Radionuclide

causing the surrounding areas to also get a dose of the Chernobyl incidents radiation. According to Seibersdorf “The released radionuclides were lifted to an altitude of more than 500 m where they could be transported for long distances. This lead to a global dispersion of the released radionuclides not anticipated to that amount up to now. The major three plumes carrying radionuclides from the power plant in the first 6 days are shown in Fig. 1. The first plume transported the nuclides in northern direction

This research examines the effects of water contamination and how it can affect the human body. Water contamination is a growing concern globally that is not well controlled by water supply systems . Studies have shown that through prolonged exposure to harsh contaminants causes neurological and physical effects to humans resulting in disorders and diseases. Water, otherwise known as H2O, is an odorless & tasteless liquid essential in life, that supplies nutrients and allows species to continue

The important arguments for the need to implement evidence-based practice (EBP) are that it leads to the highest quality of care and the best patient outcome (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011). It is the standard of practice for nurses to be able to use research skills for evidence-based knowledge that are relevant to their clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to outline and compare the selected articles on how the study findings related to patients with chest pain, to determine the validity

Resultantly, radionuclide contaminated the NPP area and the surrounding areas. The Japanese Science Ministry reported that long-lived radioactive cesium had contaminated 11,580 square miles of the land surface of Japan. When the radioactive cesium spread in the ecosystem

Jonas has been experiencing problems pertaining to his heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system. He has had chronic hypertension for 7 years and his doctor prescribed medication for it, but Jonas has not been taking it frequently enough to actually bring his blood pressure down. He usually misses three pills a week, so of the estimated 2,500 hypertension medication doses that he was supposed to take, he has only taken around 1,450 doses. His breathing has suffered as he has shortness of breath

Water, otherwise known as H2O, is an odorless & tasteless liquid essential in life, that supplies nutrients and allows species to continue to exist on this very Earth. It helps with functionality of the human body by regulating temperature, brain energy, muscles, relieving headaches etc. In modern times, 71 % of the Earth 's surface is covered with water while oceans hold over 96.5 % of all Earth 's water. It can be found just about anywhere from rivers and lakes to icecaps and glaciers, in the

Neuroradiological imaging plays an important role in the process of diagnosing ischaemic stroke. The different imaging modalities that can be used to diagnose ischaemic stroke include computed tomography (CT), magnetic imaging resonance (MRI), and radionuclide imaging. In this article, the different modalities that contribute to the diagnostic process are discussed, with a focus on CT scan protocols. Computed tomography Noncontrast computed tomography Patients who are suspected of having an

The technology that is being investigated is the PET scan. The PET scan functions as a result of the specific atomic properties of positrons which are subatomic particles that have the opposite charge of electrons but the same mass. The PET scanner detects these positrons which are emanated by the radioactive chemicals attached to a chemical the body naturally metabolizes (Positron Emission Tomography, 2014). The PET scan is used in the fields of oncology, neurology, and cardiology to determine the

face the unprecedented task of defining an epoch at its genesis rather than millions of years after its end. Castree argues that the severity of human impact on the Earth, indicative of the Anthropocene is already stratigraphically evident in radionuclides from atomic bombs, micro particles of plastic and hydrocarbons from fossil fuels. He also argues that these effects, because of their extremity and the feedback’s triggered between systems, will be pervasive for thousands of years, causing environmental

American Indians have endured health disparities as a result of unmet needs and traumatic historical experiences that have persisted for over 500 hundred years.1(p99) Since first contact, American Indians have been exposed to infectious disease and death2(p19), more importantly, a legacy of genocide, legislated forcible removal, reservation, termination, allotment, and assimilation3. This catastrophic history had led to generational historical traumas and contributes to the poorest health in the
