BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), a complication of chronic kidney disease, has been linked to reduced quality and length of life. High serum phosphate levels that result from CKD-MBD require phosphate-lowering agents, also known as phosphate binders. The objective of this systematic review is to compare the effects of available phosphate binders on laborato...

A novel activation route for the preparation of carbon-based adsorbents functionalized with lanthanum and their application arsenic adsorption was proposed. This procedure is based on carbon dioxide at room temperature, which could allow to reduce energy consumption adsorbent cost. comparison this approach respect conventional thermal 800 °C under N2 atmosphere performed biochar from avocado se...

A facile spray drying technique has been developed for large-scale and template-free production of nanoporous silica with controlled morphology, large pore size, and high pore volume, using commercially available fumed silica, Aerosil 200, as a sole precursor. This approach can be applied to the preparation of functional nanoporous materials, in this study, lanthanum oxide functionalised silica...

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphataemia is a risk factor for arterial calcification contributing to the high cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Calcium-based phosphate binders can induce hypercalcaemia and are associated with progression of vascular calcification. Therefore, the effect of lanthanum carbonate, a non-calcium phosphate binder, on the development of vascular ca...

Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound: the sulfate salt of zinc and a good source of zinc ions. The molecular 40 formula for zinc sulfate is ZnSO4. A graphic representation of the structure of zinc sulfate is shown in figure 1 41 (Pubchem, 2014). Zinc sulfate appears geologically as a white crumbly salt efflorescence known as “goslarite.” 42 Goslarite, the heptahydrate of zinc sulfate was first...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the suitability crystalline scintillator LaCl3:Ce for possible use in hybrid medical imaging systems, such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanners. For purpose, a single crystal (10 × 10 mm3) was irradiated by X-rays within tube voltage range from 50 150 kVp, absolute efficiency (AE) measured experimentally. energy absorption (EAE), quantum detection (QDE), spectral...

Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybdenum trioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and nickel sulfate heptahydrate were tested in the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) assay in order to increase the SHE assay database for heavy metals. All five compounds produced significant morphological transformation at one or more doses in a dose-responsive manner. Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybd...

We present a series of detailed band calculations on the various structural phases of doped lanthanum cuprate: HTT, LTO, and LTT. The LTO distortion is shown to have little effect on the electronic density of states (DOS). A fit to the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature indicates that only 2.5% of the DOS is affected by the HTT→ LTO transition. The LTT distortion ...
