  2. Strontium ranelate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_ranelate

    For example, in clinical trials, the drug strontium ranelate was found to aid bone growth, increase bone density, and lessen vertebral, peripheral, and hip fractures in women. Strontium ranelate is an antiosteoporotic agent which both increases bone formation and reduces bone resorption, resulting in a rebalance of bone turnover in favor of ...

  3. Isotopes of strontium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_strontium

    The longest-lived of these isotopes, and the most relevantly studied, are 90 Sr with a half-life of 28.9 years, 85 Sr with a half-life of 64.853 days, and 89 Sr (89 Sr) with a half-life of 50.57 days. All other strontium isotopes have half-lives shorter than 50 days, most under 100 minutes.

  4. Bone seeker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_seeker

    A bone seeker is an element, often a radioisotope, that tends to accumulate in the bones of humans and other animals when introduced into the body. For example, strontium and radium are chemically similar to calcium and can replace the calcium in bones.

    He was the first to report a possible therapeutic role for the beta emitting radionuclide strontium-89 in the palliation of bone pain associated with metastatic bone disease. His autoradiographies of animals or organs after administration of strontium-89 or phosphorus-32 started the development of bone scintigraphy.

  6. Radionuclide therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide_therapy

    Radium-223 chloride, strontium-89 chloride and samarium-153 EDTMP are used to treat secondary cancer in the bones. [9] [10] Radium and strontium mimic calcium in the body. [11] Samarium is bound to tetraphosphate EDTMP, phosphates are taken up by osteoblastic (bone forming) repairs that occur adjacent to some metastatic lesions. [12]

  7. Strontium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium

    The former has a half-life of 50.6 days and is used to treat bone cancer due to strontium's chemical similarity and hence ability to replace calcium. [23] [24] While 90 Sr (half-life 28.90 years) has been used similarly, it is also an isotope of concern in fallout from nuclear weapons and nuclear accidents due to its production as a fission ...
