Major Limitations in Using Element Concentrations in Hair as Biomarkers of Exposure to Toxic and Essential Trace Elements in Children
BACKGROUND Hair is a commonly used exposure biomarker for metals and other trace elements, but concern has been raised regarding its appropriateness for assessing the internal dose. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate children's hair as biomarker of internal dose for toxic (As, Mn, Cd, Pb) and essential elements (Mg, Ca, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo). METHODS In 207 children (...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of the Pediatric Oral Medications Screener (POMS).
OBJECTIVE Oral medications are commonly used to treat acute and chronic conditions, but formal evaluation of a child's pill-swallowing ability rarely occurs. In this pilot study, the Pediatric Oral Medication Screener (POMS) was used to physically assess a child's pill swallowing ability and identify children who would benefit from a targeted intervention. METHODS We identified children 3 to ...
متن کاملAnalysis of drug content and weight uniformity for half-tablets of 6 commonly split medications.
BACKGROUND Cost savings can be achieved with the practice of tablet splitting. Previous research has shown weight nonuniformity within tablet halves. However, limited research to date has found that the potential dose inaccuracy resulting from splitting tablets does not significantly affect clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine the drug content and weight in split half-tablets of 6 common...
متن کاملTrace Element Analyses (Zinc and Selenium) in Pediatric Malignant Lymphomas.
Ninetysix untreated patients with Malignant lymphoma's, 81 Hodgkin's disease and 15 Burkitt's lymphoma were studied for zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) status. Plasma and hair Zn, and Se levels were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Chronic Zn and Se deficiencies (low plasma and low hair Zn and Se levels together) were found to be associated with Malignant lymphoma's in Turkish child...
متن کاملEffect of washing procedures on trace-element content of hair.
A pooled sample of hair was divided and portions prepared for analysis by three washing procedures, to evaluate the effect of washing procedure on the subsequent trace-element (Zn, Cu, Mg) content. The methods selected were a detergent wash, a hexane-ethanol wash, and an acetone-ether-detergent wash. For all elements, there was a significant difference among the results after these wash procedu...
