BACKGROUND This study evaluated the proportion of patients who met National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-K/DOQI) guidelines for mineral status, and assessed the cost of therapy for mineral management of patients under haemodialysis treatment in Spain. METHODS Demographic and biochemical data were collected for 1312 patients undergoing standard three-times ...

diversification of phosphorus sources can bring substantial synergy effects within all thesustainable development domains: environmental, economic and social, and such an opportunity should not beoverlooked. urban sinks accumulate phosphorus and other elements and may serve as sources of secondaryraw materials. this paper evaluates phosphorus sources based on their total material requirement (t...

The influence of cultivar and crop year on mineral components of apple fruits was investigated using three cultivars cultivated at Morioka Branch, Fruit Tree Research Station in 1980 to 1982. The mineral components measured were 9 elmemts, i.e. sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, and phosphorus. The potassium, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus contents were ...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inorganic and organic trace minerals in two levels of supplementation regarding performance, diarrhea occurrence, hematological parameters, fecal mineral excretion and mineral retention in metacarpals and liver of weanling pigs. Seventy piglets weaned at 21 days of age with an average initial body weight of 6.70 ± 0.38 kg were allotted in...

canola (brassica napus l.) is one of the most important oil seed crops. in order to evaluate the effects of integrated fertilization (chemical, manure and biofertilizers) on canola (b. napus variety hyola 401) yield and uptake of mineral nutrients in saline soil and water, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete blocks (rcbd) arrangement with eight treatments in three replicatio...

[1] Phosphorus (P) availability constrains both carbon uptake and loss in some of the world’s most productive ecosystems. In some of these regions, atmospheric aerosols appear to be an important, if not dominant, source of new P inputs. For example, previous work suggests that mineral aerosols from North Africa bring significant amounts of new phosphorus to the P-impoverished soils of the Amazo...

Harvests of crops, their trade and consumption, soil erosion, fertilization and recycling of organic waste generate fluxes of phosphorus in and out of the soil that continuously change the worldwide spatial distribution of total phosphorus in arable soils. Furthermore, due to variability in the properties of the virgin soils and the different histories of agricultural practices, on a planetary ...

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum levels of dietary phosphorus (P) for juvenile hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus) fed fishmeal-free practical diets. Hybrid tilapia (1.68 ± 0.08 g) were fed diets containing various levels (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0%) of additional inorganic phosphorus for 10 weeks using two different sources of phosphorus:calcium di...
