Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) consists of 11% of all imaging methods, but accounts for approximately 67% of radiation exposure due to diagnostic cases. More than one-third of all CT scans are done in the head and neck area. The thyroid gland is irradiated during CT head and neck. According to studies, this gland has the highest levels of radiation-induced cancer, and i...

 Objective: The major objective study is determine availability and utilization personal protective equipment (PPE) by Nigerian physiotherapists during COVID-19 pandemic.
 Methods: One hundred eighty-on...

A structural and petrological study of the Late Proterozoic rocks in the Wadi Kid area, Sinai, Egypt indicates the presence of an extensional metamorphic core complex in the northern Arabian–Nubian Shield. Gneissic domes throughout the Arabian–Nubian Shield resemble the core complex of the Wadi Kid area and as a result, they are interpreted as extensional metamorphic core complexes. The presenc...

The open-circuit sensitivity of condenser microphones, and in particular Laboratory Standard (LS) and Working Standard (WS) microphones, depend on the mechanical ground-shield configuration of the preamplifier. Therefore, the mechanical ground-shield configurations of preamplifiers for LS and WS microphones are defined in the IEC 61094 standard series. The sensitivity, dynamic range and acousti...

The PULSAR-II pulsed tokamak power plant design utilizes a blanket made of the vanadium alloy, V-5Cr-5Ti, and cooled with liquid lithium. The shield is made of a mixture of the low activation austenitic steel (Tenelon) and vanadium. The blanket is assumed to be replaced every 5.6 full power years (FPY) and the shield is assumed to stay in place for 30 FPY. The activity induced in the blanket at...

The UK government’s assertion that it placed a protective shield around care homes in the first wave of covid-19 pandemic is “complete nonsense,” prime minister’s former chief adviser has claimed. Speaking to MPs on 26 May front parliamentary health and science select committees’ inquiry into lessons learnt from pandemic, Dominic Cummings said he was shocked April 2020 find home residents who ...

Risk perceptions are important in HIV research and interventions; mixed results were found between HIV-related perceptions and behaviors. We interviewed 377 sexually active injecting drug users in China, finding mixed associations between HIV-related risk perception assessed by two general measures and two previous risk behaviors (syringe sharing: p<.05; unprotected sex: p>.05) - partially supp...

background  it is remain a main concern that pediatric chest radiographies contribute to the significant radiation exposure to the thyroid gland as a more susceptible organ to radiation induced cancer. the aim of this study was to evaluate the entrance surface dose (esd) of pediatric chest radiography compared to the diagnostic reference levels (drl) and evaluation the efficacy of the lead (pb)...

background: in most cancer cases, the treatment choice for a pregnant patient is radiotherapy. in these patients, the abdomen is usually not exposed therefore fetus exposure is due to peripheral dose (pd). the purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal dose (the maximum pd in each pregnancy stage) for modalities available and to fabricate and evaluate a generally applicable fetal shield. m...
