Researchers at the University of California at Irvine have recently completed a three-year project to assess lead exposure in more than 1,719 children in Tijuana, Mexico, and launch a lead prevention public health program there. Besides already producing positive effects in Tijuana, researchers say, the program could eventually lower the risk of lead poisoning among migrant children in the Unit...

Blood lead and haemoglobin in lead absorption.

a low haemoglobin but none had symptoms or signs that were likely to be due to lead absorption. A further i8 men had haemoglobins of 89% (13 g./Ioo ml.) or less. None was thought to be low due to lead absorption. The absence of symptoms, signs, and low haemoglobins in association with relatively high blood leads is unlikely to be due to errors in blood lead or haemoglobin estimation. Alternativ...

Lead aVR--the neglected lead.

The aVR is often neglected lead. It is an unipolar lead facing the right superior surface. As all the depolarisations are going away from lead aVR, all waves are negative in aVR (P, QRS, T) in normal sinus rhythm. In dextrocardia, (True and technical) the p is upright in aVR. The lead aVR is a very important lead in localisation of Coronary Artery Disease. In the presence of anterior ST elevati...
