AI Article Synopsis
- Three types of calcium bilirubinate salts, including acid, neutral, and intermediate, have been created.
- The intermediate salt likely has a unique crystal structure that includes features of both acid and neutral salts, consisting of 1.5 bilirubin molecules per calcium atom.
- Recent X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that acid or intermediate salts were present in 14 out of 70 gallstones studied.
Article Abstract
1. The acid, neutral and "intermediate" salts of calcium bilirubinate have been synthesized. 2. All are crystalline, and the intermediate salt which has 1 1/2 molecules of bilirubin per calcium atom probably has a crystal structure containing molecules of both acid and neutral salts. 3. The acid or intermediate salts have been found in 14 out of 70 gallstones analysed recently by X-ray diffraction.

: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonists are commonly used in clinical practice for their roles in calcium regulation and potential benefits in various diseases. However, their safety profiles, particularly for compounds available as food supplements, remain underexplored in real-world settings. This study aimed to analyze the safety profiles of VDR agonists using the EudraVigilance database, focusing on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported between 1 January 2004 and 23 June 2024.

In this paper, the enhancement of thermochemical energy storage by alkali metal chloride salts-doped Ca-based sorbents is revealed by experiments and DFT calculations. The results indicate that NaCl and KCl doping increases the reaction rate and cycle stability. Compared to CaO, the conversion of NaCl-CaO and KCl-CaO after one cycle is increased by 59.

: Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is a common condition characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the kidneys of very preterm infants due to tubular immaturity, intensive treatment and nutritional supplements. However, optimal vitamin D supplementation remains unclear. In most patients, NC spontaneously resolves within the first year of life, but long-term kidney function data are lacking.

Parenteral nutrition is a high-risk therapy due to some of its components and the exceptional inclusion of drugs. It can contain more than 50 nutrients, with different characteristics of osmolarity, ionic charge, and pH, which can affect its physicochemical stability. In addition, environmental conditions such as light, temperature, and oxygen must be considered.

A downstream process for the recovery and purification of acetic acid (AA) from an extremely diluted solution (100 mg L) also containing a mixture of contaminating inorganic salts in the form of bicarbonates, phosphates, sulfates and chlorides (DPM medium) has been developed, showing its technical feasibility. The process involves two successive steps based on the use of a mixed bed ion exchange (IEX) resin. The first step, a demineralization treatment to remove the inorganic anions that could potentially interfere with the recovery and purification of AA, involves a combined treatment of calcium precipitation, acidification with the Amberlite IR-120 resin and treatment with the Amberlite MB20 mixed bed resin.
