The ‘acidity myth’ is widely marketed; however, true systemic acidosis is rare in healthy individuals, and alkali therapy has limited evidence outside specific diseases.

An acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their ...

To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...
