چکیده
This little volume deals briefly and completely with the properties of radium both from a therapeutic and physical point of view. Briefly dealing with the observations on the various phenomena which lead to the discovery of radium itself, the author passes to the physical properties of the element, and goes into the differentiation between the alpha, beta and gamma rays. The relationship existing between radium and helium by means of the emanation is made clear and the behaviour of the emanation in losing its activity while the radium regains its activity is shewn

متن کاملNursing management of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer undergoing radium-223 dichloride treatment.
BACKGROUND Radium-223 dichloride, or radium-223, is a first-in-class alpha emitter that selectively targets bone metastases with high-energy, short-range alpha particles and is approved for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), symptomatic bone metastases, and no known visceral metastatic disease. Nurses are essential in educating patients about radium-223....
