Acute Mercuric Iodide Poisoning

Platelet growth of mercuric iodide

The Faile growth method, when used with purified mercuric iodide (HgI2), along with low molecular weight polyethylene, has yielded tetragonal prismatic HgI2 crystals. Thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (TD-GC/MS) studies reveal the existence of alkanes and ketones in the growth ampoules along with low molecular weight polyethylene, presumably decomposition byproducts from, ...

Discrete Scintillator Coupled Mercuric Iodide Photodetector Arrays for Breast Imaging

Multi-element (4x4) imaging arrays with high resolution collimators, size matched to discrete CsI(T1) scintillator arrays and mercuric iodide photodetector arrays (HgI, PDA) are under development as prototypes for larger 16x16 element arrays. The compact nature of the arrays allows detector positioning in proximity to the breast to eliminate activity not in the lineof-sight 0; the collimator, t...

Methyl iodide poisoning presenting as a mimic of acute stroke: a case report

INTRODUCTION Stroke mimics are usually non-vascular disease processes. These raise the possibility of a stroke and are common in clinical practice. It is necessary to distinguish these mimics in order to provide early and appropriate management, as well as reduce possible harm on our patient. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian man who developed symptoms suggestive...
