Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.0K
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...

Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.7K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Radiation: Applications

1.8K
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...

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving

864
The radiation pressure applied by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing surface equals the energy density of the wave. The wave's momentum also gets transferred to the surface when an electromagnetic wave is entirely absorbed by it. The rate at which momentum is transmitted to an absorbing surface perpendicular to the propagation direction equals the force on the surface.
The average value of the rate of momentum transfer divided by the absorbing area represents the average force...

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations01:10

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

7.2K
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Oncology Research
  • Translational Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Clinical data warehouses are crucial for research, with the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) platform being a standard.
  • Integrating radiation therapy data into i2b2 is essential for advanced cancer research and personalized treatment planning but is often unaddressed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of integrating radiation oncology data into the i2b2 platform for rectal cancer patient research.
  • To enable the use of comprehensive patient data, including radiation therapy details, within the i2b2 framework.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid storage approach was implemented in an i2b2 instance, combining "Entity-Attribute-Value" with "JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)" document storage.
  • Raw radiation therapy data, including dose details and dose-volume histogram (DVH) curves, were extracted using reverse engineering and vendor APIs.
  • Validation involved replicating vendor screens and using R software to display DVH curves.

Main Results:

  • A pipeline was developed and evaluated on 262 patients, successfully integrating radiation therapy data into the i2b2 instance.
  • Preliminary use cases demonstrated the ability to fetch and visualize DVH curve data from the integrated clinical data warehouse.
  • The system facilitated the analysis of radiation therapy response in cancer patients.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of radiation therapy data into i2b2 enhances the platform's utility for cancer research.
  • New ontology-based modules can be created using stored radiation therapy data, providing researchers with a broader spectrum of clinical information.
  • This approach supports personalized treatment planning and deeper analysis of radiation therapy outcomes.
