- The aim of the present study was to investigate the G-I uptake of mercury (Hg) after intake of a single dose of amalgam-Hg, followed by pharmacokinetic analysis of the data. Eleven volunteers without amalgam fillings ingested 1.00 g amalgam powder. Hg in plasma vs. time was analyzed with a two-compartment model by means of mixed-effects modeling. A fraction of the absorption rate of Hg to the central compartment was inversely proportional to the plasma ferritin levels. The population mean half-life of the terminal phase of Hg in plasma was 37 days, with a considerable standard deviation in the population. The absorbed fraction of the administered dose was estimated to be about 0.04%. It is concluded that the G-I uptake of Hg is of quantitative importance during dental treatment.

- Europe represents true diversity, with cultural, linguistic and geopolitical variation spanning a large geographical area. Politics for many of its 750 million inhabitants revolves around the European Union (EU) and its 27 member states. The overarching goal of the EU is to promote peace and the values of the union (inclusion, tolerance, justice, solidarity and non-discrimination).1,2 EFORT was created to connect orthopaedic associations across Europe, fostering relationships between member countries that celebrated diversity and facilitated the exchange of knowledge. Whilst the global landscape changes and politics attempts to interfere in how we live our lives, it is important to remember that a strong organization is a diverse one that evolves over time. Various initiatives exist across the global landscape to support diversity in terms of culture; gender; black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups; disability groups; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (or questioning) and others (LGBTQ+); and the ‘ageing’ surgeon. This article explores the creation of some of these initiatives and how they have been supported by different orthopaedic organizations. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2020;5:743-752.
