Using x-ray microanalysis technique the distribution of potassium, phosphorus and sulphur was analysed in Acanthamoeba castellanii cells. Distribution of potassium was nonuniform; the high level of the element was observed in the cortex region of these cells. Distribution of phosphorus was shown to be similar to that of potassium, whereas sulphur was rather uniformly distributed.

Background: Patients with both heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often treated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), but these drugs can cause hyperkalemia, which may lead to their reduction or discontinuation, resulting in the loss of their beneficial effects. Approaches to managing RAASi-induced hyperkalemia are discordant, so in this study we aimed to establish a cross-specialty consensus on the optimal approach to managing hyperkalemia in patients with HF and CKD.

Methods And Results: The study used a modified Delphi methodology.

Chromium (Cr) is a frequent constituent of the metal alloys proposed for molten salt nuclear reactor (MSR) applications, and is typically the least noble metal ion present. Consequently, chromium is preferentially corroded into molten salt solutions. The redox poise and redox cycling of chromium ions in the salt can greatly influence its corrosivity towards structural alloys, ultimately impacting the longevity of MSR systems.

A screen house experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Tithonia diversifolia biochar on selected soil physicochemical properties. The study included five treatments with Tithonia diversifolia biochar applied at rates of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 t ha, arranged in a completely randomised design with three replicates. Surface soil (0-15 cm depth) from the Iwo soil series (sandy loam) was collected from the Teaching and Research Farm of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria.

Recently, the potential for dietary personalization based on genetic/phenotypic characteristics to improve health has been studied. While promising, inputs into this biology-focused personalization process are intensive and may not align with an individual's own health priorities, which drive health behaviors. Here, we examine how personalizing food suggestions based on individuals' health priorities affects the healthiness of their food choices.
