We predicted that adopting a performance-approach vs. performance-avoidance goal would lead to physiological responses characteristic of psychological states of challenge vs. threat appraisals, respectively. Furthermore, we predicted that these states would mediate the effects of goals on performance. Twenty-seven undergraduate females performed a task described as identifying either exceptiona...

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is a premier international organisation for the protection of workers, patients, and the public against ionising radiation. It was established in 1928 to advance, for the public benefit, the science of radiological protection, with its work in the early years focusing mainly on occupational exposure in medicine. The name 'Internatio...

by Robert Ouvrard and Fernando Lopez-Lizana l^evelopments commanding global attention over the past decade have elevated interest in issues of nuclear and radiation safety. In various ways, States today are placing greater emphasis on cooperative projects and services designed to establish or strengthen national capabilities for effective radiological protection. At the international level, the...

The introduction of TNFα blockers has revolutionized the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The objectives of this review are to summarize the most up-to-date data on long-term efficacy and safety of infliximab in AS, with special emphasis on axial and extra-articular disease, predictors of response, and radiological response. The general consensus of this literature search was that infl...

UNLABELLED In keeping with its responsibility for the radiation protection of patients undergoing radiological examinations and procedures, as well as of staff who are getting exposed, and with due regard to requirements under European Directives, the European Society of Radiology (ESR) issues this statement. It provides a holistic approach, termed as Globalisation (indicating all the steps and...

BACKGROUND Stemless shoulder arthroplasty is a fairly new concept. Clinical and radiological follow-up is essential to prove implant safety and concept. This prospective single-centre study was performed to evaluate the influence of radiological changes on clinical mid-term outcome following stemless humeral head replacement with hollow screw fixation. METHODS Short- and mid-term radiological...

UNLABELLED The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR) held the second joint Global Summit on Radiological Quality and Safety on October 10-11, 2015 in Barcelona. The programme addressed the issues of safety, professional performance, practice improvement and customer service. Participants came from national and international radiological societies; partn...

background: vegetation (food stuff) is grown in soil that contains many radioactive elements such as 238u (uranium), 232th (thorium) and 40k (potassium), which may get deposited either due to radioactive fallout or/and by absorption from the soil and can pose serious health hazards. materials and methods: natural radioactivity, radiological hazards and annual effective dose assessment was carri...

cesium content and some other more radiologically important mineral elements were measuredby nuclear and non-nuclear analytical methods in iranian daily diets.this study was extended to a few moresimilar functioning elements such as sr, rb, i, k, mg and ca as well. though the 137cs and otherradionuclieds were not measured in these diets under planned regular investigation in this work, but inco...
