  2. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Low potassium is caused by increased excretion of potassium, decreased consumption of potassium rich foods, movement of potassium into the cells, or certain endocrine diseases. [3] Excretion is the most common cause of hypokalemia and can be caused by diuretic use, metabolic acidosis , diabetic ketoacidosis , hyperaldosteronism , and renal ...

  3. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    With no potassium intake, it is excreted at about 200 mg per day until, in about a week, potassium in the serum declines to a mildly deficient level of 3.0–3.5 mmol/L. [107] If potassium is still withheld, the concentration continues to fall until a severe deficiency causes eventual death.

  4. Chemical oxygen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_generator

    The oxidizer core is sodium chlorate (Na Cl O 3), which is mixed with less than 5 percent barium peroxide (Ba O 2) and less than 1 percent potassium perchlorate (K Cl O 4). The explosives in the percussion cap are a lead styphnate and tetrazene explosive mixture. The chemical reaction is exothermic and the exterior temperature of the generator ...

  5. Hypokalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemia

    Hypokalemia is a low level of potassium (K +) in the blood serum. [1] Mild low potassium does not typically cause symptoms. [3] Symptoms may include feeling tired, leg cramps, weakness, and constipation. [1]

  6. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

    Of these, potassium dichromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7) is the most effective: it is relatively cheap, easy to purify, and can nearly completely oxidize almost all organic compounds. In these methods, a fixed volume with a known excess amount of the oxidant is added to a sample of the solution being analyzed.

  7. Magnesium deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_deficiency

    Deficiency of magnesium can cause tiredness, generalized weakness, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms, increased irritability of the nervous system with tremors, paresthesias, palpitations, low potassium levels in the blood, hypoparathyroidism which might result in low calcium levels in the blood, chondrocalcinosis, spasticity and tetany, migraines, epileptic seizures, [7] basal ganglia ...

  8. Roblox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox

    Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system built around user-generated content and games, [1] [2] officially referred to as "experiences". [3] Games can be created by any user through the platforms game engine, Roblox Studio, [4] and then shared to and played by other players. [1]

  9. BK channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BK_channel

    BK channels (big potassium), are large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, [1] also known as Maxi-K, slo1, or Kca1.1. BK channels are voltage-gated potassium channels that conduct large amounts of potassium ions (K + ) across the cell membrane , hence their name, big potassium .
