Objective: To show the effect of potassium citrate treatment on overactive bladder disease in patients with kidney stone and overactive bladder symptoms.
Study Design: Experimental study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Urology, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University and Department of Urology, Süleyman Demirel University, Turkey, from October 2019 to July 2020.
Methodology: Patients with an indication for starting potassium citrate therapy because of kidney stone, and patients with symptoms of overactive bladder disease were included in the study. At the beginning of the treatment, the overactive bladder-version 8 form was filled and potassium citrate 10 meq 2x2 dose was started to the patients. The effect of potassium citrate on the symptoms of overactive bladder disease was demonstrated by filling the overactive bladder-version 8 form after one month of treatment.
Results: A total of 82 people, 36 men and 46 women, participated in the study. Potassium citrate treatment caused a significant increase in urine pH levels (p<0.001). After potassium citrate treatment, there was a significant decrease in the score of the overactive bladder-version 8 form. (p<0.001). A positive correlation was found between age and overactive bladder-version 8 score change (p = 0.004).
Conclusion: Potassium citrate can be used in the treatment of overactive bladder disease. The effect of potassium citrate treatment on ameliorating overactive bladder symptoms is more distinct in elderly patients. Key Words: Renal stones, Potassium citrate, Overactive bladder.

Osmotic dehydration as a process of removing water from food by immersing the raw material in a hypertonic solution is used primarily to extend the shelf life of products and as a pretreatment before further processing steps, such as drying and freezing. However, due to the bi-directional mass transfer that occurs during osmotic dehydration, the process can also be used to shape sensory properties and enrich the plant matrix with nutrients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of osmotic dehydration on the absorption of potassium by beet pulp immersed in various hypertonic solutions (sucrose, inulin, erythritol, xylitol solutions) with the addition of three chemical forms of potassium (gluconate, citrate, chloride) using variable process conditions.

Background: Highbush blueberry fruits have attracted a lot of attention from consumers due to their exquisite taste and considerable quantities of bioactive compounds. This premium-class foodstuff also contains antioxidant enzymes (phenoloxidases) implicated in the degradation of polyphenols that lead to discoloration and loss of antioxidant activity during fruit ripening. Despite substantial progress in research focused on fruit quality, unanswered questions remain about the effect of fertilizer strategy in soilless blueberry cultivation on the phytochemical content and phenoloxidases activities.

In the past, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like camrelizumab have been associated with rheumatic immune-related adverse events (irAEs).To prevent serious adverse consequences, early diagnosis of rheumatic irAEs is crucial. A 40-year-old patient with malignant melanoma experienced severe hypokalemia and fatigue after 6 months of camrelizumab therapy, which was unresponsive to potassium chloride supplementation.

Background: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an important blood purification technology and most patients require multiple consecutive TPEs. Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) could be used for membrane therapeutic plasma exchange (mTPE). However, there is no research on the metabolic complications of the RCA for patients receiving multiple consecutive mTPEs with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) as a replacement solution.

Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D is crucial for calcium regulation and overall health, with infants needing 400 IU daily, but the supplement market lacks consistent regulations that can lead to risks.
- A case study of a 22-month-old girl shows how an overdose—25 times the recommended dosage—led to nephrocalcinosis and various symptoms due to excessive vitamin D intake from an online supplement.
- This incident underscores the dangers of self-administering vitamin D without medical supervision, highlighting the need for cautious healthcare guidance on vitamin D supplementation.
