2018-4-4 Clinical description. Ingestion of certain forms of barium (e.g., barium carbonate or barium fluoride) in toxic amounts can lead to gastrointestinal signs and symptoms (e.g., vomiting, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea). Within 1–4 hours of ingestion, profound hypokalemia and generalized muscle weakness can develop which may progress to paralysis
2015-4-27 Symptoms of Barium Toxicity. As mentioned earlier, all soluble barium compounds are poisonous to humans. This is most likely because they interfere with the functioning of potassium ion channels in the body (4). Specific symptoms of barium toxicity include (1, 2, 3): Low blood potassium; Cardiac arrhythmias; Respiratory issues; Respiratory failure
2021-5-13 Symptoms associated with barium poisoning vary depending on the amount you are currently exposed to, here are some of the more common symptoms: Gastrointestinal disturbances (diarrhea, IBS) Muscle weakness
2021-2-21 symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal by hypo-arrhythmia, muscle weakness, respiratory paralysis, the possibility of barium poisoning should rate of barium poisoning is very high, if the cause can be treatment, fect. ences 1) intox-chlo-1; 41(3): 293-295. 1. 02424.x. 2) ZAcute barium intox-oxicol.
Although rare, accidental and suicidal modes of poisoning are sporadically reported in the literature.We describe 4 cases of poisoning due to barium chloride in China. In witnessed cases, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, hypokalemia leading to muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure were noted.
Gastrointestinal symptoms frequently occur early in the course of barium poisoning. Hypokalemia resulting from an intracellular shift of potassium and the direct effect of barium at the potassium channels explain the cardiac arrhythmias and muscle weakness which commonly occur in barium poisoning. Treatment of barium poisoning is mainly supportive. Orally administered sulfate salts to form insoluble
Symptoms of intoxication can include severe muscle weakness, respiratory arrest, coma, cardiac arrhythmia, or electrolyte imbalance (e.g., severe hypokalemia) (8--10). Clinicians should watch for signs of barium toxicity in persons receiving contrast solutions during radiologic studies and be prepared to monitor and stabilize cardiorespiratory
2005-6-20 Additional metals that may cause poisoning include antimony, aluminum, barium, bismuth, copper, gold, iron, lithium, platinum, silver, tin, and zinc. Common symptoms of poisoning from these metals may include gastrointestinal, renal, and neurological symptoms, such as headaches, irritability, psychosis, stupor, coma, and convulsions.

Symptoms of intoxication can include severe muscle weakness, respiratory arrest, coma, cardiac arrhythmia, or electrolyte imbalance (e.g., severe hypokalemia) (8--10). Clinicians should watch for signs of barium toxicity in persons receiving contrast solutions during radiologic studies and be prepared to monitor and stabilize cardiorespiratory
Conclusions: Barium poisoning can lead to a series of acute and severe symptoms in a short time, such as severe hypokalemia and respiratory failure and so on. The mortality of barium poisoning is very high, which needs to be alerted by clinicians.
Systemic barium poisoning is characterized by profound hypokalemia, leading to respiratory and cardiac arrest. Barium is a competitive blocker of potassium channels, interfering with the efflux of intracellular potassium out of the cell. Barium ions may also have a direct effect on either skeletal muscle or neuromuscular transmission.
2019-2-15 Barium is a soft, silvery-white metal that becomes a silvery to yellow colored metal when exposed to air.Barium only occurs in combination with other elements and it has two major forms, barium sulfate or barite and barium carbonate or witherite, which

Barium poisoning has been re-ported as a result of accidental contamination of foodstuffs with sol-uble barium.25 Onset of symptoms is rapid, with nausea, vomiting, diar-rhea, and malaise followed rapidly by weakness, which can include the Dr. O’Neil is an associate physician, and Dr. Sid-
A recent query in The Journal as to the toxicity of barium carbonate1 prompts the report of a case of poisoning by barium chloride in an amount well beyond the commonly fatal dose.A woman, aged 25, a stenographer in a chemical laboratory, asked one of the chemists for a teaspoonful of salt to...
There were two outbreaks amongst British soldiers in an area of the Persia-Iraq Command. The first, in the sergeants' mess, involved 13 men, the second, a few days later, affected 71 men in one unit. The vehicle in the first was marmalade tart and in the second treacle tart, and the outbreaks involved only those who had eaten tart. The onset in the first outbreak was about one hour, in the
2021-6-3 Acute poisoning. This happens if you get a high dose at one time, like in a chemical accident in a factory or after a child swallows a toy made with lead. Symptoms usually come on quickly, and you
2021-1-26 The accepted range of fluoride in water in 0.7 to 1.2 ppm. Drinking water with levels of fluoride exceeding 2ppm should not be consumed, especially by children. Levels moderately higher than this may cause mild signs and symptoms of poisoning but levels exceeding 10 ppm can cause serious symptoms and even result in death.
2011-1-10 Symptoms of Barium Poisoning to Look For. When barium accumulates in the body, it usually affects the functions of the nervous system. Barium poisoning displays symptoms that are similar to flu, which is why it is not strange to find the condition misdiagnosed as flu. Common symptoms of barium poisoning include: 1. Muscle weakness and tremors 2.

2020-6-30 Barium is a non-essential nutrient to terrestrial organisms and reported to be toxic at elevated concentrations. Barium is a heavy divalent alkaline earth metal. It is denoted by the symbol Ba and has an atomic number 56. Barium occurs in nature as baryte ore (Barium Sulphate, BaSO4 ) and witherite ore (Barium Carbonate, BaCO3). Barium is used in various industrial processes.

2021-4-19 The relatively widespread presence of environmental barium is raising a growing public awareness as it can lead to different health conditions. Its presence in humans may produce several effects, especially among those chronically exposed from low to moderate doses. Barium accumulation can mainly occur by exposure in the workplace or from drinking contaminated water.
