Insecticide Application: the Dose Transfer Process
In the broadest sense, the application of pesticides involves the transfer of a toxicant from the manufacturer to the target organism. This is the dose transfer process, which can be broken down into several major events. However, difficulties at any step can result in a loss of biological activity, excessive environmental contamination or both. The dose transfer process is a roadmap for the ev...
متن کاملCardiac-Specific Conversion Factors to Estimate Radiation Effective Dose From Dose-Length Product in Computed Tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine updated conversion factors (k-factors) that would enable accurate estimation of radiation effective dose (ED) for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and calcium scoring performed on 12 contemporary scanner models and current clinical cardiac protocols and to compare these methods to the standard chest k-factor of 0.014 mSv·mGy-1cm-1. BACKG...
متن کاملLow dose radiation induced senescence of human mesenchymal stromal cells and impaired the autophagy process
Low doses of radiation may have profound effects on cellular function. Individuals may be exposed to low doses of radiation either intentionally for medical purposes or accidentally, such as those exposed to radiological terrorism or those who live near illegal radioactive waste dumpsites.We studied the effects of low dose radiation on human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), which co...
متن کاملRadiation dose for pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis: a continuous adjustment process and remaining concern.
journal.publications.chestnet.org analyzed by a sleep medicine physician. 5 We have acknowledged the limitations of portable monitoring and the steps we took to minimize their potential impact on the study fi ndings, which we do not believe is signifi cant. We agree that well-designed, longitudinal studies are required to further evaluate the relationship between kidney function and the develop...
متن کاملA Markov decision process approach to temporal modulation of dose fractions in radiation therapy planning.
The current state of the art in cancer treatment by radiation optimizes beam intensity spatially such that tumors receive high dose radiation whereas damage to nearby healthy tissues is minimized. It is common practice to deliver the radiation over several weeks, where the daily dose is a small constant fraction of the total planned. Such a 'fractionation schedule' is based on traditional model...
