The faecal output of chloride, sodium and potassium was studied in 14 patients with active idiopathic proctocolitis, in an attempt to establish a relationship between faecal electrolyte output and acid-base balance data. 7 patients with ileostomy and 8 healthy volunteers were used as controls. The daily faecal excretion of chloride and sodium in proctocolitis was significantly in excess of normal, whereas that of potassium was within the normal range. From the comparison with the results in patients with ileostomy it is concluded that colitic colon has an impaired capacity to absorb chloride and sodium but retains the ability to secrete potassium. The intestinal loss of chloride in addition to that of sodium and water may be regarded as a salt-losing diarrhoea and may account for the metabolic alkalosis commonly found in proctocolitis.

Determination of reference intervals of venous blood gas and acid-base parameters in clinically healthy awake cats.

Background: Venous blood gas and acid-base analysis is often performed in cats and requires appropriate reference intervals (RIs) for interpretation. The currently available RIs were created from small numbers of cats, while current guidelines suggest that a minimum number of 40 samples is required for the creation of an accurate/appropriate RI.
Key Findings: In 41 healthy awake cats, pH, PCO, PO, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, chloride, glucose, and plasma lactate concentrations were measured, while bicarbonate, standardized base excess, and anion gap were calculated.

Climate change, drought, and soil salinization present huge limitations to global agricultural output, which threatens food security. This necessitates the cultivation and domestication of wild edible halophytes as alternatives to mainstream food crops, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. is one of the under-researched and underutilized edible halophytes native to South Africa.

Research Background: Porang ( Blume) contains a high amount of starch, glucomannan and Ca-oxalate. Soaking porang tuber in acid (citric acid) and salt (sodium chloride) solutions affects the Ca-oxalate content, functional, rheological and thermal properties of porang flour. The aim of this study is to thoroughly investigate the effect of soaking treatments in acid and salt solutions at different temperatures on the physicochemical, rheological and thermal properties, functional groups, molecular mass and morphology of porang flour.

Passive radiative cooling technology serves as an energy-free alternative to traditional cooling systems. Porous polymer structures are frequently employed for radiative cooling by leveraging the refractive index mismatch between the polymer and the pores, enabling the scattering of incoming sunlight. Recently, water-soluble and readily available Sodium chloride (NaCl) particles have been utilized as sacrificial templates for sustainable pore creation.
