The Source Matters-Effects of High Phosphate Intake from Eight Different Sources in Dogs.

Elevated serum phosphate concentrations are an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality in chronic kidney disease in various species. Independent associations of other parameters of phosphorus metabolism, such as phosphorus intake from different sources and serum concentrations of phosphorus, as well as parameters involved in the regulation, such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) or markers of bone turnover, have been studied in less detail. Therefore, the serum kinetics of phosphate, PTH, and the bone resorption marker bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) were investigated after 18 days of feeding a control diet and diets supplemented with eight different organic and inorganic phosphate sources aiming at 1.

[Acute intoxications in the intensive care unit: A 10-year analysis].

Background: Acute intoxications play a special role in preclinical emergency medicine, in the emergency department, and in intensive care. This study characterizes cases of acute intoxications from an intensive care perspective.

Objectives: All cases of acute intoxications admitted to the intensive care units at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf between 01 January 2007 and 30 June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.

Impedes Growth of spp. in Cottage Cheese through Manganese Limitation.

Acidification and nutrient depletion by dairy starter cultures is often sufficient to prevent outgrowth of pathogens during post-processing of cultured dairy products. In the case of cottage cheese, however, the addition of cream dressing to the curd and subsequent cooling procedures can create environments that may be hospitable for the growth of . We report on a non-bacterio-cinogenic strain that severely limits the growth potential of in creamed cottage cheese.

Regulation and distinct physiological roles of manganese in bacteria.

Manganese (Mn2+) is an essential trace element within organisms spanning the entire tree of life. In this review, we provide an overview of Mn2+ transport and the regulation of its homeostasis in bacteria, with a focus on its functions beyond being a cofactor for enzymes. Crucial differences in Mn2+ homeostasis exist between bacterial species that can be characterized to have an iron- or manganese-centric metabolism.
