A method has been developed for determination of sodium concentration (activity) in urine using a glass electrode designed to be especially sensitive to sodium ion activity. The urine is diluted 2:20 with Tris buffer (pH 8.0) and sodium activity measured by dipping a sodium electrode and calomel reference electrode in the diluted specimen and obtaining a millivolt reading with a sensitive pH me...

background and purpose: the presence of candida yeasts in urine, known as candiduria, is an indicator of infection or colonization of the urinary tract by candida species. this condition in diabetic patients can be hazardous due to diminished immune system response. the objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of candiduria in diabetic patients and to identify its causative agen...

An oral calcium bolus (Bovikalc, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) supplying calcium to dairy cows in the form of calcium chloride and calcium sulfate was evaluated to determine the effect on calcium homeostasis immediately after calving. Cows in the treatment group received one bolus immediately after calving and a second bolus 12 hours later. Control cows received no calcium supplementation. Bl...

Aim: Urine Ph (U-pH) is a clinical indicator of acid excretion in the urine and load diet. The association between low U-pH net secretion with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, uric nephrolithiasis were showed. aim this study to evaluate patients different glucose tolerance status.
 Materials methods: This was designed as single-center, retrospective, cross-sec...

urinary stones are prevalent and corynebacterium urealyticum, a urease-positive bacteria, is a frequent urinary tract pathogen. however, the association of this organism with urinary stones is not sufficiently studied in iran. this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of c. urealyticum in patients with urinary stones referred to the urology sections of tehran university of medical ...

An analytical method for analyzing SMZ in human plasma and urine using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The separation carried out on a Shim-pack GIST® C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 ?m) with temperature setting of 30°C. mobile phase consisted glacial acetic acid pH 2.5: methanol: acetonitrile (70:25:5, v/v/v) at rate 0.8 mL/min. Detection done PDA detector the range ?1...

Reducing the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) has been shown to be an effective means of preventing parturient paresis in confinement systems where cows are offered a total mixed ration containing DCAD-reducing mineral compounds (anionic salts). Such a supplementation strategy is not possible in cows being group fed forages precalving, and little is known about the effect of supplementing...
