SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF EDETIC-ACID/ANTIBIOTIC COMBINATIONS ON PSEUDOMONAS ÆRUGINOSA
Abstract The disodium salt of ethylenediamine-tetra-acetic acid (E.D.T.A., edetic) enhances the effect of penicillin G, ampicillin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol on a resistant strain of Pseudomonas œruginosa. This effect is shown to be due to synergism of the E.D.T.A./antibiotic combinations.

MEASUREMENT OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION-RATE IN MAN USING A 51Cr/EDETIC-ACID COMPLEX
Abstract 51 Cr complexed with edetic acid ( 51 Cr-E.D.T.A.) can be prepared in a form which is stable when autoclaved and in vivo. It does not bind to protein or enter red blood-cells and excretion via the gut is insignificant. The renal clearance, as measured by the continuous-infusion technique, is the same as that of inulin.

Effects of estrogen on response to edetic acid infusion in postmenopausal osteoporotic women
We and others have hypothesized that estrogen helps preserve bone mass by affecting the PTH/vitamin D regulation of skeletal metabolism. To evaluate this theory, we tested the effect of estrogen administration on parathyroid sensitivity to hypocalcemic challenge.

Measurement of Glomerular Filtration Rate using a Single Injection of 51Cr‐Edetic Acid
SummaryA simple method of estimating the glomerular filtration rate using a single injection of 51 Cr‐EDTA is described. The technique, which avoids urine collections, has been found to correlate well with the 24 hour endogenous creatinine clearance over a wide range of renal function.

Abstract One hundred and forty-seven simultaneous inulin and 51 Cr-labelled edetic acid (E.D.T.A.) clearances have been performed in thirty-nine patients. Compared with inulin, 51 Cr-E.D.T.A. significantly underestimates the glomerular filtration-rate, and it cannot yet be considered a suitable alternative to inulin for precise measurement of ...

The results of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in 48 patients bearing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and 7 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin are described. Five- aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) was applied topically in two formulations. The first formulation contained 20% of 5-ALA in a base cream, and the second formulation (5-ALA composite ...

Apparent Failure of Edetic Acid Chelation Therapy for the Treatment of Coronary Atherosclerosis
Patients diagnosed with incurable or fatal diseases may seek alternatives to standard medical therapy and spend significant amounts of money for these therapies. One alternative medical therapy, chelation therapy with edetic acid (EDTA), has gained considerable popularity for the alleged treatment of atherosclerotic vascular disease; however, its ...

Spectrophotometric Titration of Edetic Acid in Ophthalmic Solutions
The procedure described here is applicable for determining edetic acid (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) at the 0.05–0.2% level in ophthalmic solutions. This method employs a spectrophotometric titration, using a magnesium-ion solution as titrant and arsenazo I as the indicator.
