10% calcium gluconate solution (given intravenously) is the form of calcium most widely used in the treatment of low blood calcium.This form of calcium is not as well absorbed as calcium lactate, [12] and it only contains 0.93% (93 mg/dL) calcium ion (defined by 1 g weight solute in 100 mL of solution to make 1% solution w/v).
The intravenous formulations of calcium include calcium chloride and calcium gluconate. [1] The forms that are taken by mouth include calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium gluconate, calcium lactate, and calcium phosphate. [1] The absorption of calcium from most food and commonly used dietary supplements is very similar. [27]
Too much calcium channel blockers either by accident or on purpose [3] Differential diagnosis: Beta blocker toxicity [1] Treatment: Activated charcoal, whole bowel irrigation, intravenous fluids, calcium gluconate, glucagon, high dose insulin, vasopressors, lipid emulsion [1] [2] Prognosis: High risk of death [2] Frequency > 10,000 (US) [2]
Pangamic acid, also called pangamate, is the name given to a chemical compound discovered by Ernst T. Krebs Sr.His son, Ernst T. Krebs Jr., promoted it as a medicinal compound for use in treatment of a wide range of diseases.
Gluconate is also an electrolyte present in certain solutions, such as "plasmalyte a", used for intravenous fluid resuscitation. [20] Quinine gluconate is a salt of gluconic acid and quinine, which is used for intramuscular injection in the treatment of malaria. Ferrous gluconate injections have been proposed in the past to treat anemia. [21]
Medical research for cancer begins much like research for any disease. In organized studies of new treatments for cancer, the pre-clinical development of drugs, devices, and techniques begins in laboratories, either with isolated cells or in small animals, most commonly rats or mice. In other cases, the proposed treatment for cancer is already ...
Thapsigargin raises cytosolic (intracellular) calcium concentration by blocking the ability of the cell to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticula. Store-depletion can secondarily activate plasma membrane calcium channels , allowing an influx of calcium into the cytosol.
Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment. [1] Treatments can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy including small-molecule drugs or monoclonal antibodies, [2] and PARP inhibitors such as olaparib.
