To the Editor:鈥 In a recent paper I described a new treatment for thallium poisoning in humans ( J Amer Osteopath Assoc 63 :229-235 [Nov] 1963). The effectiveness of the agent, phosphate-buffered sodium diethylidithiocarbamate, in counteracting the lethal effects of thallium, has been ...

To further dissect the effects of Tl(I) on the cells, the protein synthesis was analyzed with SUnSET26, a nonradioactive method for monitoring such process. Puromycin, a tRNA analog, can enter the tRNA-binding site of ribosome and conjugate with the peptides under synthesis. The puromycin-la...
Examination of the human urinary Tl concentration is a quick approach to identify exposure of Tl pollution to humans. The experiences of Tl pollution in China can provide important lessons for many other regions in the world with similar geo-environmental contexts because of the high mobility and ...
Hair loss resulting from thallium intoxication is usually most marked in the head hair, with lesser effect on the slower growing pubic hair and eyebrows. Thallium salts became widely used in pediatric practice for the treatment of ringworm. The very high incidence of toxic side effects, including...
Heavy metals pose significant morbidity and mortality threats to humans in connection with both acute and chronic exposure. The often-delayed manifestations of some toxic effects and the wide-spectrum of symptoms caused by heavy metal poisoning may perplex the clinical diagnosis and, when involved in...
Between 1920 and 1972, thallium sulfate was widely used in rat poisons. The 1972 ban in the USA happened because thallium was killing unintended victims, including humans and bald eagles. One quarter of all sick or dead bald eagles in this era had suffered thallium poisoning. ...
Prussian blue's efficacy in the treatment of experimental thallium poisoning has been demonstrated in animal models, and its use in humans is supported by anecdotal data. Since thallium binds sulfhydryl groups, the use of N-acetylcysteine is also considered as a potential antidote. Study Objective:...
One of the main methods of removing thallium (both radioactive and stable) from humans is to use Prussian blue, a material which absorbs thallium.[72] Up to 20 grams per day of Prussian blue is fed by mouth to the patient, and it passes through their digestive system and comes out in...
