In fact, radiation can be given three different ways which are: • External radiation • Internal radiation • Systemic radiation However, these types of radiation are given by the type, size, and location of cancer within the body. What is more, radiation can also destroy normal cells by making small breaks in the DNA which can cause telomere…

It all depends on the doses given, “At high doses, radiation kills cancer cells or…

off of a small group of Caucasian, middle class children (Dalton, 2005; Guddemi et al, 20142; Gesell, 1925) resulting in high criticism. The Gesell Institute made an effort to make the findings of the GDO-R more generalizable. The following information concerning sampling, reliability and validity are based primarily on the findings by the Gesell Institute, published in the 2012 Technical Report. The sample used for standardization was chosen based on convenience, from schools that were already…
