Use of theophylline in the investigation of pseudothrombocytopenia induced by edetic acid (EDTA-2K). [PDF]
In automated cell counting of edetic acid (EDTA-2K) anticoagulated blood, thrombocytopenia is occasionally seen which bears no relation to any underlying disease. In this study a heparin and soluble theophylline mixture was used to measure accurately platelet numbers in patients with such pseudothrombocytopenia.

Removal of Toxic Metabolites—Chelation: Manganese Disorders
ABSTRACT Manganese (Mn) overload is a characteristic of multiple disease entities, from acquired manganism upon environmental or occupational overexposure, to end‐stage liver disease and certain genetic disorders. The latter include hypermanganesaemia with dystonia 1 and 2 caused by pathogenic variants in the genes encoding the Mn transporters SLC30A10

A comparative study of edetate calcium disodium and dimercaptosuccinic acid in the treatment of lead poisoning in adults [PDF]
We evaluated the efficacy of two antidotes, edetate calcium disodium (CaNa2EDTA) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), for the treatment of lead poisoning in adults.Thirty-seven patients with blood lead concentrations >40 μg/dL and positive CaNa2EDTA lead mobilization were randomized to receive 1050 mg/m2/day of oral DMSA (n = 21) or 500 mg/m2/day of ...

Phosphate in Physiological and Pathological Mineralization: Important yet Often Unheeded
Phosphate serves as a building block for physiological mineralization, and as a signaling molecule that regulates the activity of mineralizing cells. The disturbance in these processes could induce a series of pathological mineralization, with abnormal mineralization of hard tissues and ectopic mineralization of soft tissues being the most ...
