Reversibility of skeletal fluorosis.
At two x ray examinations in 1957 and 1967, 17 cases of skeletal fluorosis were identified among long term cryolite workers in Copenhagen. In 1982 four of these patients were alive, eight to 15 years after exposure had ended. Radiographs were obtained, and the urinary fluoride excretion was measured. A similar picture emerged in all four cases: extensive fading of the sclerosis of trabecular bo...
متن کاملPaleopathology of skeletal fluorosis.
Skeletal fluorosis is one of a range of conditions causing excessive ossification and joint ankylosis in skeletons. It is rarely considered, however, in differential diagnoses of palaeopathological lesions. This paper considers the identification of skeletal fluorosis in a skeletal sample from the island of Bahrain, Arabian Gulf, dating to ca. 250 BC-AD 250. Approximately 4% of 255 adult skelet...
متن کاملEndemic skeletal fluorosis.
Teotia, M., Teotia, S. P. S., and Kunwar, K. B. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 686. Endemic skeletal fluorosis. Endemic skeletal fluorosis is described in 6 children aged 11 or over. Four cases were crippled with severe deformities in the spine, hips, and knees. All showed positive phosphorus, magnesium, and nitrogen balances and excessively positive calcium balances. The skeleta...
متن کاملNeurology of endemic skeletal fluorosis.
Endemic skeletal fluorosis is widely prevalent in India and is a major public health problem. The first ever report of endemic skeletal fluorosis and neurological manifestation was from Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh in the year 1937. Epidemiological and experimental studies in the endemic areas suggest the role of temperate climate, hard physical labor, nutritional status, presence of abn...
متن کاملSkeletal Changes in Endemic Fluorosis
Endemic fluorosis is a chronic fluorine intoxication found in certain parts of the world where there is excessive fluorine in the water and soil. It affects the teeth and skeleton, and secondarily the nervous system (Siddiqui 1955; Jolly, Singh and Singh 1961; Singh, Jolly and Bansal 1961 ; Singh and Jolly 1961). The skeletal changes in experimental and industrial fluorosis are well recognised ...
