Photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) and converts it into energy as biomass {CHO}. This is an important part of the carbon cycle as this is the primary step of the food chain and allows the carbon to be consumed and used by other species to grow. Respiration is the opposite process where biomass is consumed and CO2 is produced. Photosynthesis is often called a carbon sink.
Medications to treat gout attacks. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs include over-the-counter options such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, others), as well as more-powerful prescription NSAIDs such as indomethacin (Indocin) or celecoxib (Celebrex).
Salicylate, which is a main ingredient of aspirin and other analgesics, can also trigger an attack of gout. Even though these medications are often used in the treatment of gout pain, they can sometimes interfere with the kidney's ability to eliminate uric acid and thus may trigger more gout attacks.
