Strontium can be deposited in bone apatite either by the replacement of surface adsorbed calcium, or by substitution for intracrystalline calcium (1-3). It has also been reported that both of these processes favor the deposition of calcium to that of strontium (3). This report is concerned with the comparative incorporation of calcium and strontium in synthetic apatites. We shall present eviden...

Piezoelectric principles are widely used to harvest energy in the process of vibrating piezoelectric mass. Different design configurations were studied in the research papers listed. A novel dynamic method of Lead Zirconate Titanate Sensor (PZT) to obtain d33 suitable for the MEMS applications is designed, simulated and analysed results were compared with the fabricated sensor. The Lead Zircona...

A series of heteroleptic strontium complexes (1-9) using a combination of different aminoalkoxides and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate (tmhd) were prepared to examine the effect of the bulkiness and coordination ability of the aminoalkoxide ligand in these complexes as well as potential strontium precursors. All complexes were characterized by FT-IR, FT-NMR, elemental analyses, and therm...

Radioactive isotopes of strontium (59Sr and '*Sr) are generally regarded as the most dangerous of the products of nuclear fission. The passage of radiostrontium deposited on soil and vegetation into the human diet has therefore received considerable attention. Since strontium is similar to calcium in its metabolic behaviour it has become common practice to study the simultaneous behaviour ofthe...

In this demonstration, we show a qualitative analysis of sulfite ions in white wine with strontium ions. In base solution, a white precipitation occurs from strontium sulfite that disappears after a strong acid is added. This demonstration nicely illustrates chemical equilibrium in a school chemistry experiment.

We report a case of tumor regression of multiple bone metastases from breast carcinoma after administration of strontium-89 chloride. This case suggests that strontium-89 chloride can not only relieve bone metastases pain not responsive to analgesics, but may also have a tumoricidal effect on bone metastases.

this study was mainly designed to investigate and identify the amounts and types of heavy metals in the soils of national iranian oil refining & distribution company in shahrood region and tried to establish a logical relation between the presence of heavy metals and their damage on vegetation. in addition, considering the power of drained soil and due to the proximity of ground water in shahro...

Spontaneous reossification of the sellar floor after transsphenoidal surgery has been rarely reported. Strontium ranelate, a divalent strontium salt, has been shown to increase bone formation, increasing osteoblast activity. We describe an unusual case of a young patient with Cushing's disease who was treated with strontium ranelate for low bone mass who experienced spontaneous sellar reossific...

A procedure for the preparation of Strontium Hydroxyapatite is adapted to produce high purity and better homogeneity ceramic with good Crystallinity. The strontium substituted bone cement has potential for use in orthopedic surgeries. Ionic Strontium (Sr) in humans shares the same physiological pathway as calcium and can be deposited in the mineral structure of the bone. In the present study, a...
