The concentration of zinc in relation to fundamental elements in the diseased human prostate
International Urology and Nephrology
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Studies of the composition of prostatic tissue revealed significant decreases not only of the zinc but also of the potassium concentration, in the cancerous tissue, whereas the nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium concentrations were within normal limits. The composition of hyperplastic prostatic tissue was similar to the normal except for a tendency towards decreased nitrogen concentration.

01:26EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents
EDTA titrations are usually carried out in highly basic conditions, where the fully deprotonated form of EDTA, Y4−, actively complexes with the free metal ions in the solution. Several metal ions precipitate as hydrous oxide (hydroxides, oxides, or oxyhydroxides) under these conditions, lowering the concentration of free metal ions in the solution. For this reason, auxiliary complexing agents or ligands such as ammonia, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine are used in EDTA titrations to...
01:20Disorders of the Male Reproductive System
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra. Symptoms...
