Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Baritosis:

1.	stannic oxide (tin oxide)IBA 05/01/1966 - "[Baritosis and tin oxide lung]." 01/01/2006 - "Siderosis, stannosis, and baritosis are nonfibrotic forms of pneumoconiosis that result from inhalation of iron oxide, tin oxide, and barium sulfate particles, respectively. "
2.	Particulate MatterIBA 02/01/1976 - "Baritosis is one of the benign pneumoconioses in which inhaled particulate matter lies in the lungs for years without producing symptoms, abnormal physical signs, incapacity for work, interference with lung function, or liability to develop pulmonary or bronchial infections or other thoracic disease. "
3.	Heavy MetalsIBA 09/01/2017 - "Nowadays, ND finds many applications: (I) intratumor detection of heavy metals and endocrine metal disruptors; (II) identification of pathogenic nanoparticles in medical or veterinary drugs and devices, cosmetics, household products, and foodstuffs; (III) differential diagnosis of sarcoid-type granulomas (berylliosis, baritosis) and foreign body granulomas (prosthetic, iatrogenic); (IV) attestation of occupational disease correlating the datum with the occupational risk (anthracosis, asbestosis, bauxite fibrosis, byssinosis, chalicosis, siderosis, silicosis, stannosis, talcosis); and (V) forensic investigations to ascertain a causal link between disease and environmental, military, or work exposure. "
