Cancer after nuclear incidents.
Since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and the subsequent reports of raised cancer risks among survivors in the two cities, there has been interest and concern about risks arising from this and other nuclear incidents, such as the 1986 Chernobyl accident. This article reviews methodological aspects associated with the detection of cancer risks in groups exposed to ionising...
متن کاملCerebrovascular incidents after myocardial infarction.
Pathological studies show a high correlation between the degree of atheroma in coronary, cerebral, and carotid arteries. Necropsy evidence of myocardial infarction also shows a high prevalence of severe atheroma in the carotid arteries. A further pathological finding is that obstruction in cerebral and carotid circulations is commonly due to embolism from the heart. In contrast, long-term follo...
متن کاملNuclear Radiation and Thyroid Cancer; A Systematic Review
Background: The increasing prevalence of thyroid cancer among the survivors of atomic bomb attacks in Japan, nuclear fallout in the Marshall Islands, and Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident indicate a strong relationship between nuclear radiation and the occurrence of thyroid cancer. Materials and Methods: Systematic researches were conducted in the medical database of the American National ...
متن کاملDowntime after Critical Incidents in Emergency Medical Technicians/Paramedics
Effective workplace-based interventions after critical incidents (CIs) are needed for emergency medical technicians (EMT)/paramedics. The evidence for a period out of service post-CI (downtime) is sparse; however it may prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout symptoms. We examined the hypothesis that downtime post-CI is associated with fewer symptoms of four long-term emotional...
متن کاملSeparation of nuclear isomers for cancer therapeutic radionuclides based on nuclear decay after-effects
177Lu has sprung as a promising radionuclide for targeted therapy. The low soft tissue penetration of its β- emission results in very efficient energy deposition in small-size tumours. Because of this, 177Lu is used in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours and is also clinically approved for prostate cancer therapy. In this work, we report a separation method that achieves the challenging sep...
