RADIOOPAQUE

RADIOLUSCENT

• RADIOLUSCENT- RADIOLUSCENT- The capability of a substance with a relatively small atomic number to let a large amount of x-rays pass through it, thus producing darkened images on x-ray films.

• RADIOOPACITY-RADIOOPACITY-The capability of a substance to hinder or completely stop the passage of x-rays, display as white/light areas on an exposed x-ray film.

Convallaria majalis is indicated when the right side of the heart is involved, as the result of obstruction to the pulmonary circulation.

Lycopus Virginicus has been of service in several cases of failing compensatory hypertrophy. One case especially was that of a man seventy years old who was addicted to the use of tobacco and had used a great deal of alcohol. There was an endocardial murmur, and rapid dilatation of the heart was taking place. A cough with haemoptysis was present, and the heart's action was quick, irregular and feeble.

Naja tripudians has rendered valuable service when there was present an annoying sympathetic cough with exaggerated heart action. The heart is increases in size and there are organic changes of the valves. There is dyspnoea and prostration with marked pain about the heart and general anasarca.

Swan appears to have taken his hint from Burnett's work and potentized the remedy, using a gall-stone for his preparations. Like many of the rest of the nosodes originally introduced by Swan, the work was necessarily empirical, yet he affirms after much experience that it is "almost a specific for gall-stone colic; relieves the distress at once".
