Ra, Ra and Ba distributions as well as Ra/Ra and Ra/Ba ratios were measured in seawater, suspended and sinking particles at the DYFAMED station in the Western Mediterranean Sea at different seasons of year 2003 in order to track the build-up and fate of barite through time. The study of the Raex/ Raex ratios (Raex = Ra activities corrected for the lithogenic Ra) of suspended particles suggests ...

In a paper from this laboratory, describing the dependence of the solubility of the plasma proteins in concentrated salt solutions on the salt and plasma concentrations (l), we pointed out the advantage of using potassium phosphate as a precipitating salt inasmuch as the salt concentration and pH of such solutions could be varied independently as described by Cohn (2). For the specific purpose ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the routine use of barium swallow study in patients with chronic cough. METHODS Between October of 2011 and March of 2012, 95 consecutive patients submitted to chest X-ray due to chronic cough (duration > 8 weeks) were included in the study. For study purposes, additional images were obtained immediately after the oral administration of 5 mL of a 5% barium sulfate suspensi...
