(1) A brief, limited barium swallow examination can confirm if the pouch is small or enlarged.

(2) Gastric ulcers without any malignant characteristics seen on barium swallow have a specificity of more than 95 percent in ruling out gastric cancer.

(3) Patients waiting for non-urgent radiology examinations, such as CT scans, barium meals and enemas are now being assessed up to ten times quicker than two years ago.

(4) Some researchers suggest that diagnosis should be based on patient history and confirmed by barium swallow, and that an upper endoscopy is not indicated.

(5) Suspected oesophageal strictures at endoscopy were confirmed by barium swallow examination.

(6) There is also insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening with digital rectal examination, barium enema, or colonoscopy.

(7) A white liquid called barium is then passed through the rectum in the same way as the washout while the specialist views the bowel on an x-ray screen.

(8) Based on the patient history and physical examination, barium esophagram and/or gastroesophageal endoscopy can confirm the diagnosis.

(9) We quickly learned that those cases were from their new non-toxic primers, which contained no lead or other heavy metals such as barium and antimony.

(10) If the carbon and oxygen signatures do not match a unique location, Thorrold examines trace metals like magnesium, manganese, strontium and barium to fine-tune the fish's whereabouts.

(11) The lanthanides make up the elements between barium and hafnium in Row 6 of the periodic table.

(12) But barium has an atomic number of 56, barely more than half that of uranium.

(13) Behind them was a screen showing mostly medical videos of operations, barium meals, gastroscopies, angiograms, arthroscopy, etc.

(14) He suggested the name barium for the element based on the scientific name for the Bologna stone, barite.

(15) New processing methods are outlined from which potassium, sodium, barium , strontium and cadmium were discovered.

(16) A barium meal

(17) They attempted to gauge sediment deposits over that period by measuring core-layer fluctuations in the ratio of barium to calcium.

(18) Many of these cavities contain good crystals of potassium, strontium, barium , rare earths, titanium, and niobium minerals.

(19) Pull up a seat at this giant table - yes, it's actually a wooden periodic table - and learn more than you ever dreamed you could about calcium, helium, barium and their more exotic cousins.

(20) Thorium and uranium, for instance, are forged in the heat of a supernova, and barium and bismuth via the capture of neutrons within red giant stars.
