Other Calcium Disorders. In addition to hypocalcemia, tremors, osteoporosis, and muscle spasms (tetary), calcium deficiency can lead to rickets, osteomalacia, and possibly heart disease. These, as well as Paget s disease, can also result from faulty utilization of calcium. Calcium excess can lead to excess secretion of calcitonin, possible calcification of soft tissues, and kidney stones when combined with magnesium deficiency. [Pg.377]

Magnesium. In the adult human, 50—70% of the magnesium is in the bones associated with calcium and phosphoms. The rest is widely distributed in the soft tissues and body duids. Most of the nonbone Mg ", like K", is located in the intracellular duid where it is the most abundant divalent cation. Magnesium ion is efftcientiy retained by the kidney when the plasma concentration of Mg fads in this respect it resembles Na". The functions of Na", K", Mg ", and Ca " are interrelated so that a deficiencv of Mg " affects the metaboHsm of the other three ions (26). Foods rich in magnesium are listed in Table 9. [Pg.381]

Manganese. The adult human body contains ca 10—20 mg of manganese (124,125), widely distributed throughout the body. The largest Mg " concentration is in the mitochondria of the soft tissues, especially in the Hver, pancreas, and kidneys (124,126). Manganese concentration in bone varies widely with dietary intake (126) (see Table 10). [Pg.386]

Vascular access ports typically consist of a self-sealing siUcone septum within a rigid housing which is attached to a radiopaque catheter (see Radiopaques). The catheter must be fabricated from a low modulus elastomeric polymer capable of interfacing with both soft tissue and the cardiovascular environment. A low modulus polyurethane-based elastomer is preferred to ensure minimal trauma to the fragile vein. [Pg.184]

Soft Tissue Injuries. Some of the more common soft tissue injuries are sprains, strains, contusions, tendonitis, bursitis, and stress injuries, caused by damaged tendons, muscles, and ligaments. A sprain is a soft tissue injury to the ligaments. Certain sprains are often associated with small fractures. This type of injury is normally associated with a localized trauma event. The severity of the sprain depends on how much of the ligament is torn and to what extent the ligament is detached from the bone. The areas of the human body that are most vulnerable to sprains are ankles, knees, and wrists. [Pg.186]

A contusion is an injury to soft tissue in which the skin is not penetrated, but swelling of broken blood vessels causes a bmise. The bmise is caused by a blow of excessive force to muscle, tendon, or ligament tissue. A bmise, also known as a hematoma, is caused when blood coagulates around the injury causing swelling and discoloring skin. Most contusions are mild and respond well to rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured area. [Pg.186]

Studies show that the main sites of uranium deposition ate the renal cortex and the Hvet (8). Uranium is also stored in bones deposition in soft tissues is almost negligible. Utanium(VI) is deposited mostly in the kidneys and eliminated with the urine whereas, tetravalent uranium is preferentially deposited in the Hvet and eliminated in the feces. The elimination of uranium absorbed into the blood occurs via the kidneys in urine, and most, - 84%, of it is cleared within 4 to 24 hours (8). [Pg.336]

X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Soon after their discovery Roentgen used x-rays to image the bones in a human hand. The x-rays transmitted through the hand (phenomenon 1) were recorded on photographic film. The bones or other dense objects absorb x-rays more than do soft tissues or less dense materials (phenomenon 2). This method of imaging the internal stmcture of an object is known as x-ray radiography. [Pg.372]

Cefuroxime (35) is effective against community-acquired pneumonia in which ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influence is the probable etiologic agent. Cefoxitin (23) is used to treat mixed aerobic—anaerobic infections including pelvic infections, intra-abdorninal infections, and nosocomial aspiration pneumonia. Cefonicid (31), because of its long half-life has been used in a once-a-day regimen to treat a variety of mild to moderate infections including community-acquired pneumonias, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin and soft tissue (132,215). [Pg.39]

The average adult human body contains 22 mg Ba, of which 93% is present in bone (47). The remainder is widely distributed throughout the soft tissues of the body in very low concentrations. Accumulation of barium also takes place in the pigmented parts of the eyes. [Pg.483]

The calcium chelate cements are limited to the use of a cavity liner. They may be placed directly over an exposed tooth pulp to protect the pulp and stimulate the growth of secondary dentin, or used as a therapeutic insulating base under permanent restorations. The high alkalinity and high solubihty of these materials prohibits use in close proximity to soft tissues or in contact with oral fluids. [Pg.475]

Impression plasters are used to obtain an impression (or negative) of the hard and soft tissues of the mouth. The plaster slurry is placed in a tray, inserted into the mouth, pressed in place against the area in question, and held stiU until it hardens. [Pg.476]

Tissue Conditioners. Tissue conditioners are gels designed to alleviate the discomfort from soft-tissue injury, eg, extractions. Under a load, they exhibit viscous flow, forming a soft cushion between the hard denture and the oral tissues. The polymer in tissue conditioners is often the same as that used for resilient liners. The liquid is a plasticizer containing an alcohol of low volatility (219,220). [Pg.490]

The goal of our research was the comparison of the elemental content in cut part of nail and the part of nail, which contacts with the soft tissues of finger, the determination of elemental concentrations in 20 nails of individual, the determination of the elemental distribution as a dynamic mechanism. [Pg.430]

The concept of total body burden refers to the way a trace material accumulates in the human system. The components of the body that can store these materials are the blood, urine, soft tissue, hair, teeth, and bone. The blood and mine allow more rapid removal of trace materials than the soft tissue, hair, and bone (5). Accumulation results when trace materials are stored more rapidly than they can be eliminated. It can be reversed when the source of the material is reduced. The body may eliminate the trace material over a period of a few hours to days, or may take much longer— often years. [Pg.101]

The absorption, distribution, and accumulation of lead in the human body may be represented by a three-part model (6). The first part consists of red blood cells, which move the lead to the other two parts, soft tissue and bone. The blood cells and soft tissue, represented by the liver and kidney, constitute the mobile part of the lead body burden, which can fluctuate depending on the length of exposure to the pollutant. Lead accumulation over a long period of time occurs in the bones, which store up to 95% of the total body burden. However, the lead in soft tissue represents a potentially greater toxicological hazard and is the more important component of the lead body burden. Lead measured in the urine has been found to be a good index of the amount of mobile lead in the body. The majority of lead is eliminated from the body in the urine and feces, with smaller amounts removed by sweat, hair, and nails. [Pg.102]
