GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Our final experiment we shared with the kids at Plainfield Child Care was a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. It sort of illustrates a volcanic eruption, ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — It is time to mix the power of love with the chemistry between two chemicals. This experiment involves the chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and acidic ...

This Friday (June 11), we will explore the eruptive realm of acid-base chemistry in our new kids video series: Summer School with Live Science. In this week's installment, Live Science producer, Diana ...

IN spite of the widespread clinical use of acetylsalicylic acid in both buffered and unbuffered preparations, there is little information in the voluminous literature concerning the pharmacologic ...

Prior low-quality evidence has suggested that sodium bicarbonate may benefit critically ill patients with severe metabolic acidemia and acute kidney injury (AKI). In this randomized trial of patients ...

During a recent shift, our emergency department (ED) team saw a patient with fairly severe diabetic ketoacidosis. The patient's serum bicarbonate level was 6 mEq/L and the venous pH was 6.85. During ...

urine sample Oral sodium bicarbonate therapy given to patients with chronic kidney disease increases urinary pH but also increases urinary citrate levels, which may mitigate the risk for calcium ...

Anyone who’s done speedwork or lifted heavy knows the feeling—that achy, burning sensation in your muscles that grinds your workout to a halt. It’s painful, annoying, and pretty much impossible to ...

In critically ill patients with severe metabolic acidaemia (defined as pH ≤ 7.20) and moderate-to-severe acute kidney injury (AKI), intravenous sodium bicarbonate infusion did not reduce all-cause ...
