چکیده
By Dawson F. D. Turner, M.D., F.R.C.P., Physician in Charge of Radium Department, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh A male, aged 65, was recommended to me by Professor Alexis Thomson for radium treatment in June 1911. He was suffering from a recurrent small-celled lymphosarcoma, which was inoperable. The first operation was performed on 21st August 1909. The tumour was then situated in the axilla, and both pectorals were divided to permit of its removal, along with a number of satellite glands. On microscopical examination the growth was found to consist of a small-celled lymphosarcoma. About a year and a half after the operation there was a recurrence ; this took the form of a swelling somewhat deeply placed below the left clavicle, and of enlarged glands in the neck, forming a mass of about the size of a small orange. There were no symptoms beyond some stiffness and tightness in moving the left arm. Radium treatment was begun on 13th June 1911. The tumour

Utility of F-18 FDG PET/CT for Detection of Bone Marrow Metastases in Prostate Cancer Patients Treated with Radium-223
A 76-year-old man with symptomatic bone metastases from castrationresistant prostate cancer underwent Radium-223-dichloride (Ra-223) therapy. Before Ra-223 therapy, he had normal peripheral blood cell counts. Ra-223 therapy relieved his shoulder and low back pain. The elevation of the serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), doubling every month during Ra-223 therapy, suggested a PSA flare or rel...
متن کاملPathological Changes Accompanying Injec- Tions
Very little is known concerning the changes that occur in living tissue following the injection of solutions of an “active deposit’’ of radium emanation. This investigation was undertaken to determine what changes occur in the principal organs of the animal body following such a treatment, and to afford data that might act as a guide in the treatment of certain types of cancer, in which the sol...
متن کاملNotes on some Distance-Based Invariants for 2-Dimensional Square and Comb Lattices
We present explicit formulae for the eccentric connectivity index and Wiener index of 2-dimensional square and comb lattices with open ends. The formulae for these indices of 2-dimensional square lattices with ends closed at themselves are also derived. The index for closed ends case divided by the same index for open ends case in the limit N →&infin defines a novel quantity we call compression...
متن کاملMeasurement of radium micro-precipitates using alpha spectrometry and total alpha counting methods
Background: This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226Ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. In the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 Ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. Ma...

In a collection of 11 cases, the benign lymphoepithelial lesion presented clinically in every case as a tumour of a salivary gland. In eight cases the parotid was affected, in two a palatal salivary gland, and in one the submandibular gland was affected. Microscopically the lesion consisted of a mixture of lymphoid and epithelial components and, although the appearances in several cases suggest...
