A chloride blood test, or serum chloride level, can be part of a comprehensive or basic metabolic panel. Some health conditions, including dehydration, can affect chloride levels. Chloride is an ...

A low anion gap results from an imbalance in the body’s pH levels. Healthcare professionals identify this “gap” by examining the results of a blood test that measures electrolyte levels. To maintain ...

This is the solution to a case we presented recently. You may review the case here. The patient had complained of dyspnea, and an abnormal electrolyte panel revealed a decreased bicarbonate level of ...

A molecular movie has captured in detail the process of an anion transported across the cell membrane by a light-fuelled protein pump. Researchers have unravelled the mystery of how light energy ...

My patient is a 74-year-old white woman who experienced recent atrial fibrillation with RVR that converted to normal sinus rhythm. She was found to have an elevated chloride level (85). Her blood urea ...

Selective extraction of specific, charge-dense anions from a solution is beneficial, but has been limited in practice by the inability of anion extraction to overcome the Hofmeister bias. In ...

To grab hold of an anion, an organic host molecule usually uses strong hydrogen-bond donors, such as N–H bonds or C–H bonds adjacent to a cationic center. Now, chemists at Indiana University have ...

In contrast to animal cells, plants use nitrate as a major source of nitrogen. Following the uptake of nitrate, this major macronutrient is fed into the vasculature for long-distance transport. The ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs of people suffering from cystic fibrosis. The chronic ...
