Calcium definition

The term lime also has a broad coimotation and frequently is used in referring to limestone. According to precise definition, lime can only be a burned form quicklime, hydrated lime, or hydraiflic lime. These products are oxides or hydroxides of calcium and magnesium, except hydraiflic types in which the CaO and MgO are chemically combined with impurities. The oxide is converted to a hydroxide by slaking, an exothermic reaction in which the water combines chemically with the lime. These reversible reactions for both high calcium and dolomitic types are Quicklime... 

From the data available, calcium appears to be generally useful for the deacetoxylation of ketol acetates, whereas the utility of lithium is definitely established only for 17-acetoxy-20-ketopregnane derivatives. 

Calcium exists in the human body as Ca(II) protein-bound and free Ca (II) ions (Dilana et al. 1994). For total extracellular Ca in plasma, serum and urine a definitive isotope dilution-mass spectrometry (ID-MS) method exist. Free Ca(II) in plasma/serum can be determined with PISE, but no definitive and reference methods exist. For Ca in faeces, tissue and blood flame atomic absorption (FAAS) is used widely. 

The residue definition is for the parent, prohexadione-calcium, only. 

ACE inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB) have definite benefits in patients with nephropathy and are believed to have renoprotective effects in most patients. Due to their ability to cause an initial bump in serum creatinine, these agents should be used cautiously when employed in combination with the calcineurin inhibitors. The dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers have demonstrated an ability to reverse the nephrotoxicity associated with cyclosporine and tacrolimus (Table 52-8). In general, antihypertensive therapy should focus on agents with proven benefit in reducing the progression of cardiovascular disease and should be chosen on a patient-specific basis.55 See Chapter 2 for further recommendations for treating HTN. 

Scale formation in the scrubber can lead to sodium carbonate as an additional dry sorbent in the scrubber. Alternatively, limestone is also introduced into combustion chambers to treat sulfur dioxide emissions. Decomposition of CaC03 into CaO and CO2 occurs in the combustion chamber, and the resulting CaO combines with S02 to produce calcium sulfite. Notice that this process produced another potentially environmentally harmful pollutant (CO2) as it gets rid of a definite environmentally harmful pollutant (SO2). 

That branch of chemistry which deals with the compounds of the element carbon the simpler carbon-containing compounds (such as calcium carbonate) are usually classed with inorganic chemistry and an alternative definition of organic chemistry is the chemistry of the hydrocarbons and their compounds. 

Case definitions exist for the following agents anhydrous ammonia (C11-A061), arsenic trioxide (C11-A047), calcium arsenate (C11-A048), copper acetoarsenite (C11-A049),... 

The definitive treatment of severe hyperkalemia in ESRD is hemodialysis. Temporary measures include calcium gluconate, insulin and glucose, nebulized albuterol, and sodium polystyrene sulfonate. 

Calcium and magnesium deficiency also occur in some patients with the malabsorption syndrome and this may lead to tetany or bone changes. Low blood calcium levels may result from decreased absorption associated with lack of effective compensatory parathyroid activity. In patients in whom secondary hyperparathyroidism is effective, extensive loss of calcium from the bones may occur. The cause of the defective absorption of calcium in patients of the sprue group is complex and not yet fully understood (B3, Dl, Jl, M7, Nl). It is important that complications such as calcium or magnesium deficiency should be corrected before the final steps of definitive diagnosis are attempted. If this is not done, the secondary effects may obscure the results of other tests. 

Wheat bran has been the fiber source most commonly used to study effects of dietary fiber on calcium absorption in controlled laboratory studies. However, wheat bran and other forms of fiber as they occur in food products present several disadvantages in terms of definition and by concurrently altering intakes of other substances or materials known or suspected of having an adverse effect on the bioavailability of calcium such as phytates and oxalates (5,13,17,22-28). Several studies have been conducted which have sought to separate or compare the effects of phytate and fiber... 

These steps give us the moles of calcium hydroxide. To get the molarity of calcium hydroxide, we use the definition of molarity, which tells us we need to divide these moles by the volume, in liters, of the calcium hydroxide solution. In order to finish the problem, we must add one more step ...
