  • We recruited a higher risk group than we thought, which is why the control event rates were higher than we expected, but the acute kidney injury reduction is roughly what we had estimated, and makes sense biologically. (medscape.com)
  • The company's system allows extremely small concentrations of contaminants to be detected, which is essential for detecting many problematic contaminants. (marsdd.com)
  • Other weather events causing potentially high nitrates include hail, frost, and cloudy weather, although these are much less likely. (ontario.ca)
  • Responding to questions about whether such a large effect could actually be achieved with dietary nitrates, Jones said he thought there would definitely be some benefits, but maybe not quite as large as those seen in this study. (medscape.com)
  • The nitrate group also showed an impressive reduction in periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) and improved renal function at 3 months, as well as a halving of major adverse cardiovascular events and major adverse kidney events at 1 year. (medscape.com)
  • Transitioning from dryland production to irrigation can lead to increased nitrate-N concentrations. (unl.edu)
  • Real Tech's technology provides an enhanced ability to detect nitrate and presents more accurate measurements than its competitors. (marsdd.com)
  • Under certain environmental conditions, this corn can be high in nitrates (NO 3 ) which can result in the fatal poisoning of livestock, and also the death of humans from silo gas. (ontario.ca)
  • Nitrate concentration can be dangerous passed a certain level. (wikipedia.org)
  • The bottom third of the stalk contains a much higher level of nitrates. (ontario.ca)
  • In addition to the saliva, secretion of nitrate occurs at other sites in the GI tract leading to reduction by the gut flora. (inchem.org)
