Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is widely used in pharmaceutical industries and as a supplement in probiotics. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical properties of the CaCO3. The CaCO3 powder was divided into two parts and referred as control and treated. The control part was remained untreated, whereas treated part was subjected to T...

This work explores the effect of additives on the pouring temperature in a waterworks and industrial calcium fluoride sludge co-melting system. Two kinds of sludge were mixed in various ratios to find a mixing ratio at which the operating temperature for subsequent additive tests was relatively low. Various proportions of either sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or potassium carbonate (K2CO3) reagent w...

A calcium carbonate suspension, encapsulated within particles of calcium alginate hydrogel, is proposed as a drug delivery device susceptible to ultrasound disruption. Spheres approximately 1mm in diameter were prepared by the coaxial airflow method from mixtures of 1% sodium alginate (m/v) and each of 50%, 75% and 100% calcium carbonate (m/v) in distilled water. This product was subjected to c...

objective: the study evaluated the efficacy of oral calcium carbonate supplement on leg pain in pregnancy and nursing period. materials and methods: a total number of 176 women at third trimester of pregnancy or nursing period till to one year after delivery with complaint of leg pain, low back pain (lbp), and posterior pelvic pain (ppp) were evaluated for distinct primary causes and were exclu...

BACKGROUND Lanthanum carbonate (FOSRENOL®) is an effective, well-tolerated phosphate binder. The ability of lanthanum to reduce serum phosphorus levels to ≤5.5 mg/dL in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was assessed in a clinical practice setting. METHODS A 16-week, phase IV study enrolled 2763 patients at 223 US sites to evaluate the efficacy of lanthanum carbonate in controlling ...

Calcium carbonate represents a large portion of carbon reservoir and is used commercially for a variety of applications. Microbial carbonate precipitation, a by-product of microbial activities, plays an important metal coprecipitation and cementation role in natural systems. This natural process occurring in various geological settings can be mimicked and used for a number of biotechnologies, s...

BACKGROUND Calcium is an essential cotherapy in osteoporosis treatment. The relative effectiveness of various calcium salts for this purpose is uncertain. Many older women with osteoporosis have phosphorus intakes of <70% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to test the hypothesis that calcium phosphate would better support anabolic bone building than would calciu...

Dr. K. Farrington, Renal Unit, Lister Hospital Stevenage, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage, Herts SG1 4AB (UK) Dear Sir, Calcium carbonate is the most commonly used phosphate binder in chronic renal failure (CRF). Recently it has been shown that its phosphate-binding capacity is limited at low pH [1]. This study was performed to assess the effect of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on the phosph...

Hypocalcemia is one of the most frequent complications after total extracapsular thyroidectomy (TET). In most of cases it is a transient phenomenon. The aim of this study is to evaluate if and how the oral administration of calcium or calcium combined with D-vitamin could effectively prevent post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. A randomized prospective study was performed, recruiting 120 patients w...
