Phase Relations in the Na, K//Cl, SO, CO-HO Quinary System at 35 °C.

The phase equilibria in the quinary Na, K//Cl, SO, CO-HO system at 35 °C were determined, and a total phase equilibria diagram of the system was constructed by means of the translation method. Six points saturated with four solid phases, 19 curves saturated with three solid phases, and 21 fields saturated with two solid phases were determined in the system. Structures of dry-salt diagrams for the parts saturated with each of the nine solid phases were extracted from the total phase equilibria diagram of the system.

The Effects of Wet Cupping Therapy on the Blood Levels of Some Heavy Metals: A Pilot Study.

Background And Aim: Heavy metals have been recognized as toxins for centuries. Cupping therapy has been shown to aid in the excretion of accumulated fluids and toxins from the interstitial fluid. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of wet cupping therapy on blood levels of heavy metals.
