Intracranial calcification in adults with chronic lead exposure.
Computed tomographic (CT) findings of cerebral and cerebellar calcification are described in three American adults with raised serum lead levels and known exposure to lead for 30 or more years. Calcification patterns were punctiform, curvilinear, speck-like, and diffuse and were found in the subcortical area, basal ganglia, vermis, and cerebellum. Admission serum lead levels ranged from 54 to 7...

متن کاملLead exposure and periodontitis in US adults.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Lead is known to have significant effects on bone metabolism and the immune system. This study tested the hypothesis that lead exposure affects periodontitis in adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study used the data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-94). It analyzed data from 2500 men and 2399 women, 20-56 yr old, who rec...
متن کاملDecreased Brain Volume in Adults with Childhood Lead Exposure
BACKGROUND Although environmental lead exposure is associated with significant deficits in cognition, executive functions, social behaviors, and motor abilities, the neuroanatomical basis for these impairments remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the relationship between childhood lead exposure and adult brain volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also explored how ...
متن کاملProton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Adults with Childhood Lead Exposure
BACKGROUND Childhood lead exposure adversely affects neurodevelopment. However, few studies have examined changes in human brain metabolism that may underlie known adverse cognitive and behavioral outcomes. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between mean childhood blood lead levels and in vivo brain metabolite concentrations as adults, determined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (...
