The analysis of trace elements and major ions on groundwater wells in Kuala Langat become the aim this paper for purposes to investigate quality be considered as a suitable alternative water source domestic purposes. sampling was conducted thirteen stations wells. samples were taken from which scatter agricultural areas Langat, Selangor. parameters have analyzed calcium, magnesium, potassium, b...

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are continuously formed in water systems such as reservoirs and lakes around the world. Geosmin 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) produced by some species of cyanobacteria have caused odor problems drinking Sanbe Reservoir Japan. Field observations were conducted for four years (2015–2019) to investigate cause this musty odor. It was found that geosmin Dolichospermum cras...

Acid-base homeostasis and pH regulation are critical for both normal physiology and cell metabolism and function. The importance of this regulation is evidenced by a variety of physiologic derangements that occur when plasma pH is either high or low. The kidneys have the predominant role in regulating the systemic bicarbonate concentration and hence, the metabolic component of acid-base balance...

To the Editor:—Metabolic alkalemia is the most common acid–base disturbance among patients in the hospital. Because the disorder is associated with high mortality and morbidity, its prompt diagnosis and treatment is feasible. The expected physiologic compensation for a primary increase in serum bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3 ]), i.e., metabolic alkalosis, is hypoventilation that increases par...

Management of aluminium phosphide (AlP) poisoning seems to have seen some changes over the recent years (1). We believe that one of the reasons was the review article (2) and letters to the editor (3-5) published in your journal between 2012 and 2013. However, we still face problems in treating severe cases, who generally present with refractory metabolic acidosis and whose prognosis is poor (6...

Abstraet--A new iron oxide dissolution method designed to measure the abundance of "free" Fe oxide phases and associated elements in soils and sediments has been tested. The method employs a ternary complex of Ti(III), citrate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) as a reductant and bicarbonate as a proton acceptor. The Ti(III)-citrate-EDTA-HCO3 method dissolved more synthetic amorphous ferri...

The supplementation of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) could increase performance or delay fatigue in intermittent high-intensity exercise. Prolonged tennis matches result in fatigue, which impairs skilled performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of NaHCO3 supplementation on skilled tennis performance after a simulated match. Nine male college tennis players were recruited f...

Objective: There is not a non-invasive, valid, and reliable criterion yet that can be used to determine the degree of dehydration responsiveness fluid treatment. In literature, Pleth Variability Index (PVI) has been studied as one additional tools dehydration. Studies on this topic have conducted mainly patients who are connected mechanical ventilators. This study was assess feasibility PVI mea...

In rats with renal failure produced by excision of one kidney and infarction of large portions of the other kidney, given a low calcium, high phosphorus diet for 2-3 weeks, GFR was reduced by 80 percent, the fractional excretion of sodium increased from 7 to 23 percent, that of bicarbonate from 16 to 23 percent and that of water from 4 to 13 percent. Single nephron GFR in the remaining nephrons...
