Life Threatening

Prior to the introduction of successful intravascular countertraction techniques, options for lead extraction were limited and dedicated tools were non-existent. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with these early extraction techniques limited their application to life-threatening situations such as infection and sepsis. The past 30 years have witnessed significant advances in lead extraction technology, resulting in safer and more efficacious techniques and tools. This evolution occurred out of necessity, similar to the pressure of natural selection weeding out the ineffective and highly morbid techniques while fostering the development of safe, successful and more simple methods. Future developments in lead extraction are likely to focus on new tools that will allow us to provide comprehensive device management and the design of new leads conceived to facilitate future extraction. With the development of these new methods and novel tools, the technique of lead extraction will continue to require operators that are well versed in several methods of extraction. Garnering new skills while remembering the lessons of the past will enable extraction technologies to advance without repeating previous mistakes.

Abstract Many accounting applications use spreadsheets as repositories of accounting records, and a common requirement is the need to extract specific information from them. This paper describes a number of techniques that accountants can use to perform such tasks directly using common spreadsheet tools. These techniques include (1) simple and advanced filtering techniques, (2) database functions, (3) methods for both simple and stratified sampling, and, (4) tools for finding duplicate or unmatched records.

Heavy Metals Pollution

Heavy metals pollution potential in National Iron Ore Mining Company, Itakpe was investigated. Two mining sites located at the east mining pits such as M3O, which is 370 m above sea level and M2O, which is 350 m above sea level were studied.  Sequential extraction techniques was utilised to examine the distribution effect of the heavy metals pollution potential on the environment. Twelve representative (six-soil, two-sediment, two-plant and two-water) samples were collected, pre-treated and prepared for this study. The atomic absorption spectrometer was used to analyse the concentration of the metals after the sequential and single-stage extractions were determined. Results showed that Chromium, Arsenic, Cadmium and Copper are more bioavailable in the study area than Lead and Iron. This findings indicate that human, animals and plants are exposed to toxic elements (metals and metalloids).

Algal Assay

A biological monitoring program (1992-93) was undertaken with the aim of testing the toxic effect of the Lambro, one of the most polluted rivers in Northern Italy. The filtered river samples were tested with S. capricornutum in a 96h exposure growth inhibition assay and with a photobacterial inhibition assay with the LUMISTox System. The unfiltered samples were also tested with LUMISTox, in order to evaluate the role played by the suspended and colloidal material in the water toxicity. The river samples were passed through a series of columns filled with Carbopack B, XAD-2 and C-18 respectively to concentrate organic compound for chemical analysis and enriched with EDTA to complex metals. The Carbopack B procedure proved to be the most efficient among the tested extraction techniques. The de-toxificant effect of the sample treatments was evaluated in terms of percentage increase of the cell density by the algal assay, while the toxicity of the extracted organic compounds was evaluated by LUMISTox System. The comparison of algal assay with chemical analysis results pointed out that the toxicity of the Lambro waters was mainly related to pesticide contamination.
