Dose

radiation treatment by systematically monitoring treatment variations and incorporating them to re-optimize the treatment plan early on during the course of treatment. In this process, field margin and treatment dose can be routinely customized to each individual patient to achieve a safe dose escalation. Introduction: Medical imaging systems are widely used in radiological diagnosis. Their main benefits are more accurate and faster exams, elimination of exploratory surgery, availability of…

This research proposal seeks to test the hypothesis that pesticide run-off from agriculture, even in small amounts, can have a devastating impact on the aquatic ecosystem, in particular that of Daphnia.  For years, pesticides have been known to have devastating impact on the ecosystems surrounding the agricultural centers they are used in. On a regular basis, run-off from farms that utilize both fertilizers and pesticides can seep into the watershed and slowly trickle into bodies of water…

Patient Y is a 58year old male that was referred to our department with a large (3x3cm) node of the R neck, level II, which he had had for 3 years. His fine needle aspiration (FNA) results showed potential small cell neuro-endocrine tumour, but had insufficient tissue for a confirmed diagnosis. His oncologist sent him for further staging tests, which included a MRI which only confirmed the nodal involvement and advised a core needle biopsy of the mass. This revealed a squamous cell carcinoma…

contain germ cells that could potentially pass on mutations to future generations (Dowd and Tilson 132). The sterilization of the testes is dependent on the dose administered, for example, “A dose of 10 rad (10 cGy) can lead to a reduction in the number of spermatozoa…Since there is a 3- to 5-week period for maturation of spermatozoa, a dose of 200 to 250 rad (2-2.5 Gy) results in temporary sterility that takes 2 months to become fully manifest.” (Dowd and Tilson 132). Chronic radiodermatitis…

Ethanol and caffeine are two of the most commonly consumed psychoactive compounds and mixtures of caffeinated energy drinks and alcohol have become popular among young people (Alford et al., 2010). The consumption of ethanol, even in low to moderate doses, can impair psychomotor as well as cognitive ability resulting in a significant decline in performance in terms of reaction time, attention span, and driving ability, among other (Roehrs et al, 1994) and it is currently well known that ethanol…

harm children’s health however some scholars believe that thimerosal used in vaccines are in very low doses that they are not extremely toxic to the child’s body. As states in Centers for Disease Control (CDC) thimerosal is a mercury (Hg)-based preservative that has been used for years in the United States for a multi-dose vaccine. Thimerosal is added to the vaccines that contained more than one dose to prevent the growth of germs like bacteria and fungi. Manufacturers use preservatives like…

associated with Alzheimer’s disease (Health Canada, 2015). The Generic Name, of this drug is entitled Donepezil Hydrochloride and the brand name is Aricept and Aricept RDT (Rexall, 2016). This tablet has three different colors, which is associated to its dose. The strength…

Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is one of the specific procedure of radiation therapy that deliver a very high dose (9-25 Gy) to the tumor bed during the surgical procedure. In IORT irradiation before surgery to shrink the tumor volume and exposure to tumor bed after surgery to ensure the destruction of microscopic tumor cells. The use of IORT has increased because single high doses of radiation therapy can be delivered to a tumor volume in appropriate clinical situations without…

However, she is now able to walk without using a cane. Her main difficulty is each dose of Sinemet does not last until her next dose. She takes Sinemet 25/100 one and one half tablets at 9 AM and 3 PM then one tablet at 9 PM and 3 AM. She states that her Parkinsonian symptoms, including her gait ability seemed to have improved after taking each dose of Sinemet, but then these symptoms worsen before the next dose of Sinemet. She states that she is having no difficulty with Sinemet. ROS:…
