and the Short Form-36 Health Survey Physical Component Summary (SF-36 PCS), Mental Component Summary (MCS), and EuroQol (EQ-5D-3L) visual analog scale (VAS) were used for the adult cohort.
Transfusion with pRBCs does not ensure complete treatment of IDA because the form of iron obtained from transfused pRBCs is not immediately bioavailable for erythropoiesis and does not replenish iron stores. In addition, unnecessary pRBC transfusions expose patients to risks of transfusion reactions, ...
Recovery of alumina by alkaline leaching is less problematic than techniques using acid leaching. US Patent No. 4130627 (1978) describes the alkaline leaching method where in the process takes place in an aqueous alkali solution of approximately pH 13, using NaOH, to form an aqueous CFA blend. ...
Thus, at pH levels of seven and nine, the carboxylic groups were in dissociated form (-COO−). Thus, at pHs of seven and nine (pH > pKa), the carboxylate anions presented electrostatic repulsion among themselves. This induced a greater inflow of water (or aqueous liquids) into the ...
