Radiation poisoning

Introduction Thermodynamics is an essential concept examined during the construction stage of houses, especially in the countries reaching extreme temperatures, such as Australia. By understanding the physics involved in thermodynamics throughout the construction stage of houses, such as heat transfer involving different colours and thicknesses, it is possible to re-examine the insulation of houses in hot countries. Such a report can lead to finding the most appropriate colour and thickness for…

Since ancient Greece, humanity has become fascinated with science. The development of new technologies that will further the existence of mankind, has been the goal for many great scientists. Through centuries of experimenting, the mid-evil era of alchemy, and many years after, Chemistry became a topic of much importance. During the 1800’s, science had become one of the most rapidly growing fields as explanations for how things work, or the technological progression allowing us to discover more.…

• Radiation therapy: (in stage II, III &IV) Radiation therapy destroys cancer cells. It is used when colon cancer has attached to an internal organ so the surgeon cannot be sure if all the cancer has been removed or not for that, radiation therapy will be used to kill the cancer cells that haven’t been removed. In addition, it will be used to treat colon cancer if it metastasized. Radiation therapy helps in preventing cancer recurrence. Also it’s used before the surgery to shrink the tumor. They…

1.0 INTRODUCTION It is known that radiation can be very harmful to a person’s health. According to Marshall and Keene (2006:1), with the recent expansion of diagnostic and interventional radiology, it has been noted that an alarming dose of radiation can be administered to a patient, in a single scan, without having to repeat a procedure. With the evolution of radiography, interventional radiology has become a norm in the diagnosis protocol and it is therefore important to understand the concept…

A mass is a lump that either your caregiver found during an examination or you found before seeing your caregiver. The colon is a major part of the large intestine. There are many possible reasons why a lump has appeared. Testing will help determine the cause and the steps to a solution. CAUSES Before complete testing is done, it may be difficult or impossible for your caregiver to know if the lump is truly in the colon or comes from one of the organs that are next to the colon. Problems in…

The symptoms of multiple myeloma consist of pain from a pinched nerve or a collapsed vertebrae, anemia and fatigue associated with anemia, hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) and blood clots. Multiple myeloma can cause the patient to have a weakened immune system depending on the stage of the cancer. This then causes additional complications related to a feeble immune system such as fever, weight loss, thirst, infections, bleeding gums, mental confusion and kidney failure. Usually the…

Everyone has experienced losing a lost one. The pain that comes with it is just devastating and coping may be hard. Cancer is hard to deal with because it is an aggressive sickness that slowly takes control of the body. Cancer in a child is a long battle that comes with many obstacles; chemotherapy has physical and emotional damage, family issues, and facing the return of what one thought was the end. Cancer in a child is not very common. If a child does have cancer most of the time is it acute…

relatives. Research for all diseases are constantly being updated but especially cancer, due to several possible treatments and diagnosis. Centuries ago and even just a few decades ago cancer was being misdiagnosed or unable to be diagnosed. Radiation and Chemo are two of the most commonly used and known treatments, there are huge differences between pediatric and adult cancers and the way they are treated, diagnosed and removed. Although many Americans’ lives have been affected by cancer,…

Treatments range from chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy or surgery. Chemotherapy is a treatment of chemical substances that contain one or more anticancer drugs. Hormone therapy is when antagonists, drugs such as Lupron, are used to too treat the cancer patient. Radiation therapy is when high energy waves, such as x-rays, are used to destroy cancer cells. Targeted therapy is when specific drugs are used to target specific genes or proteins to stop the cancer from…

Cancer is scary and worrying enough. A contagious one just might be too much. Scientists however claimed that the prospect of contagious cancer is not that implausible. According to NY Times, various papers suggesting the eventual emergence of contagious human cancer now exist. Instead of being set off by the spread of viruses, cancer cells might travel from one host to another. Instead of the cancer cells dying with their host, these cells might thrive in the new bodies. So far, this is…
