Purpose: This study compares the ability of extrinsic stain removal and surface roughness changes on tooth surfaces after using two different types of dental air polishing powder: Sodium bicarbonate and novel eggshell powder.
Methods: For the study of extrinsic stain removal, twenty bovine teeth were soaked in coffee for extrinsic stain formation. Group 1 and Group 2 were polished with sodium bicarbonate powder and novel eggshell powder, respectively. The acquired stains of teeth were recorded as baseline, and color changes after cleaning with two different powders were also measured by colorimeter. Sixteen samples from eight human posterior teeth were used for the surface roughness test. Surface roughness values (S) of two groups (sodium bicarbonate and novel eggshell powder) were measured by a contact-type profilometer before and after polishing with two types of powders.
Results: The data showed that the average ΔE* value of the sodium bicarbonate group was higher than that of the novel eggshell powder group (P < 0.05). The average ΔS value of the sodium bicarbonate group was higher than that of the novel eggshell powder group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Sodium bicarbonate powder showed higher stain removal ability and surface roughness changes than the novel eggshell powder.

Investigating the fascinating world of natural fibers, where Syagrus romanzoffiana fibers (SrFs) are promising substitutes for glass and synthetic fibers in composite materials, is more than interesting. The improvement of SrFs through an environmentally friendly treatment employing sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) at different concentrations (5 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % by weight) over various durations (24, 72, and 168 h) is the subject of this study. The objective is to provide a sustainable and economical approach to enhancing fiber characteristics.

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.

Background: Individuals with end-stage renal disease may be at increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) associated with dialysis therapy. However, community-based studies with comprehensive adjudication of SCA are lacking.
Methods: We conducted a community-based study using a case-case study design in a US population of ≈1 million.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.

In the present study, the effects of glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) as an acid reagent during thermal treatment on the quality of alkaline dough and steamed buns were examined. During the heating process, GDL improved the viscoelasticity and fluidity of the alkaline dough and enhanced intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The hardness of steamed buns was reduced by 61.
