Amount of pollution radiation in foodstuffs and feedstuffs are very necessary to measure because it is a direct contact with human animal health. Therefore, the present investigation useful for health environmental data base. The study included measurement effective radium-226 content (CRa) some chosen samples vegetables fruits (local imported) Najaf governorate. CRa were measured using Solid S...

  ABSTRACTBackground : The presence of primordial radionuclide in human habitats has always been a source of prolonged exposure. Measurement of naturally occurring radionuclides in the environment can be used as baseline to evaluate the impact of non-nuclear activities and also routine releases from nuclear installations.   Materials and methods: A total of 56 samples from 18 different foodstuf...

St. Bartholmew's Hospital, and had the privilege of a visit to the Curie Fondation in Paris. I feel, therefore, that my views on the above subject may be of interest to the medical profession in India. The announcement of the discovery of radium was made at the Academie de Sciences in Paris on the 26th December, 1898?about 28 years ago?in a joint paper by M. and Mme. Curie. The first to discove...

In hig introduction the author states this book is essentially a statement of the principles and practice of the Radium Institute in Manchester (now part of the Christie Cancer Hospital and Holt Radium Institute) and there is no intention of implying that the methods and ideas presented are necessarily the best, the correct or the only methods. In keeping with this concept the first three chapt...

BACKGROUND The phase 3 ALSYMPCA trial enrolled metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with or without baseline opioid use. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of radium-223 dichloride (radium-223) versus placebo in ALSYMPCA patients by baseline opioid use. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Nine hundred and twenty one patients enrolled at 136 centers globally. INT...

OBJECTIVES Uranium processing workers are exposed to uranium and radium compounds from the ore dust and to γ-ray radiation, but less to radon decay products (RDP), typical of the uranium miners. We examined the risks of these exposures in a cohort of workers from Port Hope radium and uranium refinery and processing plant. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study with carefully documented exposures...

This article proposes to study the first 12 years of the Minas Gerais Radium Institute, founded in 1922. Its work in the fight against cancer in Brazil, albeit still little known, is coming to light as its institutional documents are studied. A database has been prepared using information from its patient register, based on which statistical analyses have been done to identify the types of canc...

This paper proposes an economical gait analysis system by using web camera, radium markers, general computer and MATLAB tool. The study (or measurement) of kinematics of joint is done by using image processing algorithm. For detecting kinematic angles the radium markers are placed on the joints of the person then, few second walking video of that person is captured. With the help of markers sti...
