Turnover of sodium in the human hand was studied by neutron activation. One hand of each
subject was irradiated with a 1.5-rad dose of partially thermalized fast neutrons. The activity …

Turnover of sodium in the human hand was studied by neutron activation. Patients suffering
from various metabolic abnormalities affecting the skeleton, who were undergoing routine …

Sodium kinetics were studied in the hands of 14 subjects by local in vivo neutron activation
analysis. Hands were irradiated with 252 Cf sources giving absorbed doses of 8 cGy. The …

A method to measure nonexchangeable sodium in vivo by total body neutron activation
(TBNA) and whole-body counting is described. The subjects first receive a 90 second …

Conclusion A new method for the determination of specific activity of sodium in bone is
presented. The method consists of placing a solution of bone ash on a cation exchange …

A new method of detecting changes in the calcium content of a hand by neutron activation
analysis is described. A 25 Ci 241 Am-Be source, positioned within a perspex tube, was …

Sodium was determined by the use of instrumental neutron activation analysis in sections of
compact bone, red marrow and yellow marrow to check possible effects of shoft tissues in …

Neutron activation analysis techniques have been applied to the determination of bone
sodium. Because of the physical characteristics of sodium, it may be easily determined, even …

The OBJECTIVE of these studies was to determine the influence of factors which alter over-
all salt exchange on radio-sodium turnover and on the sodium metabolism of various …

IT has been known for some years that bone mineral undergoes constant turnover
throughout life (Shohl, 1939) and that bone is the only tissue in which the sodium …
