Urinary Excretion of Antimony after Administration of Methyl Glucamine Antimoniate. Preliminary Observations

Disintegration of antimony-124.

The radiations from 60-day Sb lN have been studied by several investigators. H ales and Jordan [2] used a 1800 spectrometer to study the beta spectrum of Sb124. Tbey report the presence of two components with maximum cnergies at 0.74 ± O.03 and 2.45 ± 0.07 million electron volts (NIev) . ~1iller and Omtiss [3], u ing a thin magnetic len spectrometer , also ob erved a complex beta specLrum, but ...

Antimony Toxicity

Antimony toxicity occurs either due to occupational exposure or during therapy. Occupational exposure may cause respiratory irritation, pneumoconiosis, antimony spots on the skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition antimony trioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Improvements in working conditions have remarkably decreased the incidence of antimony toxicity in the workplace. As a th...

ABSTRACT A longitudinal study was done in a leishmaniasis-endemic region in eastern Sudan during the period November 2001–February 2003 to determine the incidence of failure of sodium stibogluconate treatment. We studied 820 confirmed visceral leishmaniasis patients. All were treated with sodium stibogluconate, 20 mg/kg bo...

Production of 99mTc-Antimony Sulfide Colloid for lymphoscintigraphy [Persian]

Introduction: The lymphatic system provides one of the main paths for the spread (Metastasis) of cancer from one part of body to another. Hodgkin’s diseases, lymphocytic leukemia, various metastatic disease and many lymph node disorders can be assessed by lymphoscintigraphy. Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy has been used for many years to define lymphatic drainage of melanoma. The most com...
