Timed barium esophagogram (TBE) is a simple and objective method for assessing the esophageal emptying. The technique of TBE is similar to usual barium swallow with some modifications, which include taking multiple sequential films at pre-decided time interval after a single swallow of a fixed volume of a specific density barium solution. While many authors have used height and width of the bar...

Single-molecule fluorescence imaging (SMFI) of gas-phase ions has been proposed for “barium tagging,” a burgeoning area research in particle physics to detect individual barium daughter ions. Th...

In studies conducted in this laboratory dealing with the composition of the phosphatide isolated from the human tubercle bacillus, strain H-37, it was recognized early that an organic phosphoric acid of the formula C9H20014P2 could be separated in the form of the barium salt from the water-soluble cleavage products after the phosphatide had been saponified with alcoholic potassium hydroxide (I)...

Barium Oxide(BaO) nanoparticles were synthesized by simple co-precipitation method and were investigated by the catalytic activity of synthesized barium oxide nanopaticles was enumerated by epoxidation of styrene. The reaction was carried out and the product was obtained at higher efficiency. Particularly, the photocatalytic efficiency was estimated by degradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye using...

Chromium (VI), also known as hexavalent chromium, is the second most stable oxidation state of chromium. Rarely occurring naturally, most chromium (VI) compounds are manufactured (products or by-products). Chromium (VI) can be reduced to the more stable chromium (III) in the presence of reducing agents (e.g. iron) or oxidizable organic matter (OSHA, 2006). Selected chemical and physical propert...

In the course of studies on the acid-soluble phosphorus compounds of liver and kidney, it became evident that the fraction comprising the nucleotides represented a complex mixture (1). In an attempt to isolate the individual nucleotides, methods designed to minimize the breakdown of labile phosphorus compounds were employed. The isolation of adenylic acid and of a material representing a mixtur...

RATIONALE Even though barium sulphate aspiration during upper gastrointestinal examination is a well-known phenomenon, complication such as long-term lung injury and death may still occur. This may depend upon the concentration, amount, anatomy, or certain predisposing factors. PATIENT CONCERNS A 47-year-old woman who had a barium swallow to screen for foreign body in esophagus. DIAGNOSES C...

OBJECTIVE We compared the clinical efficacy of barium therapy and conservative therapy in preventing recurrence in patients with diverticular bleeding. BACKGROUND Previous case reports have indicated that barium impaction therapy provides initial hemostasis for diverticular bleeding and prevention against rebleeding. METHODS After spontaneous cessation of bleeding, patients were randomly as...
