| | Metastatic Brain Tumors And Radiation | | 2008-06-28 00:00:00 | | Metastatic brain tumors may be quite aggressive and may return even after surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Metastatic disease requires treatment of the original tumor site if applicable. Some primary brain tumors respond to certain forms of therapy better than others. Metastatic brain tumors are classified depending on the exact site of the tumor within the [...] | | By: Resources Zone | | |
| | Radiation heat loss | | 2008-06-19 08:55:25 | | Hi,
I have a hot pipe at 500degF surrounded by a metal screen for protection. I want to find how hot the screen will become. I have found that the radiation heat loss is the main factor and calculated the heat load. If I consider 50% view favtor and then equate it to heat loss due to air c | | By: CR4: The Engineer's Place for Discussion & New | | |

| | Radiation Effects on Sleeping People | | 2008-05-09 12:15:51 | | Mobile phones are a rave these days but apparently, one thing that we also know is that the radiation that they emit is dangerous to us in more ways than one. It will only be a matter of time before we find out the effects that a cellular phone’s radiation can do to our overall [...] | | By: Sleepzine | | |
| | Crohn's Disease Patients Should Limit Their Exposure to Radiation! | | 2008-05-06 12:13:00 | | Specialist centres must take steps to reduce the amount of radiation people with Crohn's disease are exposed to from diagnostic imaging, radiologists have urged [1]. Patients with Crohn's disease may be particularly vulnerable to radiation owing to their young age at presentation and an elevated risk of some intestinal malignancies such as small bowel lymphoma.Researchers estimated the cumulative effective dose (CED) of diagnostic radiation of 354 patients with Crohn’s disease treated at a tertiary centre.They found that 55 patients, 15.5 per cent, had a 'high' CED – defined as greater than 75mSv.Less than six imaging studies were performed per patient over the first five years of the 15-year study. During this period the mean CED was 7.9mSv, with CT accounting for 46.3 per cent of radiation exposure.During the last five years, these figures had increased to almost seven images per patient and a mean CED of 25.1mSv. CT accounted for 84.7 per cent of radiation exposure at this time. | | By: Living with Crohn's Disease | | |

| | Should You be Concerned About the Health Impact of Cell Phone Radiation on Your Children? | | 2008-04-06 12:42:35 | | Few people have not heard the many different rumors, ideas, beliefs, and "news reports" that have indicated that the radiation from cellular phones may be bad for our health. Gossip claiming health issues of all kinds, from brain tumors to birth irregularities and other claims have been related to talking on cell phones, but have you ever asked yourself if any of these stories actually have facts to go with them? If you or someone you love uses a cell phone - especially on a regular basis - then the odds are that the thought has indeed crossed your mind.The reason that so many people have heard and often believe these stories is because of the electromagnetic waves used by regular cell phones that are in the microwave range, as well as the growing number of cell phone towers popping up in residential areas and places where people commonly gather.When it comes to cell phone towers, they have been specifically designed so that the waves occur far above where people are moving about, and | | By: Health Articles - Information on Health, Health Ca | | |
| | | EMFs Radiation | | 2008-03-03 16:23:00 | | In addition to living in a sea of carcinogens and inheriting oncogens, we have made matters worse by the indiscriminate use of gadgets offered to us by the boom in technology, thus making ourselves vulnerable to the increasing incidence of cancer and other diseases. Various Electromagnetic Frequencies pervading our environment are found to cause disease and promote latent diseases and cancer.Dr. Abraham Liboff of Oakland University found that 'mitosis', a continuous process of cell division and reproduction, was speeded up when cells were exposed to a magnetic field. Several researchers have raised the possibility that low level exposures to EMFs may be altering the genetic process and causing abnormal cell growth and disturbance in Melatonin Metabolism. EMFs, coupled with other environmental agents, produce adverse effects on atoms and cells in metabolism and biological systems. With the help of modern equipment we can identify the various radiations existing in the environment, their | | By: Geopathic Stress | | |
| | | Motorcycle Radiation Related To Cancer Risks? | | 2007-12-05 00:11:55 | | Author Randall Dale Chipkar published a book entitled "Motorcycle Cancer?" Are motorcycles killing us with cancers of the prostate, colon, kidney, bone, etc? Chipkar intends to share his analysis and hopes to create worldwide awareness about this possibly shocking breakthrough. | | By: Driver's Blog | | |

| | Radiation | | 2007-06-30 01:31:00 | | Visible light is just one part of the spectrum of electro magnetic radiation, which ranges from radio waves at one end to ultraviolet light and gamma rays at the other. Try to reduce exposure to all kinds of radiation as far as possible.Microwaves and Radio Frequencies1. leakage of energy from microwave ovens is normally very small. Reduce it by keeping door seals clean and ensuring that the hinges, door latch and safety interlocks all work.2. reduce exposure to stray radio frequency (RF) energy from heaters, driers and presses by shielding the electrode applicator. Limit exposure time or avoid getting too close to the source.3. do not touch RF electrodes. Prevent unauthorized access to the high voltage electrical equipment e.g. by interlocking all cubicle doors.Ionizing Radiations 1. a risk assessment of any activity involving work with ionizing radiations must by made before the work begins2. employers carrying out certain practices must do so in accordance with a prior authorization granted by local government health and safety officials.3. contractors carrying out site radiography (e.g. checking welds on pipework or vessels must notify local government health and safety official before work starts.4. smoke detectors and static elimination often contain sources. Find out rules for safe storage and use from the supplier and never tamper with them.5. treat luminous articles and self-illuminating devices with similar respect.6. appoint a radiation protection advisor7. arrange for medical examinations/reviews and routine dose assessment of employees whom you designate as “classified person”8. appoint one or more of your employees to supervise radiation work9. make arrangements to cater for spills of radioactive substances, x-ray exposures failing to terminate etc10. get authorization for use, storage and safe disposal of radioactive substances11. arrange for tests where raised levels of radon gas are likely because of workplace location, construction and ventilat | | By: Work Health and Safety | | |
| | Adaptive Radiation | | 2007-06-08 12:11:00 | | Because the environment exerts such control over the adaptations that arise by natural selection-including the co-adaptations of different species evolving together, such as flowers and pollinators-the kind of organism that would fill a particular environmental niche ought to be predictable in general terms. An example of this process of adaptive radiation, or filling out of environmental niches by the development of new species, is provided by Australia. When Australia became a separate continent some 60 million years ago, only monotremes and marsupials lived there, with no competition from the placental mammals that were emerging on other continents. Although only two living monotremes are found in Australia today, the marsupials have filled most of the niches open to terrestrial mammals on that continent. Because Australian habitats resemble those in other parts of the world, marsupial equivalents can be found to the major placental herbivores, carnivores, and even rodents and moles | | By: Suray\\\\\\\'s Words | | |
