What Is Palliative Care? Palliative care (pronounced pal-lee-uh-tiv) is specialized medical care for people with serious illness. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists who work together with a patientâs doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
Antimony is a pure element. Some forms of it are metallic, while others are non-metallic. Antimony is used for a wide array of industrial applications, including many paints, batteries, and rubber.
The average cost of Antimony (Sb) is $0.33 per gram. Antimony is a brittle, fusible, crystalline solid that is easily powdered. Although chemically it is more metallic, physically it behaves like sulfur. As metalloid it has some metallic properties but that is not enough to classify antimony as a true metal.
