what is a calcareous test?

Its not a test per say, test is the name given to a tiny shell which orginally came from a marine organism called Foraminifera, these shells are known as tests, they help indicate past conditions because the tests are calcareous they contain different percentages of chemicals from the enviroment.

Real marble is mainly calcium carbonate. Marble is limestone or dolomite that has been metamorphosed with heat and pressure. Pure calcite marble is white, but impurities produce a wide variety of colouring and patterns. The marble can not withstand sudden changes in temperature (it's colder than the environment), humidity, presence sulphurous gas in the atmosphere. To test if it's a real marble do a test in a small, hidden area: apply one drop of weak acid with eyedropper. Acid will fizz on contact with real marble.\nCaCO2 + HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2\nThe test produces the characteristic fizz from the release of carbon dioxide only on calcium based stone, i.e., marble. The acid will not fizz on quartz or silicate-base (granite) stone, nor on synthetic material.\nCultured marble is a mixture of resin and ground marble. It is less expensive alternative to natural marble. \nFake marble or faux marble is a painting technique, it means the painting of painting surfaces so as to imitate the appearance of polished marble. It is typically used in buildings where the cost or weight of genuine marble would be prohibitive.\nScagliola is a technique for producing plasterwork columns, sculptures, and other architectural elements that resemble marble.\nArtificial marble contains a polymer / monomer, mica flakes, glass flakes, resin and other components, it is used for kitchen worktops because it is heat and scratch proof and chemically resistive. Marbelite is a synthetic, mouldable, artificial marble. Marbelite is made by heating potassium alum in water then added 10% heavy spar and marble dust. Synthetic materials may have lower initial costs but lose their gloss quickly and must be restored with waxes or finishes which give an artificial  look.\nIn the construction trade, the term "marble" is used for any massive, crystalline calcitic or non-calcitic rock useful as building stone.

It can indicate a few different things, but you need to talk with a doctor.  The answer depends on the context and you probably need other diagnostic tests performed and interpreted by a medical professional to really figure out what is going on.  One common finding is calcium deposits in mammograms, which can be markers for abnormal cell growth ranging from harmless benign tumors to cancerous growth that requires immediate treatment.  But don't guess or sit here on Answers worrying... go find out from the experts.

calcium deposits -go to yahoo health and read up.  some people have alternative therepy in whirlpool to break them up by electronic wave.that makes easier to pass.  heard it is way worse for guys like passing a prickly grape thru there.ouch ! thats pretty good that you ask to help her.  good guy:)--so i would say change in diet possibly could help

The test that I'm familiar with is thin layer chromatography.  This process uses the polarizability chararacteristics of each pigment in a plant sample.  In my experiment, spinach leaves are grounded and mixed with anhydrous sodium sulfate and sand.

there are tens of tests for one things, thyroid eg TSH, TRH, FT4, FT3, and many more, same for cholesterol, so say what you need specifically and someone could help you more, good luck

I had a total thyroidectomy and the parathyroids came out too (they were stuck to all the scar tissue on my thyroid from all my RAI treatments)  So..my body is totally dependent on calcium and vitamin D supplements.  I take 50 mcg Calcitriol (vit D) and 2000mg OsCal daily.  My levels are monitored every 3 mos but since having a baby, my body has changed quite a bit.  I've had 3 hypercalcemic crisis' since that time, all landing me in the ER and a nice 2 day hospital visit (10 days after birth of my daughter) with calcium levels of 16 each time (normal being 9) between having a baby, losing a lot of weight quickly (IBS) and being dehyrdated when ill I've had my share!  I'm seeing a really good endocrinologist who is supposedly the calcium expert and has run extensive testing on me.  If you live in the NY metro area, email me at mooseny35@yahoo.com and I will gladly provide you with his info.

When I was growing up we used DCPIP (Di-Chloro-Phenol-Indo-Phenol) to test for Vit C.\n\nWhere did you get the OJ from? Some have added vitamins...\nHow freshly prepared was the Iodine tincture?\nDid you do your own dilutions of titrant?\nCould the Iodine have reacted with a carbohydrate present in the OJ (like it does with starch)?

Liebermann-Burchard test\nA colourimetric test for unsaturated sterols, notably cholesterol; a blue-green colour develops when such substances are added to acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid in chloroform.\n\nFor the Liebermann-Burchard test for cholesterol, students put 10 drops of the above solutions of cholesterol, coconut oil, or lard in separate dry test tubes and add 3 drops of acetic anhydride and one drop of concentrated sulfuric acid. Formation of a green or green-blue color after a few minutes is positive. Ideally, the cholesterol solution gives a nice reaction, the coconut oil should show no significant color change, and the lard gives a weak reaction. The results for this test have been variable over the past few years. For example, coconut oil sometimes gives a green color, and unsaturated oils invariably do, whereas lard often gives a brown color.  I think the variabilities have been due to using old solutions; they should be made fresh with reasonably fresh samples, which is fairly inconvenient.

its a bone scan A seratec scan uses the same tracer, technetium, as a traditional technetium bone scan, but instead of attaching it to calcium-like material to follow bone activity, the tracer is attached to white blood cells, the cells that help you fight off infection.  When injected back into the body, the labeled white blood cells migrate towards any infection that may be present.  If they accumulate in some location, this test may help  determine where an infection may be present.   This test is an excellent imaging test to assess for osteomyelitis (bone infection).

Calcite is the name for the mineral consisting of a form of CaCO3. It is the main constituent of limestone, a common sedimentary rock formed from the shells of creatures in ancient seabeds.

It is a finding on xray, that is very dense, as dense as bone, but is not a bone.  It is evidence of an old infection that has been sequestered to a lymph node.  Fungal infections, tuberculosis, parasites and some environmental elements can be taken out to the lymph nodes, where the body has a particular reaction, called a granulomatous reaction, ie forms a granuloma, and takes care of the infection.  Frequently, the granuloma gets calcified before the body can clear up the debris, and it will be with you always.  I have had one in my left armpit for the last 40 years.  They always comment on it in mammograms, but it is stable and is just an incidental finding.  Almost never are calcified granulomas evidence of any current disease process.  Rest easy, all is okay.  If that is the worst finding in your health workup, go celebrate.

calcium is mainly used to strengthen your bones so when you get older theres a less chance that you get osteoporosis

The email that is going around is very misleading.  It is a test used primarily to track the effectiveness of treatment of a woman who has already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  It is not effective for determining early stages of cancer.  Read attached:\n\nhttp://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blca-125b.htm
