This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy of bicarbonate and salbutamol for hyperkalemia in 9 hemodialysis patients. Simultaneous administration of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate (i.v., 2 mEq/kg) for 1/2 hour and salbutamol (15 mg) in nebulized form for 10 min was compared with treatment modality of either bicarbonate or salbutamol alone. Infusion of sodium bicarbonate induc...

The effects of relative humidity and temperature on moisture sorption rate and stability profile of sodium bicarbonate powder exposed to various storage conditions were investigated using gravimetrical and acid-titration methods. In the study, samples were placed in desiccators, which contained various saturated salt solutions to generate desired levels of relative humidity, denoted as RH, rang...

Hydration with sodium bicarbonate is one of the strategies to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The purpose of this study was to determine how strong is the evidence for sodium bicarbonate to prevent CI-AKI after coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).We conducted PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases to search for randomized controlled t...

debaryomyces hansenizopf isolated from the fructoplane of apples were found to be effective as biocontrol agent against rot of papaya caused by ulocladium. chartarum(pr.) simm. the ability of d. hansenii to prevent infection of u. chartarum was lost when the antagonist cells were killed by autoclaving. cell free culture filtrates of antagonist were unable to prevent disease incidence. efficacy ...

Erratum The original version of this article [1] unfortunately contained a mistake. The formula concentration described in the “Treatments” section was provided incorrectly. The corrected text is available below: “The SBCG1 treatment was a solution with sodium bicarbonate and calcium gluconate, both at a concentration of 0.75 % (w/v); and SBCG2 had the same concentration of sodium bicarbonate t...

BACKGROUND 400 cases undergoing surgery for cataract under local anaesthesia were studied. Peribulbar anaesthesia involves injecting a mixture of 2% lignocaine, bupivicaine 0.5% and hyaluronidase into the peripheral space of the orbit through a single infero-lateral point. Sodium bicarbonate has been shown to reduce the time of onset of anaesthesia and pain perception when mixed with local anae...
