From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorotrast :

Thorotrast is a suspension containing particles of the radioactive
compound thorium dioxide, ThO2, that was used as a radiocontrast agent in
medical radiography in the 1930s and 1940s. Use in some countries, such
as the U.S., continued into the 1950s.

Thorium compounds produce excellent images because of thorium's high
opacity to X-rays (it has a high cross section for absorption). However,
thorium is retained in the body, and it is radioactive, emitting harmful
alpha radiation as it decays. Because the suspension offered high image
quality and had virtually no immediate side-effects compared to the
alternatives available at the time, Thorotrast became widely used after
its introduction in 1931. António Egas Moniz contributed to its
development.[1] About 2 to 10 million patients worldwide have been
treated with Thorotrast. However, today it has shown an increase risk
in certain cancers such as cholangiocarcinomas and angiosarcomas of the
liver.

Safety

Even at the time of introduction, there was concern about the safety of
Thorotrast. Following injection, the drug is distributed to the liver,
spleen, lymph nodes, and bone, where it is absorbed. After this initial
absorption, redistribution takes place at a very slow pace. Specifically,
the biological half-life is estimated to be 22 years.[2] This means that
the organs of patients who have been given Thorotrast will be exposed to
internal alpha radiation for the rest of their lives. The significance of
this long-term exposure was not fully understood at the time of
Thorotrast's introduction in 1931.

Due to the release of alpha particles, Thorotrast was found to be
extremely carcinogenic. There is a high over-incidence of various cancers
in patients who have been treated with Thorotrast. The cancers occur some
years (usually 20-30) after injection of Thorotrast. The risk of
developing liver cancer (or bile duct cancer) in former Thorotrast
patients has been measured to be well above 100 times the risk of the
rest of the population. The risk of leukemia appears to be 20 times
higher in Thorotrast patients.[3] Thorotrast exposure has also been
associated with the development of angiosarcoma. German patients exposed
to Thorotrast had their median life-expectancy shortened by 14 years in
comparison to a similar non-exposed control group.[4]

Thorium is no longer used in X-ray contrast agents. Today, iodinated
hydrophilic (water-soluble) molecules are universally used as injected
contrast agents in X-ray procedures.

The Danish director Nils Malmros's movie, Facing the Truth (original
Danish title At Kende Sandheden) from 2002, portrays the dilemma that
faced Malmros's father, Richard Malmros, when treating his patients in
the 1940s. Richard Malmros was deeply concerned about the persistence of
Thorotrast in the body but was forced to use Thorotrast, because the only
available alternative (per-abrodil) had serious immediate side-effects,
suffered from image quality problems and was difficult to obtain during
the Second World War. The use of Thorotrast in Denmark ended in 1947 when
safer alternatives became available.

Current use

Thorotrast has also been used in research to stain neural tissue samples
for examination by historadiography.[5]

One of the saddest cases of radiation poisoning in the 1930s was Thorotrast.
It was an oral contrast medium that did a beautiful job of outlining and 
diagnosing the liver. Every single patient to whom it was given died; usually 
after about ten years of misery.

What irked me was the Wiki article saying that the lab workers all wore lead 
aprons when working with radium, while the production foremen instructed the 
girls to repoint their paintbrushes with their lips every multiple times per 
minutes while wearing no protective gear. If that was true, the people running 
that place belonged in prison.

It was watch faces.

In the 1920s or thereabouts, there was even a radium drink, which some
people used extensively. One fellow had his jaw melt away into nothing
and had a rather painful death.

[MBZ] OT: Boots update

2018-10-27 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
I can't remember who suggested neets foot oil with bees wax but as it was 
raining today I figured I'd take some time with my boots.
As always I brushed 'em clean first, then oiled with neets foot. I keep a 
bottle for lantern pump leathers although the boots took so much I'll need 
another soon.
Mixed up my regular beeswax cut about 50% with the oil. I was pleased how 
easily it works in, I used to warm the boots with a hairdryer, today just 
sitting near the wood stove was plenty. They absorbed a lot of the mix easily 
so I left 'em by the fire (not too close, just to stay warm) for a couple hours 
to soak, then buffed off the excess. The leather feels softer than before so at 
least something has happened. 

Maybe tomorrow I'll give them a shot, certainly Buster didn't like sitting 
inside all day today but it was blustery and miserable...

Re: [MBZ] Electrical weirdness

2018-10-27 Thread Max Dillon via Mercedes
Installed a fully charged battery, big spark when connecting the negative 
cable.  Big draw immediately starts pulling down the battery.  Unplugged the 
glow plug harness so no power can get from relay to plugs.  Big drain still 
there.

Left the glow plug harness off, rigged an amp meter, looks like roughly a five 
amp draw.

Now I've got the battery charger on this battery, while I pull fuses and check 
for the draw to go away.  I think the alarm system pulls a big load while it 
starts up, but that's probably normal.  I need to rig up that trouble-shooting 
light someone described to see if I can speed up the diagnosing step.

Re: [MBZ] Electrical weirdness

2018-10-27 Thread Max Dillon via Mercedes
Follow up.  Didn't have time to look at car until today, so it sat for about 
eight days.  Battery is so low it won't even run the air pump for central 
locking system, let alone start the car.  Remove battery, hook up charger, at 
the 2 amp setting the charger meter says the battery has almost 90% capacity.  
Increase the charging current to ten amps, then the meter rapidly falls to only 
25% capacity.

Does this indicate a bad battery?

I'm going to swap in a good fully charged battery, then go for a drive to see 
if the weirdness is gone.

W210 for a keyword is OK, but listing a dozen BMW chassis types is really 
obnoxious.

Are you getting the epubs from your local library?  I recently discovered our 
library offers free access to The Economist, using the libraries recommend app. 
 I'll put up with the bulky app for free access to The Economist (Floyd - 
recent issue has article about ideas for governments to reduce taxes through 
more efficient use of capital resources, funding repairs to infrastructure, 
very timely).

My sister had one, purchased new.  It completely died while she was driving in 
rush hour traffic, on a beltway at highway speeds.  Very dangerous situation, 
had to be towed to dealer for new nannies to replace the nannies that quit.  
Once fixed, it was promptly sold.  Sister would not risk that happening again.

Ugh ... it certainly does not fit with this demographic ...

He has a list of keywords at the bottom, which is against craigslist

My Beetle TDI has the DEF filler cap next to the fuel cap behind the fuel door, 
very convenient.
