Results Confounded by a Disregard for Basic Dose–Response Radiobiology

Results confounded by a disregard for basic dose-response radiobiology.

REPLY: We would like to thank Drs. Lam and Smits for their concerns and comments regarding the methodology in our study (1). The aim of our study was to answer the frequently occurring clinical question of whether a patient with low or no 99mTcmacroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) uptake in metastatic lesions should undergo 90Y-radioembolization. The observation in our patient cohort with colorec...

Physical and Chemical Aspects of Basic Mechanisms in Radiobiology

This little book is the transcribed account of a Highland Park conference on this subject. It was attended by a representative group of persons interested in these basic mechanisms and the discussions were free and informative. The material has been quite well edited and yet has kept the tone of free discussion. This particular volume is somewhat physical and chemical in character and discusses...

The Disregard for Discards

Investigation of amino acids in fossils over the past thirty years has revealed that residual amino acids may exist in fossils from throughout the Phanerozoic portion of the geologic column, that the amino acid pattern in a given fossil changes with age due to differences in stability among the twenty amino acids of which proteins are constructed, and that the ratio of right-handed to left-hand...

Why designers responsible for websites of large organisations disregard basic web design principles

When a large organisation spends a notable proportion of its budget on creating a positive web presence, one would assume the web site to be well designed, usable and to provide a good user experience. This is not always true. In this case study we investigated a large telecommunications organisation based in Africa to determine the value it places on usability and user experience. We evaluated...
