Demonstration of systemic lymphnodes by bone scintigraphy in amyloidosis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Lung clearance rates of inhaled (99m)Tc-DTPA aerosols constitute a sensitive index to evaluate the permeability changes characteristic of airway epithelial damage. It was thought that edema of the airway wall which is reported in asthma could be relieved with a diuretic like furosemide, helping to relieve the...
