osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. in addition to morbidity, osteoporotic fractures also increase mortality risk in affected patients. enough evidence is not available to indicate that, like western countries, osteoporosis is a public health problem in iran. therefore emrc planned to estimate the burden of osteoporotic fractures in year 2001 based on existing sources of dat...

A hypothetical model was introduced to estimate the body burden of chelatable lead from the mobilisation yield of lead by calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate (CaEDTA). It was estimated that, on average, 14 and 19% of the body burden was mobilised into the urine during the 24 hours after an injection of 53.4 mumol (20 mg) and 107 mumol (40 mg) CaEDTA per kg bodyweight, respectively. T...

239 PUQFUA i.san IBM-i’& FORTRAN program, written primarily for I% , which calculates from urinalyses the plutonium body burden in microcuries and the per cent of the maximum permissible body burden. It is based on a set of power function elimination equations developed by Wright H. Langham for the excretion of plutonium over a five year period. Results with PUQFUA compare favorably with those ...
