Uranium

Uranium. A radioactive element of the actinide series of metals. It has an atomic symbol U, atomic number 92, and atomic weight 238.03. U-235 is used as the fissionable fuel in nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear power reactors.

1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 02/01/2004 - "After intramuscular deposit, the efficacy of the dressing was not reduced if the contact time decreased from 1 h to 15 min. Therefore, this wound dressing could be a practical option to treat uranium-contaminated wounds, but its efficacy depends on the localization of the uranium deposit." 05/01/2015 - "Kidney injuries were evident when uranium concentrations in kidney were 0.88 and 1.25 µg/g dry weight. " 08/01/2007 - "Active-duty and Reserve/Guard females differentially reported witnessing death or trauma and exposure to chemical or biological warfare, depleted uranium, or pesticides. " 05/01/2007 - "Each type of wound, with its corresponding biokinetics of a uranium species, is a particular case." 05/01/2007 - "These results confirm that the biokinetics of a given physicochemical form of uranium incorporated after wound contamination depend largely on the physiological evolution of the considered wound. "
2.	Proteinuria 03/01/1985 - "Transient proteinuria and aminoaciduria in rodents following uranium intoxication." 11/01/1958 - "Nature of proteinuria induced by uranium in rats." 04/01/1985 - "Although the levels of tubular proteinuria were mild, a dose-effect relation existed between the clearance of beta-2-microglobulin, relative to that of creatinine, and the length of time that the uranium workers had spent in the yellowcake drying and packaging area, the work area with the highest exposures to soluble uranium. "
3.	Fetal Weight 04/30/1993 - "However, treatment at 1500 mg/kg per day showed isolated protective effects against uranium fetotoxicity, such as that evidenced by the lack of differences in fetal body weight between this group and the uranium-untreated group, as well as by a decrease in the number of skeletal defects. "
4.	Bites and Stings (Sting) 06/01/2015 - "The present work aims at studying the decontamination efficacy of a calixarene-loaded nanoemulsion on two ex vivo wounded skin models mimicking superficial stings or cuts contaminated with uranium, and on a third model using excoriation. "
5.	Lung Neoplasms (Lung Cancer) 11/01/2014 - "We illustrate these methods using data from 2 studies of radiation and lung cancer: the Colorado Plateau cohort study (1950-2005) of underground uranium miners (in which smoking was measured) and a French cohort study (1950-2004) of nuclear industry workers (in which smoking was unmeasured). " 11/01/2014 - "Workers in the Colorado Plateau Uranium Miners cohort (n = 4,134) entered the study between 1950 and 1964 and were followed for lung cancer mortality through 2005. " 10/01/2014 - "This study estimates the health costs of excess lung cancer mortality among uranium miners in the largest uranium-producing district in the USA, centered in Grants, New Mexico. " 02/01/2013 - "The reanalysis revealed that while about 4 % of all study subjects had worked earlier in uranium mines, 10.3 % of later lung cancer cases did so. " 09/01/2012 - "The present study is based on 9978 Czech uranium miners with 1141 lung cancer deaths observed in an updated follow-up 1952-2010 and corresponding to 31 years of mean follow-up. "
