For examining vitamins, exact quantitations in natural matrices are essential. Up to date, one of the most accurate quantitation methods is the stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA), which is based on the use of isotopically labelled analogues of the analytes as internal standards. The merits of SIDA include the ideal compensation for losses, superior specificity and enhanced sensitivity due to ...

Little is known on the clinical effects of chloride on critically ill patients. We conducted this retrospective, observational study in 488 critically ill patients to investigate the incidence of chloride abnormalities, effects of hypochloremia in acid-base disorders, and association between chloride and clinical outcome. The study involved retrieval of arterial blood gas analyses, biochemical ...

Prickly sida (Sida spinosa), hemp sesbania (Sesbania herbacea), and pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunose) are becoming problematic weeds in many crops including corn soybean. Two separate field experiments, under non-crop conditions, were conducted at the Mississippi State University Delta Research Extension Center, Stoneville, MS to evaluate response of these eight selective herbicides three ...

SidA from the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus catalyzes the generation of N(5)-hydroxyornithine in the biosynthesis of siderophores, a reaction essential for virulence. The crystal structures of SidA in complex with ornithine and lysine reveal the geometry of the interactions among flavin, NADP(+), and the substrate amine group that underlie the hydroxylation reaction. The structural eluci...

Executive Summary This Environmental and Climate Change Policy Brief has been written as an input to the Poverty and Development Assessment that Sida is undertaking as part of the preparation of a revised Swedish cooperation strategy with Zambia. It aims at briefly presenting key environmental sustainability challenges and opportunities (including climate change and disaster risk reduction) in ...

The recently published Liver Citrate Anticoagulation Threshold (L-CAT) trial convincingly showed that continuous renal replacement therapy with regional citrate anticoagulation (CRRT-RCA) was safe and effective in patients with severely impaired liver function. Striking findings were a relatively low incidence of acid–base disorders and a markedly long 72-h filter survival [1]. Nonetheless, we ...

The oil obtained from Sida cordifolia seeds were found to possess anti microbial activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger by using cup-plate method This property was comparable with standard drug norfloxacin and griseofulvin disc. Petroleum ether extract of Sida cordifolia seeds also possess anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan induced pa...
