Periodic family

Another way to group the elements on the periodic table is in terms of periods and groups (families). Periods are the horizontal rows, which have consecutive atomic numbers. The periods are numbered from 1 to 7. Elements in the same period do not have similar properties in terms of reactions.

With prolonged use of the carbonic anhydrase Inhibitor diuretics, the urine becomes more alkaline, and the blood becomes more acidic. When acidosis occurs, the carbonic anhydrase Inhibitors lose their effectiveness as diuretics. They remain Ineffective until normal acid-base balance In the body has been regained. For this reason, this class of compounds Is limited In Its diuretic use. Today, they are most commonly used In the treatment of glaucoma. In which they reduce the rate of aqueous humor formation and, subsequently, reduce the Intraocular pressure. These compounds also have found some limited use In the treatment of absence seizures, to alkallnize the urine, to treat familial periodic paralysis, to reduce metabolic alkalosis, and prophylactically, to reduce acute mountain sickness.
