Disease relevance of thioxolead

• Thiobacillus plumbophilus spec. nov., a novel galena and hydrogen oxidizer [1].
• Multivariate analyses revealed statistically significant associations of stroke, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, heart disease, skin cancer, and anemia with variables related to Galena exposure [2].
• Following a community gathering held in early September 1991, an outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred in Galena, Alaska. We conducted an epidemiologic investigation to determine the cause of the outbreak [3].
• Reduction of arsenic content in a complex galena concentrate by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans [4].

High impact information on thioxolead

• The impact of three organic acid producing fungi (Aspergillus niger, Serpula himantioides and Trametes versicolor) on apatite, galena and obsidian was examined in the absence and presence of a carbon and energy source (glucose) [5].
• Microflotation tests show that galena is depressed while sphalerite is floated using ECP in the entire pH range investigated [6].
• Consequently, the hazard of lead in soils appears to be site-specific and influenced by bioavailability; the bioavailability of galena tailings to humans is low [7].
• The Galena project: nursings' contribution [8].
• Our essential problem is to prepare a form of galena with acceptable taste, tolerated by the digestive tract and well absorbed; also, the carrier compound must not cause short- or long-term side effects [9].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of thioxolead

• Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (EC-STM) and electron microscopies have been used to follow the nucleation and growth of approximately 10-15 nm pyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3Cl,OH) particles on a galena (PbS) substrate under oxidative conditions [10].
