The electrostatic origins of specific ion effects: quantifying the Hofmeister series for anions.

Chemical science

Gregory KP, Wanless EJ, Webber GB, Craig VSJ, Page AJ.
PMID: 34976339
Chem Sci. 2021 Oct 16;12(45):15007-15015. doi: 10.1039/d1sc03568a. eCollection 2021 Nov 24.

Life as we know it is dependent upon water, or more specifically salty water. Without dissolved ions, the interactions between biological molecules are insufficiently complex to support life. This complexity is intimately tied to the variation in properties induced...

Background. Hypertension and dyslipidemia are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease and commonly coexist. Cardiovascular risk can be reliably predicted using lipid ratios such as the atherogenic index, a useful prognostic parameter for guiding timely interventions. Objective. We...

"Ebinyo"-The Practice of Infant Oral Mutilation in Uganda.

Frontiers in public health

Wandera MN, Kasumba B.
PMID: 28770190
Front Public Health. 2017 Jul 17;5:167. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2017.00167. eCollection 2017.

Infant oral mutilation (IOM) is a traditional method of extracting un-erupted teeth practiced in several Sub-Saharan African countries including Uganda. This practice is referred to as "ebinyo" by Bantu-speaking Ethnic groups, though it has several terms depending on cultural...

Lewis Strength Determines Specific-Ion Effects in Aqueous and Nonaqueous Solvents.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Gregory KP, Webber GB, Wanless EJ, Page AJ.
