A 31-year-old female had attempted suicide with 56 diltiazem 30 mg immediate-release (IR) tablets of her father’s prescription and was admitted into emergency department after one hour of ingestion. First vital signs revealed temperature of 36.2 , blood pressure of 58/27 mmHg and pulse of 7 °C 1 beats/min. The electrocardiogram showed junctional bradycardia. She was given the following treatmen...

AMBEKAR, G. R. (Hindustan Antibiotics Ltd., Pimpri, India), S. B. THADANI, AND V. M. DOCTOR_ Production of calcium gluconate by Penicillium chrysogenum in submerged culture. Appl. Microbiol. 13:713-719. 1965.-The waste mycelium of Penicillium chrysogenum HA-10 (obtained at the end of penicillin fermentation), or a 24hr-old freshly grown vegetative inoculum of this organism, was found to utilize...

We studied the effects of intrarenal calcium infusion on renin secretion in sodium-depleted dogs in an attempt to elucidate the major site of calcium-induced inhibition of renin release. Both calcium chloride and calcium gluconate reduced renal blood flow and renin secretion while renal perfusion pressure was unchanged. These data indicate that calcium inhibition of renin secretion did not occu...

four hundred and eighty mixed-sex broiler chicks aged 3 hrs after hatching were allotted according to a completely random design in a 6 × 2 × 2 factorial schedule into 2 groups of 12 replications of 20 chicks each. the main experimental factors were fasting for 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hrs after chick placement, calcium gluconate (ca-glu) injection (0 and 0.6 ml) and sex (male and female). inde...

UNLABELLED Previous in vitro results indicated that alginate beads might be a useful vehicle for food iron fortification. A human study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that alginate enhances iron absorption. A randomised, single blinded, cross-over trial was carried out in which iron absorption was measured from serum iron appearance after a test meal. Overnight-fasted volunteers (n = 15)...

Experimental hypercalcaemia was induced in rats by (1) transplantation of the solid Walker 256 tumour, and (2) intraperitoneal injections of calcium gluconate. Whole blood clotting was studied by means of thromboelastography and whole blood clotting times in polystyrene and glass test tubes. At serum calcium levels between 10.3 and 11.5 m-equiv/l a slight delay in clot formation was found which...

BACKGROUND Several diseases affect bone healing and physiology. Many drugs that are commonly used in orthopaedics as "analgesics" or anti-inflammatory agents impair bone healing. Stressful conditions are associated with decreased serum osteocalcin concentration. High endorphin levels alter calcium metabolism, blocking the membrane channels by which calcium normally enters cells. The consequent ...

This study aimed at identifying a calcium compound which could serve as an effective and safe dietary supplement in suckling rats over the period of intense growth and development. The main objective was to assess the effect of additional calcium intake on skeletal calcium in suckling pups. Suckling Wistar rats were fed using a pipettor with one of the following calcium salts from day 6 to 14 a...
