A Nontoxic Adjuvant for Mucosal Immunity

A nontoxic case of vitamin D toxicity.

Vitamin D toxicity also known as hypervitaminosis D was previously believed to be rare. But with an increase in vitamin D supplementation several cases have been reported in literature. Fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin D, due to their ability to accumulate in the body, have a higher potential for toxicity than water soluble vitamins. The main clinical consequence of vitamin D toxicity is hyper...

Nonsurgical treatment of multinodular nontoxic goitre.

Sporadic multinodular goitre is common in the UK, affecting up to 40,, of the population. Spontaneous reduction in goitre size is unlikely and steady growth at about 20",, per annum may be seen if untreated. Treatment is indicated for pressure symptoms on the trachea, assymmetrical increase in size suggesting underlying malignancy, a sudden increase in size due to colloid degeneration or haemor...

Nontoxic Medical Imaging Agents Form Toxic DBPs

Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM), used medically to highlight soft tissues, are considered generally safe, and patients excrete 95% of the dose within 24 hours, making them a valuable tool in medical imaging. But a new study shows that excreted ICM react with chloramine and chlorine at water treatment plants to form toxic iodinated disinfection by-products (iodo-DBPs). 1 " ICM are definitel...
