International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

2.4K
International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview

2.8K
In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch is used as an atomizer and ionizer. Solid samples are dissolved and volatilized before being introduced into the high-temperature argon plasma, while solution samples are nebulized and passed through the high-temperature argon plasma. Plasma dissociates the analytes and ionizes their component atoms to form a mixture of positive ions and molecular species. The positive ions are then...

Five-Membered Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Overview01:13

Five-Membered Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Overview

6.1K
Heterocyclic aromatic compounds are cyclic compounds that are aromatic and have one or more heteroatoms—atoms other than carbon, in the ring. Depending upon the number of atoms present in the ring, they can be either five or six-membered. Examples of five-membered heterocyclic aromatic compounds include pyrrole, furan, thiophene, and imidazole. Pyrrole consists of one nitrogen atom having one lone pair of electrons. Furan and thiophene have one oxygen and one sulfur heteroatom,...

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Radiation Biology
  • Ecology

Background:

  • Established in 2005, ICRP Committee 5 addresses environmental radiation protection needs.
  • ICRP Publication 91 provided the ethical and philosophical basis for environmental protection.
  • The 2007 Recommendations (Publication 103) integrated environmental protection into the radiation protection system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evolve a comprehensive system for environmental radiation protection.
  • To establish a framework for assessing radiation impacts on terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
  • To provide guidance for deriving protection strategies based on scientific data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 12 Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) with comprehensive databases.
  • Utilizing transfer factors for estimating internal radionuclide concentrations.
  • Establishing derived consideration reference levels (environmental dose rate bands).

Main Results:

  • Publication 108 details RAP biology, dosimetry, and biological effects.
  • Publication 114 outlines transfer factors for radionuclide estimation.
  • Publication 124 provides guidance on applying the system to various exposure situations.

Conclusions:

  • The ICRP system provides a robust framework for environmental radiation protection.
  • Ongoing work focuses on improving dosimetry and deriving specific databases for representative organisms.
  • Future efforts will integrate radiation effects into broader ecological risk assessments considering multiple stressors.
