background calcium infusion is used as a pre-treatment before calcium channel blockers to prevent hypotension. occasional cardioversion with calcium gluconate infusion is seen in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. several mechanisms have been suggested for mechanism. herein we report a case presenting with atrial fibrillation but cardioverted with calcium gluconate infusion,...

studies show that there is a substantial gap between the recommended daily calcium intake and what people actually consume. calcium food fortification is an effective method to increase daily calcium consumption. in the present study, the influence of three calcium salts at different levels was evaluated on physicochemical properties of set yoghourt such as ph, acidity, incubation time and syne...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine whether calcium gluconate exerts protective effects on osteoarthritis (OA) induced by anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection and partial medial meniscectomy. METHODS Calcium gluconate was administered by mouth daily for 84 days to male ACL transected and partial medial meniscectomized Sprague-Dawley rats 1 week after operation. RESULTS Eighty-f...

Calcium gluconate production by Aspergillus niger was investigated in shake flask, rolling shaker, air-lift reactor and stirred reactor. Growth pattern of the organism and fermentation conditions determined the yield of the product. High calcium gluconate production was achieved in air-lift reactor with pellet form of cell growth at moderate specific growth rate and biomass concentration. In an...

Of the factors tested, the source and concentration of carbon and nitrogen in the medium exerted maximum effect on growth and acid production. Glucose (15%) and urea (0.14%) induced glucose oxidase synthesis and optimum yield of calcium gluconate. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0.2%) and magnesium sulphate (0.06%) stimulated glucose oxidase activity and calcium gluconate production. Borax at a...

BACKGROUND Calcium infusion is used as a pre-treatment before calcium channel blockers to prevent hypotension. Occasional cardioversion with calcium gluconate infusion is seen in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Several mechanisms have been suggested for mechanism. Herein we report a case presenting with atrial fibrillation but cardioverted with calcium gluconate infusion,...

A practical method for the production of calcium 2-keto-l-gulonate (an intermediate in the Reichstein synthesis of l-ascorbic acid) from d-glucose has been established by using a two-stage fermentation system. d-Glucose was first converted to calcium 2,5-diketo-d-gluconate by a mutant strain of Erwinia sp. in a medium containing d-glucose, corn steep liquor, (NH(4))(2)HPO(4), and CaCO(3). After...

The corrosion rate of mild steel in low corrosive tap water in the absence and presence of 1hydroxy ethane-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) and calcium gluconate have been evaluated by weight loss, electrochemical polarization and AC impedance measurements. Presence of calcium gluconate considerably enhanced the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the widely used water treatment agent HEDP. At high...

introduction : supplementation with minerals like calcium has been shown to be effective in preventing bone loss and increasing bone density. thus, it can be assumed that if calcium supplementation is paired with bisphosphonates, greater benefit can be achieved. in this context, we decided to perform this animal study on ovariectomized rats to assess whether bisphosphonate supplemented with cal...
