Talc pleurodesis: Talc slurry versus thoracoscopic talc insufflation in a porcine model [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996 Pleurodesis using both talc slurry and thoracoscopic talc insufflation has been shown to be clinically effective. This study compares these two modalities of pleural talc instillation in an animal model.Eleven immature pigs underwent general endotracheal anesthesia. On one side, a slurry of 5 g sterile United States Pharmacopeia talc in 50 mL of saline

AbstractA 45 year old man presented with talc retinopathy that had been present for decades. The static nature of this condition indicates that, in the absence of ongoing intravenous drug use, ophthalmological follow up is not ...

Influence of Talc Dose on Extrapleural Talc Dissemination after Talc Pleurodesis
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003This study was designed to ascertain, in a rabbit model, extrapleural talc deposition and the related inflammatory response after talc slurry pleurodesis with two clinical doses, 200 and 50 mg/kg. Histopathologic evaluations revealed that whereas numerous rabbits receiving a high dose had talc in the ipsilateral (70%) and contralateral (55%) lung ...

We present five case reports of the clinical manifestations of talc retinopathy. Photographs illustrate the typical intravascular location of these crystalline deposits which are evident only after repeated injections of street drugs. Discussion includes differential diagnosis, systemic complications, and ophthalmic management of this condition.

Talc in the liver is highly suggestive of intravenous drug abuse. We report three patients in whom finding talc or talc granuloma on liver biopsy led to the diagnosis of unsuspected i.v. drug abuse. There follows a discussion of the pathogenesis, laboratory and clinical features, and liver pathology of talc liver.

Twenty-three patients had bilateral intraretinal talc microemboli, which were seen on ophthalmoscopic examination. Twelve of these patients had additional retinal vascular or choroidal abnormalities in the posterior pole that were confirmed by fluorescein angiography.

Dielectric properties and electric conductivity of talc and doped talc
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1999The dielectric properties of a MgO and Mg(NO3)2 doped and undoped talc are measured as a function of the frequency range 260 kHz-40 MHz. The ´, tan and ac values are given as a function of the firing temperature for a 5.0 MHz constant frequency. In this study the effects of an impurity and the firing temperature on the dielectric properties are also ...

Surface tension of talc and talc-chlorite mixtures [PDF]
Journal of Thermal Analysis, 1994 It is possible to estimate surface tension of high-energy solids combining the immersion microcalorimetry thermodynamics and Van Oss' model. In this study we have applied this method on talc and talc-chlorite samples in order to obtain thermodynamic values which permit to understand surface properties useful in the industrial applications of these ...

The behaviour of the San Andreas fault varies along its length — it slips in some places and creeps in others. The discovery of the ultrasoft mineral talc in rocks from deep inside the fault could help to explain why. High rates of creep along parts of the San Andreas fault have been attributed to low fault strength associated with serpentinized rocks.
