[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Indeed but that won't happen if you floss regularly and brush your teeth but Sodium Fluoride is not needed to do so.. -----signature----- A thousand sheep are louder than one man.

	Coriolus posted: CONCLUSION: "sodium [¹8F]fluoride PET/CT might be useful in the evaluation of the atherosclerotic process in major arteries, including coronary arteries. An increased fluoride uptake in coronary arteries may be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21946616 Sodium Fluoride = bad You should probably try READING what you link to? Naw - you didn't bother to read it the first time around so a second time isn't going to do any good. Here, let me help you: METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the imaging data and cardiovascular history of 61 patients who received whole-body sodium [¹8F]fluoride PET/CT studies at our institution from 2009 to 2010. Fluoride uptake and calcification in major arteries, including coronary arteries, were analyzed by both visual assessment and standardized uptake value measurement. Since you're new to this whole "reading for comprehension" thingie I'll break it down further: It was a study of various means of doing PET/CT scans using different chemicals, rather than radioactive isotopes. Translated, that means they were performing PET and CT scans on people who had had their ENTIRE FRIGGEN BODY injected with various chemicals used as imaging enhancing agents - in this case, flouride.

	Crap he's right... What the study says is that they hadn't really tried Sodium Flouride as an imaging agent and when they did they found that it would show up better in patients that had cardiovascular disease, especially certain types, and didn't image well in people that had had no prior cardiovascular events. You know how much it pains me to have to say that dipshit is right... -----signature----- The time draws nearer to your fate

	It happens. In the future whenever you feel yourself being excited about some "evidence" you've found try to debunk it yourself before you post it. You're a passionate guy. There's nothing wrong with that, but you need to be realistic about the effect it has on your ability to think critically. -----signature----- (none)
