Recognition and management of children with increased lead absorption.
Childhood lead poisoning has been increasingly recognised in the USA where large-scale screening programmes detect some 40 000 cases of undue lead absorption a year. This contrasts with data from the UK where about 100 cases are recognised each year. The situation in other countries is largely unknown, although small surveys have revealed cases from a wide variety of sources. These apparent dis...
متن کاملPredicting the outcome of the CaNa2EDTA challenge test in children with moderately elevated blood lead levels.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the challenge test for children whose blood lead levels are 1.21-2.12 micromol/L (25-44 microg/dL). However, the challenge test is difficult to perform. By identifying children who are likely to have a negative challenge test, a medical provider can minimize the number of children undergoing this test. The goal of this study was to identif...
متن کاملComparative provocative tests in glaucoma.
IT is the purpose of this paper to compare the results of the lability test of Bloomfield and Lambert (1945) with those of its two components, the venous-congestion test of Schoenberg (1929) (referred to as the "cuff test") and the coldpressure test of Kahler and Sallmann (1929) (referred to as the "ice test"), on a number of normal and glaucomatous eyes, in conditions which correspond as close...
متن کاملSpirometry Findings Following Treatment with Oral and Inhalant Corticosteroids in Mild to Moderate Asthma Exacerbation in Children
Introduction: Asthma exacerbation is common in children. Treatment with oral corticosteroids (OCS) and inhaled corticosteroids are suggested for asthma exacerbation. It is shown that inhaled corticosteroids has similar outcome in reducing asthma symptoms compared to OCS. But few studies have evaluated the pulmonary function changes in these two treatments. In this study, we evaluated the chang...
متن کاملSequential measurements of bone lead content by L X-ray fluorescence in CaNa2EDTA-treated lead-toxic children.
With the development of L X-ray fluorescence (LXRF) to measure cortical bone lead directly, safely, rapidly, and noninvasively, the present study was undertaken to a) evaluate LXRF as a possible replacement for the CaNa2EDTA test; b) quantify lead in tibial cortical bones of mildly to moderately lead-toxic children before treatment; and c) quantify lead in tibial cortical bones of lead-toxic ch...
