1a. The title of the article is ‘Are Pet Owners Really at Greater Risk of Cancer?’ The source of the study is from the website ‘Psychology Today’ under ‘Animal Behavior’. The research included in the article is from the University of Arizona. 1b. The study by University of Arizona was conducted via existing medical data collected from a project called ‘Women’s Health Initiative (WHI)’. This data included medical data from over 120,000 women. The research team wanted to investigate the chances…

the heart’s shape, size, volume, and function. With cardiac MRI’s doctors can see if there is a valve disease, heart abnormalities, heart tumors, clots in the heart and anything to do with anatomy and function. A fourth detection method is Positron emission tomography (PET scan) combined with CTA, which is said to be the future of heart disease detection, but is also up for debate due to the risk…

The Technology of Radiology There is a lot of technology included in Radiology. Radiologists are medical doctors that diagnose and treat diseases “using medical imaging technologies.” They use many different tools and machines to diagnose and treat people. Some of the technology used in radiology are catheters, wires, small instruments and tools, scanners, and remote viewing systems. The three most common scans are CT, MRI, and PET. There are many different types of x-rays, the most well known…

medical radionuclide production highly used reactors, accelerators and cyclotrons. Among the 1500 nuclides that are available, reactor-produced radionuclides are usually electron rich. This property result for the nuclides to decay by β negative emission that was used for cancer therapy. Some reactor-produced radionuclides were used for nuclear medicine imaging. The other aspect of medical radionuclide production was…

Nuclear medicine is used by physicians all over the world, pre-dating Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Ultrasound technology. Tests are conducted using pharmaceuticals in conjunction with specific mechanical imaging, allowing optimal diagnosis for various conditions. Nuclear medicine allows doctors to see inside the body in ways that X-ray, CT, and MRI alone cannot, providing the most accurate way to study and diagnose specific abnormalities within the body’s…

find potential biomarkers that will allow to detect early stages of the disease, and so far Brain Imaging/Neuroimaging have been the top contender. There has been the development of tracers such as Florbetapir F-18 which during a PET(Positron Emission Tomography) brain scan reveals amyloid plaques in the brain of tested patients. Others that have been made are Flutemetamol F18 (approved in 2013) which binds and reveals the amyloid plaque. Florbetaben F18 (approved in 2014), also attaches and…

There were a wide range of related legislation which had been amended, repealed or replaced in order to be in conformity with the UCPD. It is witnessed some challenges to implemented the UCPD in the UK. Firstly, the maximum harmonisation requires the stringent implementation which restrains Member States from regulating their relevant rules outside the scope of UCPD. As UCPD only governs the commercial practices between traders and consumers as defined in Article 2, it is imperative to discern…

Asia is dominated by China and India with carbon emissions trading showing the potential to become the world’s leading derivatives product as companies in Asia and the US seek to lower their greenhouse gas…

beyond repair? Human influence does change the Earth’s surface but carbon trading is an effective way to reduce pollution which is buying and selling of permits to emit greenhouse gases caused by burning fossil fuels. “Some $60 billion in permits were traded worldwide in 2007, a number expected to grow much larger if the next U.S. administration follows through on pledges to reduce America’s carbon emissions.” (Carbon Trading) What better way to slow down greenhouse pollution than putting a…

FASB, emission allowances are intangible assets. This scope of this consideration is limited to areas under the U.S GAAP governance. This intangible asset model bars deferring of profit derived from the sale of emission allowances even if the sales result in short positions. The intangible asset method does not recognize third party buyers of emission allowances. The cash flow classifies the inflow and outflow as investment. The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards defines emission…
