options. Radiation therapy has impacted many people’s lives just in the last few years. Cancer patients especially‚ have been given another chance at life through a few treatment rounds. In the past to remove cancerous tumors and small masses‚ surgery was the only option to improve those patients lives; with advances in technology and medicine‚ radiation therapy has become a very likely option for these patients. An option that helps improve their state of life‚ while not having the side effects of

if UV Radiation induced a mutation in the DNA of Serratia Marcescens and prevented the production of the red pigment called Prodigiosin. Hypothesis: Maybe the disappearance of red color in Serratia Marcescens is caused by the UV light which induces mutations in its DNA and is known as a common mutagen. Prediction: If UV light mutates the DNA of Serratia Marcescens then the red pigment colonies of the bacteria will no longer be produced. Independent Variable: Ultra Violet Radiation Dependent

Acute Radiation Syndrome Acute radiation syndrome which is also sometimes known as radiation sickness or radiation toxicity is an extremely serious illness that occurs when the entire body (or most of it) receives a high dose of penetrating radiation‚ a dose greater than 50 rads‚ in a very short period of time. Studies in animals and humans exposed to radiation have allowed researchers to describe acute radiation syndrome. The most replicative cells are the most sensitive to the acute effects

The Pro and Cons of Chemo and Radiation TRENEICE L. ANDERSON Pros of Chemo In early-stages cancer‚ surgery is performed with the intention of curing the disease. This is often followed by chemotherapy to reduce the risks of recurrence. In case of advanced-stage cancer‚ the aim of treatment is to control the cancer by controlling the symptoms. This enhances survival and ensures a better quality of life. THE EFFORT OF AWARENESS OF BREAST CANCER IS TO PUSH MORE WOMEN AND LOVE ONES TO TALK

Convection‚ and Radiation The three types of heat transfers are Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. For example hot objects that are in a room that is cooler than the temperature of the object will eventually cool to room temperature. First is conduction‚ conduction is heat transferring through direct contact of substances. Then convection‚ which is the transfer of heat by the movement of the warmed matter. Lastly radiation is electromagnetic

Uses of Radiation in the Medical Industry Although scientists have only known about radiation since the 1890s‚ they have developed a wide variety of uses for this natural force. Today‚ to benefit humankind‚ radiation is used in medicine‚ academics‚ and industry‚ as well as for generating electricity. In addition‚ radiation has uses in such areas as agriculture‚ space exploration‚ law enforcement‚ geology and many others. However‚ in the medical industry‚ radiation is used for x-rays‚ therapeutic

5 When Radiation Therapy Kills 1. What concept in this chapter are illustrated in this case? What ethical issues are raised by radiation technology? There are three basic concept that can be apply in ethics in an information society. The concept that illustrated in this case is accountability. Accountability can be define as the responsibility to someone or for some activity. In this case hospital need to find the mechanism to identify the responsible parties for the radiation therapy

Some of the greatest medical advancements in the modern age involve the use of many different types of radiation. Radiation therapy is used in treating multiple different types of cancer‚ and radiation from certain elements are put in X-ray tubes to save countless lives and prevent permanent injury wherever possible. Many organisations also use it for security‚ as well as the general use in the everyday home. These advancements and many more were based on the work of Marie Curie‚ renowned female
