What's the difference between plumbism and saturnism?
Plumbism
Definition:
(n.) A diseased condition, produced by the absorption of lead, common among workers in this metal or in its compounds, as among painters, typesetters, etc. It is characterized by various symptoms, as lead colic, lead line, and wrist drop. See under Colic, Lead, and Wrist.
Example Sentences:

(10) This concern arises, in part, because current screening data show that 5 to 10% of the children tested recently in the United States have a degree of increase in lead absorption sufficient to cause metabolic derangement in heme synthesis, but insufficient, with rare exception, to cause classical acute clinical symptoms of plumbism.
(11) These results, as well as others, raise questions concerning the validity of relying exclusively on Pb-B in the clinical management of groups such as young children in old houses and lead-exposed workmen who are at increased risk for plumbism; The results suggest that chelatable lead is most closely related to lead's inhibitory effect on heme synthesis and that, biologically, it may serve as the best "chemical biopsy" of soft tissue lead concentration; A simple AAS method for measureing chelatable lead in urine is described; A new wet digestion technique which is compatible with ASV is also described.

(15) The different clinical symptomatology, effects on hemoglobin synthesis, and response to chelation therapy are all in keeping with the view that organolead poisoning is a separate and distinct toxicologic entity from that of classical elemental lead poisoning or "plumbism".
(16) The criteria for injury remained climical plumbism.
(17) Our study also clearly demonstrated that 4 of 6 patients with renal failure who developed gout de novo had underlying plumbism.

Saturnism
Definition:
(n.) Plumbism.
Example Sentences:

(2) A linear accelerator (Saturne CGR 20) was utilized to deliver 15-20 Gy to the tumor volume.
(3) Six wore daily wear soft contact lenses, two wore extended-wear soft contact lenses, one wore a polymethylmethacrylate hard contact lens, one wore a gas-permeable hard contact lens, and one wore a Saturn lens (combined hard and soft lens).
(4) So while in Japan you can easily stumble across a remote-control tissue box or a battery-operated planetarium for your bathroom (by which I mean a waterproof Saturn-shaped orb that floats in the bath and projects the entire visible universe onto the ceiling), the sense of surrounding novelty has diminished.
(5) delta-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a heme precursor accumulated in acute intermittent porphyria and saturnism, undergoes autoxidation leading to ammonium ion and probably the corresponding alpha-ketoaldehyde.
(6) Some of the useful clinical radiation characteristics required for treatment planning using the 6,9,13,17, and 20 Me V scanning electron beams obtainable in a CGR Therac-20 Me V Saturne linear accelerator are outlined.

(8) They have sent back images of Saturn's rings, Jupiter's red spot and sulphur volcanoes on its moons Europa and Io, and of "winter" on Uranus.
(9) For example, the Saturn project in Germany uses sensor-based technologies for sorting and recovery of nonferrous metals.
(10) In this respect, Saturn's satellite Titan is exemplary.
(11) Similar modules, also launched using reusable boosters, would remain in Earth’s orbit to refuel the interplanetary craft to be able to use multiple trips, including to other parts of the solar system such as Enceladus, a moon of Saturn on which Nasa’s Cassini mission recently found evidence of a polar subsurface water ocean that could harbor life.
(12) The effect of pure preparation of ordram, fosalon, DDT, methoxychlorine, hydrel, dihydrel, 2,4-D, 2M-4C and of technical preparations of saturn, linuron, ronstar and keltan on the membrane functions (respiration and motility) of Azospirillum brasilense and Chromatium minutissimum cells and on malate and NADH oxidation by the isolated membranes of Micrococcus lysodeikticus was investigated.
