Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNephrocalcinosis in Female Rats Fed Diets Containing Either Pectin, Galacturonic Acid or GlucoseH.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: In our earlier study, dietary pectin has been shown to promote nephrocalcinosis in rats when compared with the feeding of cellulose. It was not known whether this pectin effect relates to its structure or to its monosaccharide component, galacturonic acid. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin, galacturonic acid and glucose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 14,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNephrocalcinosis in Female Rats Fed Diets Containing Either Pectin or CelluloseAhmed Alhaidary, H.E. Mohamed, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: There is evidence that the type of fiber influences the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats, but the effect of pectin was unknown. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin and cellulose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. The diets used contained either 0.4-0.6% phosphorus and either cellulose (10%, w/w) or pectin. The purified diets used were balanced … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntilithiatic Influence of Spirulina on Ethylene Glycol-Induced Nephrolithiasis in Male RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Nephrolithiasis or renal stone disease remains a significant health problem in the adult population. Nephrolithiasis is a recurrent disorder prominent in males. It is significant medical and surgical problem because of incidence, recurrence and severe consequences. The present day medical management of nephrolithiasis is either costly or not without side effects. Invasive procedures for the treatment of nephrolithiasis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 70,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCamel's Milk Protects Against Cadmium Chloride Induced Toxicity in White Albino RatsFahaid Al-Hashem, Mohammad Dallak, Nabil Bashir et al.Problem statement: Cadmium is one of the most dangerous occupational and environmental toxins. It is found in drinking water, atmospheric air and even in food. Cadmium is reported to be very toxic to biological systems. Until now in treating intoxication with this metal, chelating Compounds have been used, burdened with numerous undesirable symptoms. For this reason, many researches are carried … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Scale Tests of Short-Term Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Weathering Before Landfill DisposalFranco Marchese, Giuseppe GenonProblem statement: Natural weathering is the most economic method of treatment in order to reduce the release of heavy metals present in the residue. Approach: The aim of the study was to optimize the minimum weathering times that were useful to reduce the lead release to within the Italian limits for landfill disposal. The mechanism of short-term weathering of MSWI … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScale Formation Due to Water Injection in Malaysian Sandstone CoresAmer Badr Bin Merdhah, Abu Azam Mohd YassinProblem statement: Scale deposition is one of the most serious oil field problems that inflict water injection systems primarily when two incompatible waters are involved. Approach: This study was conducted to investigate the permeability reduction caused by deposition of calcium, strontium and barium sulphates in sandstone cores from mixing of injected Malaysian sea waters (Angsi and Barton) and formation water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Contents per Serving of Twelve Varieties of Cooked Rice Marketed in JordanJafar M. El-Qudah, Basem F. Dababneh, Ala'a A. Al-Bakheit et al.Jordan imports rice from different countries without any quality preferences. Twelve varieties of cooked rice marketed in Jordan were analyzed. The content per serving of these varieties were computed for energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron and phosphorous. The protein content per serving found to range from 0.49 g for La Cigala rice to 6.2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Fluoride and Other Ions on Algae and Fish of Coastal Water of Mediterranean Sea, EgyptM. S. Masoud, W. M. El-Sarraf, A. A. Harfoush, G. F. El-SaidSea grass, marine algae and fish samples were collected from the Egyptian coast of Mediterranean Sea during September 2000 and March 2001. The contents of fluoride and some interfering ions (calcium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphorus and some heavy metals) ions and their concentration factors were determined in the dried samples. Fluoride contents in macrophytes, algae, muscle of fish samples were ranged … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanocrystalline Powders of Alkaline-Earth Phosphates as Precursors for BioceramicsParhi Purnendu, A. Ramanan, Alok R. RayBone is a nanocomposite made of calcium phosphates and collagen. Collagen has a typical fibrous structure, with diameter ranging from 100 nm to 2 μm. It is suggested that calcium hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 in the size range 5-50 nm embedded in the collagen framework provides mechanical strength to bone. Among calcium phosphates, apatites are found to be the most suitable for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoceramic Matrices: Biomedical ApplicationsWilli Paul, Chandra P. SharmaNatural bone consisted of calcium phosphate with nanometer-sized needle-like crystals of approximately 5-20 nm width by 60 nm length. Synthetic calcium phosphates and Bioglass are biocompatible and bioactive as they bond to bone and enhance bone tissue formation. This property is attributed to their similarity with the mineral phase of natural bone except its constituent particle size. Calcium phosphate ceramics … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
