Background: Phosphate is an important factor in explaining the high progress of vascular calcification among dialysis patients. Today, phosphate concentration is measured in plasma on a regular basis. The aim of this study was to find out if it is possible to estimate total removed phosphate (TRp) in spent dialysate utilizing UV absorbance during hemodiafiltration.
Methods: Eleven patients were monitored online with UV absorbance at 297 nm, three times during one week each (n = 33). Dialysate samples were taken at different times during treatment and from a collection tank to chemically determine phosphate concentrations. Two mathematical models (UVIND and UVGROUP) were tested to estimate TRp with supervision by UV absorbance and compared with TRp measured in the tank (reference).
Results: High correlation between UV absorbance and phosphate concentration for each single patient and lower for the whole group together was found. TRp was (mean ± SD) 30.7 ± 7.3 mmol for the reference and 30.8 ± 8.2 and 29.1 ± 5.2 mmol for UVIND and UVGROUP, respectively (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a novel possibility to estimate TRp based on linear relationship between online monitoring of UV absorbance and concentration of phosphate in spent dialysate.

Background: Synthesis of organic@inorganic hNFs is achieved by the coordination of organic compounds containing amine, amide, and diol groups with bivalent metals. The use of bio-extracts containing these functional groups instead of expensive organic inputs such as DNA, enzymes, and protein creates advantages in terms of cost and applicability. In this study, the application potentials (antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, guaiacol, anionic, and cationic dye degradation) of hybrid (organic@inorganic) nanoflowers (hNFs) synthesized with Cu and snakeskin (SSS) were proposed.

Infected alveolar bone defects pose challenging clinical issues due to disrupted intrinsic healing mechanisms. Thus, the employment of advanced biomaterials enabling the modulation of several aspects of bone regeneration is necessary. This study investigated the effect of multi-functional nanoparticles on anti-inflammatory/osteoconductive characteristics and bone repair in the context of inflamed bone abnormalities.

The present study applied a combined analytical quality-by-design and green analytical chemistry approach to develop an HPLC method for the determination of four cephalosporin pharmaceuticals in both their formulations and water samples. These drugs include ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ceftazidime and cefoperazone. A Box-Behnken experimental design was employed to optimize three chromatographic parameters: mobile phase composition, flow rate and buffer pH.

A two-year study has been conducted to optimize saffron cormlet production in a soilless cultivation system. Variations in the concentration of phosphate, boron, and irrigation events were assessed in the first year. Subsequently, after optimizing the substrate composition, the effects of nutrient solution volume and the concentration of nitrate, iron, and boron were investigated on the yield and weight of cormlets and leaves, photosynthetic activities, and productivity of nutrient solutions in the second year.
