations including intravenous urograms were done on 38 patients and retrograde pyelograms in 4. Biochemical tests including the serum creatinine, blood urea and electrolytes, uric acid, calcium and phosphates were performed periodically. The presence of calculi was diagnosed from radiological studies, operative findings and from a clear history of...
