Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.1K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

4.0K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.4K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

What are Estimates?

8.9K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Radiation Safety

Background:

  • Patient radiation exposure is a critical consideration in interventional radiology (IR).
  • Understanding dose variability is essential for optimizing safety protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report patient radiation exposure data from diagnostic and therapeutic IR procedures.
  • To establish provisional reference dose-area product (DAP) values for protocol optimization.

Main Methods:

  • Collected radiation exposure data (DAP, fluoroscopy time, images) from 455 IR procedures.
  • Procedures performed on a biplane angiographic machine in a tertiary care hospital.
  • Correlated DAP with fluoroscopy time, image counts, and cumulative dose.

Main Results:

  • Significant variability in DAP observed across diagnostic and therapeutic IR procedures.
  • Reported DAP values for procedures like upper limb angiography and cerebral aneurysm coiling.
  • Third quartile DAP values identified as provisional reference points for procedures with n ≥ 10.

Conclusions:

  • The reported DAP values are comparable to previously published data, suggesting broad applicability.
  • Provisional reference DAP values can aid in optimizing IR procedure protocols.
  • This data contributes to enhancing radiation safety in interventional radiology.
