Aluminum has been implicated in the etiology of the progressive dialytic encephalopathy. Data are presented on samples taken from patients on maintenance hemodialysis, during treatment. Aluminum was determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy. Hemodialysis had no significant effect on serum aluminum concentrations, which ranged from 27 to 254 micrograms of Al per liter (1.00 to ...

This study evaluated different dosage forms of aluminum adjuvant in generating allergic rhinitis animal models. Forty female BALB/c mice were assigned to four groups, including three dosage forms of aluminum adjuvant [powder, gel, and hydrosolvent of aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3] mixed with ovalbumin to simulate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and one control group. Although the aluminum adjuv...

We examined a simple screening method for judging the complex formation between a drug and aluminum(III) on a spot plate. As few drug had color reaction by basing on the binary complex formation of drug-aluminum(III), the ternary complex formation of drug-aluminum(III)-dye was studied this time using 50 kinds of drugs. The dyes used were Chromazurol S and Erythrosin. As a result, in the drug th...

thus humans are constantly exposed to this element. Little has been known about it’s metabolism and toxicity until the mid twentieth century. Aluminum is present in all tissues and organs in the body and when there is excessive accumulation multiple organ systems are effected by this metal (1). The important diseases induced by aluminum toxicity include dementia, anemia, myopathy, bone and join...

In addition, each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: acetyltributyl citrate, ammoniomethacrylate copolymer-NF, D & C Red #28, D & C Yellow #10, D & C Yellow #10 Aluminum Lake, ethylcellulose, FD & C Blue #1 Aluminum Lake, FD & C Blue #2 Aluminum Lake, FD & C Red #40, FD & C Red #40 Aluminum Lake, gelatin-NF, magnesium stearate, methacrylic acid copolymer-NF, propylene glycol, ...

Multifocal osteonecrosis is a rare disease; chronic use of corticosteroids is considered the main risk factor. Patients with chronic renal failure can develop aluminum toxicity, which can lead to osteomalacia and encephalopathy. An association between osteonecrosis and aluminum toxicity has been reported among patients with dialytic renal insufficiency. Occupational exposure to aluminum rarely ...

Atmospheric inputs of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to noncalcareous higher-elevation watersheds in the White Mountain and Adirondack regions lead to comparatively high concentrations of dissolved aluminum in surface and ground waters. This phenomenon appears to result from modern increases in soil aluminum leaching. Transport of this aluminum to acidified lakes can lead to fish mortality. Comb...

The benefits of energy and operational cost savings from using copper rotors are well recognized. The main barrier to die casting copper rotors is short mold life. This paper introduces a new approach for manufacturing copperbar rotors. Either copper, aluminum, or their alloys can be used for the end rings. Both solid-core and laminated-core rotors were built. High quality joints of aluminum to...

Mice immunized with a subcutaneous protocol combining killed para­ sites and aluminum hydroxide gel exhibited significant resistance against subsequent challenge with Leishmania donovani promastigotes. Protec­ tion was greatest using 25 mg of aluminum hydroxide per injection. Resis­ tance elicited by this killed parasite and aluminum hydroxide protocol was as effective on day 14 as that provide...

The methods commonly used for precipitating aluminum by 8-hydroxyquinoline from an acetic-acid solution, buffered with ammonium acetate, do not sufficiently define the conditions requisite for complete precipitation. The present article describes a method in which aluminum is precipitated as the oxyquinolate from a solution which has been partially neutralized with ammonium hydroxide, using bro...
