First, look at detailed #ADVOR protocol below:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
We did 2 consecutive urine collections:
1. Randomization => First morning (<24 h)
2. First morning => Second morning (=24 h)
If in those 2 collections, cumulative urine output <3.5 L ➡️ Failed decongestion!

Allocation to #acetazolamide clearly increased:
✅total urine output (+12.6%)
✅total natriuresis (+26.9%)
In relative terms: effect on natriuresis > urine output, UO🚫significant after 1st diuretic dose, natriuresis remained high!
*Normalized UO to 24 h for collection 1.

1️⃣1️⃣ #Sodium : Na
Encore un que vous mangez tous les jours, et pourtant, il peut s'avérer mortel pour diverses raisons !
Le plus abondant des alcalins sur Terre, sa place n'est surtout pas dans une piscine, sauf si celle-ci est nucléaire.
Thread garanti non sans sel 🧂

L'exemple le plus iconique quand on parle DES sels, car oui il n'existe pas que le sel de table (NaCl), mais de nombreux autres sels impliquant même d'autres éléments.
C'est principalement sous ses formes salines que le sodium a été historiquement exploité depuis l'Antiquité.

En particulier le natron (carbonate de sodium) était déjà mentionné dans des hiéroglyphes : étant bactéricide et déssicant (séchant), il servait aux momifications.
C'est aussi du natron (ou plutôt de son origine latine «natrium») que le symbole du sodium «Na» tire son origine !

Can #drinking excess amount of #water lead to death?
1. Water is life-saving and is essential for survival. However, ingestion of excess amounts of water, especially over a short period of time can lead to serious health hazards, including #death.

2. How much water is needed on daily basis?
The normal daily requirement of water is 2.5 to 3 liters.
The requirement may be higher in summer months. Requirement also increases during #exercise (due to sweating), during fever, diarrhea or vomiting.

3. Why do some people drink excess amounts of water?
There is a misconception that drinking more water is good for #health.
Some people can drink more water due to #psychiatric illnesses.
#athletes can overestimate fluid loss and drink an excess amount of water.

$GWSO 🔥 Dr. Elena Shembel has been working with startup MaxAh to enhance #Lithium-ion batteries with novel graphene that THEY source and synthesize. DYK #Graphene also happens to be the most promising electrode material for superior performance in #Sodium-ion batteries. 😁
👀 Presented at ABAF, partnered with Delfast and published with ECS… Dr. Shembel is drawing attention from the industry’s scientific community as she has in the past. I see a preview of catalysts to come for $GWSO drive.google.com/file/d/1dxlpw_…
The PR timeline is interesting here as well… all sorts of validation 😏 ain.capital/2021/11/24/max…
The story of how @Altris_ab came to be and my involvement in PBA research is also a nice one. It was really a combination of the right people meeting at the right time and at the right place.
It began with Ronnie Mogensen, who was working on polymer electrolytes at the time and just needed a reliable positive electrode that was easy to make. He tried NaFePO4 which didn't always function. Then he turned to NaxFe[Fe(CN)6]. This always worked to a reasonable degree
He then stumbled upon a paper where the group of John Goodenough (Nobel laureate in chemistry for Li-ion #batteries) made rhombohedral Prussian white. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Over 10 years ago, @ChemistryWorld started a project with the @NakedScientists (especially @Meera_Senthi) to tell the story of each chemical #element: The Chemistry in its Element #podcast. Let's look back for #IYPT2019. Here's @brianclegg with #hydrogen:

@ChemistryWorld @NakedScientists @Meera_Senthi @brianclegg The podcasts weren't published in atomic number order – we jumped around the #periodictable a bit – but here's @peterwothers getting grumpy about party balloons and the loss of the precious elemental resource: #Helium

#Lithium lubricates bearings & boosts batteries, but is also an important drug for depression and bipolar disorder. Nirvana sang about it in 1990 and, hot on their heels, Matt Wilkinson wrote a #podcast for @ChemistryWorld in 2009: chemistryworld.com/podcasts/lithi… #IYPT2019 #Mendeleev
