Radiation poisoning

The world is full of a multitude of colors that are used for both practical and aesthetic purposes. The colors that are seen when looking at different objects are due to the ability of the compounds in those objects to absorb specific wavelengths of light. In other words, the colors that are seen are the ones that are not absorbed. The wavelengths of light that are absorbed are determined by the electrons in a compound.1 As electrons move around, they can absorb energy and become excited. The…

pinpoint and destroy any cancerous cells within the body by using a special equipment to send high doses of radiation ( MD Anderson Cancer Center). 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…

SEM is a kind of microscope to observe the topography of materials. SEM has some advantages: it has a large depth of field and we can observe the 3D image of the sample and analyzing its topography, its magnification range is widely and we could make sample easily because of the X-ray spectrometry, which can determine the elements of sample. When electron beam attack the sample, incident electron will be diffracted and change the direction or even loose some energy. During this process,…

The therapeutic properties of qigong have been found to improve the regulation of the respiratory system, improved the physical function of the body’s self-control, and boosted the massaging effect on the abdominal cavity organs, served to correct the abnormal organ reactions, and improved the activities of the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, cerebral cortex and regulated the metabolism process. Additionally, practices on qigong have shown a considerable amount of improvement in…

the ionic charge, it cannot exit from the cell unless it decays. So, the radiolabeling of tissues with high glucose uptake is enabled with the using of FDG-PET. Some other examples of glucose-using cells are brain and liver. Usually, the effective radiation dose is…

summer days. The advanced fabric would aloe IR radiation to escape through the fabric easily, and prevent the body from overheating. Furthermore, researchers have produced a nanoporous fabric that can release body heat, instead of…

radiographer should take the important responsible in radiation protection of the patient, member of the trauma team, and the radiographer himself or herself. Member of the trauma team cannot leave the patient in critical situation while imaging procedure are being performed. The unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoid and the trauma radiographer must unsure the team member are protected. In general radiography, common practices should minimal the radiation exposure include close…

Scientists use radiation in more forms than the average person realizes. With new technology these developments form new ways of living. Agriculture is not recognized as a big part in nuclear science. George de Hevesy was the first to practically use an isotope in 1911. We can thank him for the new advancements in fields of nuclear technology. The food you eat probably was altered using a form of neutron or gamma irradiation. Radioisotopes have changed the way we live, through all fertilizers,…

Tzvat is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 2,953 feet, Tzvat is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Due to its high elevation, Tzvat experiences warm summers and snowy winters.Tzvat is a famous vacation spot for its mild climate and scenic views. Tzvat’s current mayor is Ilan Shohat. In 2016, it had an estimated population of 33,636 residence. Tzvat is known as one of the four holy cities along with Jerusalem, Chevron, and Tiveria. It is mentioned…

Radioiodine production Radioiodine is defined as a radioactive isotope of the chemical element Iodine. Although there are at least 37 different Iodine radioisotopes, only four of them are used as tracers or therapeutic agents in medicine; these are 123-I, 124-I, 125-I, and 131-I, with the latter being the most common in clinical practice. Essentially all industrial production of radioiodine isotopes involves four aforementioned radionuclides. History of radioiodine production and usage The…
