Background: Iron-based phosphate binders are widely used in hemodialysis, to avoid the increased mortality associated with high serum phosphate in dialysis patients. However, comparative studies on the effects of phosphate binders are currently limited. In the present study, a comparative analysis of ferric citrate (FC), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SF), and lanthanum carbonate (LC) was performed ...

Background: To evaluate and compare the microhardness of deciduous teeth treated with nano-hydroxyapatite and calcium sucrose phosphate after iron drop exposure. Material and Methods: Twenty healthy anterior deciduous teeth were collected and stored in 0.9% saline solution at room temperature. All the teeth were immersed in artificial saliva in an incubator shaker at 37° for an hour and then su...

Lithium exchanged phases of amorphous and crystalline zirconium titanium phosphate have been synthesized by an ion exchange technique. These materials have been characterized by elemental analysis (ICP-AES and AAS), spectral analysis (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction studies. The conductance properties of these materials have been explored by measuring specific conductance at...
