Abstract:

The domain of Physics covers vast area of scientific knowledge. Basic research on assemblies of atomic or nuclear radiation and gyromagnetic moments led to powerful technique for studying molecular structure as well as solid lattices. It led to invention and development of modern medical diagnostic and theraputic tools which have revolutionized the medical practices. Advancement in medical researches as seen today will be well-nigh impossible without the use of the finding of Physics. The funding made on Physics is in fact another way of funding made on human health.Keywords: Radioactivity; Crystallography; Radioimmune assay; MRI; CAT; PETThe Himalayan PhysicsVol.2, No.2, May, 2011Page: 43-46Uploaded Date: 1 August, 2011

Abstract:

Since radiation accidents, particularly nuclear disasters, are rarer than other types of disasters, a comprehensive radiation disaster medical curriculum for them is currently unavailable. The Fukushima compound disaster has urged the establishment of a new medical curriculum in preparation for any future complex disaster. The medical education will aim to aid decision making on various health risks for workers, vulnerable people, and residents addressing each phase in the disaster. Herein, we introduce 3 novel educational programs that have been initiated to provide students, professionals, and leaders with the knowledge of and skills to elude the social consequences of complex nuclear disasters. The first program concentrates on radiation disaster medicine for medical students at the Fukushima Medical University, together with a science, technology, and society module comprising various topics, such as public risk communication, psychosocial consequences of radiation anxiety, and decision making for radiation disaster. The second program is a Phoenix Leader PhD degree at the Hiroshima University, which aims to develop future leaders who can address the associated scientific, environmental, and social issues. The third program is a Joint Graduate School of Master’s degree in the Division of Disaster and Radiation Medical Sciences at the Nagasaki University and Fukushima Medical University.

Abstract:

IntroductionSingapore is considered a prime target for transnational terrorism. Perpetrators may select an explosive radiation dispersal device or “dirty bomb” as their weapon of choice. Additional risks of a local radiological emergency may arise from mishaps involving visiting marine nuclear-powered vessels. Strategies and methods used to enhance preparedness to respond to radiological mass-casualty incidents (MCIs) will be described.MethodsA core group comprising hospital emergency managers and radiology and emergency department staff spearheaded preparedness efforts. The Ministry of Health Guiding Document on managing radiological MCIs provides the principles and operational concepts to anchor the development of local protocols. Discussion sessions, site visits, drills, and exercises are conducted to improve organization performance. Expert opinion and feedback from various stakeholders and partners help shaped the overall plan.ResultsPreparedness activities focused on improving surge response capability through broad categories include: 1. Staff—Radiation response teams were developed and assigned roles and responsibilities. Training and education programs were created for different staff positions, e.g., on correct usage of electronic personal dosimeters and acute radiation syndrome. 2. Stuff—Material resources such as antidotes, and expendables like floor covering were procured and stored. 3. System—These areas include: (a) activation procedures; (b) communication plans; (c) safety measures; (d) casualty transfer protocols; and (e) handling radiologically contaminated waste and materials. 4. Space—Potential care areas, such as radiation isolation rooms were designated. An algorithm was devised to guide casualty management.ConclusionsFacility preparedness for radiological MCIs requires multidisciplinary involvement and the creation of trusting partnerships. More research is needed to identify the metrics to measure success objectively and aid protocol revisions.

Abstract:

Radiation measurement is a key technology for various sciences. The education of radiation science is demanding in Southeast Asian countries. We are collaborating with Universities in Southeast Asia. Hands-on exercise is important. However, it was not so easy to provide enough number of setups. Recent developments change the situation. The granularity of detectors in particle physics and medical apparatus is increasing. It means detector unit becomes smaller and less expensive. We are developing setups for radiation measurement exercises based on those new developments. Those system is portable to carry. In Osaka University, we are organizing schools for radiation measurements inviting Southeast Asian students. In addition, we are organizing schools in Southeast Asia. Compact system helps us to carry.

Abstract:

Radiation has a wide variety of effects on the liver. Fibrosis is a concern in medical fields as one of the acute effects of high-dose irradiation, such as with cancer radiotherapies. Cancer is also an important concern following exposure to radiation. The liver has an active metabolism and reacts to radiations. In addition, effects are modulated by many environmental factors, such as high-calorie foods or alcohol beverages. Adaptations to other environmental conditions could also influence the effects of radiation. Reactions to radiation may not be optimally regulated under conditions modulated by the environment, possibly leading to dysregulation, disease or cancer. Here, we introduce some reactions to ionizing radiation in the liver, as demonstrated primarily in animal experiments. In addition, modulation of radiation-induced effects in the liver due to factors such as obesity, alcohol drinking, or supplements derived from foods are reviewed. Perspectives on medical applications by modulations of radiation effects are also discussed.

Abstract:

The analysis of indicators of radiation exposure of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures for the period from 2004 to 2019 is carried out in comparison with the quantitative dynamics of X-ray diagnostic studies. The main directions of occupational safety indicators of medical workers of the dental profile when working with X-ray diagnostic equipment have been determined. The purpose was to conduct a comparative analysis of the radiation exposure indicators of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures for the period from 2004 to 2019, to characterize the radiation safety of personnel. An analytical work was carried out on the indicators of the average radiation dose of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures according to the data of radiation and hygienic certification of the territory of the Samara region for the period from 2004 to 2019. In the framework of this study, the number and demand for X-ray diagnostic procedures in medical institutions of the dental profile among the population. A retrospective analysis of the dynamics of X-ray studies and the values of the average individual dose of radiation for personnel working with X-ray dental devices in 10 large medical institutions of the dental profile of various forms of ownership in the territory of Samara and the Samara region (C1-C10) for the period from 2004 to 2019 was carried out…. on the basis of the annual forms of statistical reporting of the radiation-hygienic passport of the organization (RGPO). The decrease in radiation exposure is due to the replacement of outdated equipment with more modern ones, the transition from film types of research to digital ones, an increase in personnel literacy in the field of radiation safety, which characterizes the improvement of radiation safety indicators for dental personnel in Samara and the Samara region.

Abstract:

MEDIRAD (Implications of Medical Low Dose Radiation Exposure) is an innovative European research project funded by EURATOM which seeks to bring closer together the nuclear and medical research communities in order to advance science for radiation protection in radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and diagnostic and interventional radiology. The project also aims to promote links between science and society, with the goal of better protecting patients and professionals, through the publication of recommendations based on MEDIRAD research findings (http://www.medirad-project.eu/). The MEDIRAD Stakeholder Forum (SF) was designed to set up a dialogue between the Consortium member organisations and the society regarding the recommendations, which are expected from this project. We envisage three successive steps in this dialogue (1: first SF consultation identifying the needs for improved medical radiological protection; 2: drafting science based MEDIRAD recommendation and 3: second SF consultation to collect feedback), which are implemented throughout the project. A first overview of input of the Stakeholder Forum about the topics to be addressed in the MEDIRAD recommendations, based on an exploratory questionnaire, is presented in this article. Quantitative and qualitative in-depth analysis leads to the identification of 11 priority thematics.

Abstract:

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant occupational risk to medical radiation science (MRS) professionals, who have a high degree of patient contact. Current research largely focusses on HAIs in patients, with limited attention given to infectious organisms that MRS professionals are exposed to. This is a significant gap that this systematic review seeks to address by summarizing current literature to determine the infectious organisms within MRS departments, their reservoirs, and transmission modes. Reporting of this systematic review follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Five databases were searched (Scopus, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL)) for relevant studies published between 1983 and 2018. Quality assessment was performed using checklists from the Johanna Briggs Institute. Nineteen studies were included in the review; twelve of which were set in diagnostic radiography departments, two in radiotherapy departments, and five in non-MRS departments. No studies were set in nuclear medicine departments, indicating a gap in the available literature. A total of 19 genera of infectious organisms were identified in the literature, with Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Bacillus, and Corynebacterium reported in all MRS departments. Infectious organisms were identified in all observational studies, indicating a need for better infection control methods and/or compliance training within MRS to minimize the risk of infections.

Abstract:

The subject of this research is the period of human radiation experiments within the framework of the Manhattan Project and the Cold War. This phenomenon took place in 1945–1974.and contradicts all known standards of the United Nations that protect human rights in the United States and worldwide. Medical radiation research were conducted in stringent secrecy of the undertaken experiments and their outcome. This article employs the problem-analytical approach for analyzing the phenomenon of human radiation experiments. The research leans on the principle of historicism, according to which human radiation experiments are traced from 1930 to the emergence of the Manhattan Project, the Cold War years, until the records were declassified in 1990s. The novelty of this work is defined by the fact that the problem of antihuman radiation tests of the Manhattan Project is poorly studied in the Russian historiography. The US archival documents and literature that ensure the objectivity of this study comprise majority of the sources. The following conclusions were made:1) on the one hand, human radiation experiments were essentially directed against the population of pro-Soviet countries, but in fact carried out on the civilians of the United States of America with discriminatory orientation towards racial minorities, economically disadvantaged, seriously ill and incurable clinic patients, disabled people, mothers and children; 2) on the other hand, these experiments contributed to the development of radiation therapy for treating cancer patients, although having undermined the health of hundreds and generating incurable forms of diseases. From the scientific perspective, human radiation experiments have enriched medical science with new knowledge on various influence of radioactive elements on the human body.

Abstract:

Cancer can reduce quality of life, place strain on families and even kill. Treatment methods are not always effective nor precise and involve either surgical removal of cancerous tissues or a combination of drugs and radiation. Advances in physics are providing new hope for treatment options in the form of radiation and, specifically, particle therapy, which includes proton beam therapy and carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT). This improves treatment precision as the beam can be targeted so that it kills cancer and not the surrounding tissue. Ryosuke Kohno, Department of Accelerator and Medical Physics, National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology, Japan, is interested in how applied physics can bridge with medicine, becoming medical physics. He has developed several beam therapies protocols over the years and is particularly interested in CIRT and how the technique can be improved.

Abstract:

Relevance. The active development of nuclear and radiation technologies and, as a result, the significant use of ionizing radiation sources in many spheres of life (national economy, science, technology, medicine, etc.) has led to a significant increase in the group of people in contact with ionizing radiation, and, accordingly, to an increase in the risk of abnormal and emergency situations with an increase in the number of victims of radiation. In the clinic of human radiation pathology, local radiation injuries are much more common than other acute radiation injuries. Intention. To determine rates of long-term radiobiological effects in patients with local radiation injuries of varying severity who underwent inpatient treatment in the Clinic of the State Research Center - Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of Federal Medical Biological Agency. Methodology. Rates of the consequences of local radiation lesions of varying severity were assessed based on the medical records of 146 patients who were affected by radiation accidents from 1950 to 2013 and underwent inpatient treatment in the Clinic of the State Research Center - Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of Federal Medical Biological Agency during the aftermath. Results and Discussion. Rates of long-term consequences were assessed depending on severity, location and size of local radiation injuries. Degrees of severity determine typical “clinical portraits” of the radiobiological consequences of local radiation injuries. Conclusion. Information about specific rates of long-term consequences of local radiation injuries can be used by healthcare professionals who care of patients affected by radiation accidents when determining adequate treatment and rehabilitation tactics for maximum preservation of working capacity in the period of consequences.

Abstract:

In recent years, novel materials with protective qualities against ionizing radiation have been discovered. Important concepts include the continued use of X-rays for diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the radiological energy range, as well as the calculation of the radiation attenuation properties of such materials, the build-up factor, and the attenuation coefficients. Radiation shielding is characterized by parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient (LAC, cm−1),.equivalent atomic number (Zeq), exposure buildup factors (EBF) and exposure absorption buildup factors (EABF). Radiation is often employed in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and accurately calculating the absorbed dosage during radiation treatment, which is one of the most popular cancer treatments. It relies on accurate modeling of the radiation beams administered to the patient and their interaction with the environment in which they are absorbed. In this research, the shielding characteristics of water, fat, and bone related to human tissue are investigated. Using Phy-X/PSD software, the equivalent atomic number (Zeq), exposure buildup factor (EBF), and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) were determined.

Abstract:

Medical applications of ionising radiation (IR) represent a key component of the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, guaranteeing efficient health care. The use of IR in medicine, the largest source of general population radiation exposure, is potentially associated with increased risk of cancer and non-cancer diseases, which needs to be evaluated to provide evidence-based input for risk-benefit considerations. Efforts are also needed to improve the safety and efficacy of medical applications through optimisation. The EC Euratom programme enhances research in medical radiation protection. The four complementary multidisciplinary projects presented here contribute to (1) improving knowledge on exposure and effects of diagnostic and therapeutic applications and (2) transferring results into clinical practice. The common aim is to optimise use for individual patients, enhance education and training, ensuring adherence to ethical standards, particularly related to technologies based on artificial intelligence. MEDIRAD, SINFONIA and HARMONIC focus on improving exposure estimation and studying the detrimental effects of diagnostic and therapeutic medical exposures in patients and staff using different endpoints. EURAMED rocc-n-roll brings together the results of the projects and the recommendations generated by them to build, in collaboration with the EU Radiation Protection research platforms, a strategic research agenda and a roadmap for research priorities.

Abstract:

Synchrotron radiation evolved over one-half century into a gigantic worldwide enterprise involving tens of thousands of researchers. Initially, almost all users were physicists. But now they belong to a variety of disciplines: chemistry, materials science, the life sciences, medical research, ecology, cultural heritage and others. This poses a challenge: explaining synchrotron sources without requiring a sophisticated background in theoretical physics. Here this challenge is met with an innovative approach that only involves elementary notions, commonly possessed by scientists of all domains.

Abstract:

Existing natural latex radiation-attenuating gloves (RAGs) contain a high loading of radiation attenuation filler that reduces their mechanical properties to below Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical glove requirements. RAGs are commonly formulated using Hevea natural rubber latex and lead-based fillers. The former can cause life-threatening allergic responses and the latter are known for their toxicity. In this work, a new lead-free RAG formulation based on circumallergenic guayule natural rubber latex (GNRL) and non-toxic radiation attenuation filler bismuth trioxide (Bi2O3) was developed. GNRL films with Bi2O3 loadings ranging from 0 to 300 PHR at different thicknesses were prepared. Radiation attenuation efficiencies (AE) at 60, 80, 100, and 120 kVp were determined and attenuation isocontour curves predicted film thickness and Bi2O3 loading required to meet or exceed the radiation attenuation requirements of ASTM D7866 and commercial RAGs. Optimal curing conditions for GNRL/Bi2O3 films with 150 PHR Bi2O3 were investigated by varying curing temperatures and time from 87 °C to 96 °C and 65 min to 90 min, respectively. In general, as the loading of the filler increased, the density of the films increased while the thickness decreased. GNRL/Bi2O3 films with 150 PHR Bi2O3 and 0.27 mm provided 5% more AE than RAG market average attenuation at the same thickness. The films with 150 PHR Bi2O3 cured under near-optimal conditions (90 °C/85 min, and 87 °C/65 min) met both the radiation attenuation standard (ASTM D7866) and the natural latex surgeon and examination glove standards (ASTM D3577 and D3578, respectively). Thus, gloves made using our formulations and protocols demonstrated potential to meet and surpass medical natural latex glove standards, offer a single product for both infection control and radiation protection instead of double-gloving, provide a greater degree of comfort to the user, and simultaneously reduce contact reactions and eliminate potential latex allergic reaction.

Full text

Abstract:

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are materials that, upon absorbing multiple photons of low energy (e.g. infrared radiation), subsequently emit a single photon of higher energy, typically within the visible spectrum. The physics of these materials have been the subject of detailed investigations driven by the potential application of these materials as medical imaging devices. One largely overlooked application of UCNPs is forensic science, wherein the ability to produce visible light from infrared light sources would result in a new generation of fingerprint powders that circumvent background interference which can be encountered with visible and ultraviolet light sources. Using lower energy, infrared radiation would simultaneously improve the safety of forensic practitioners who often employ light sources in less than ideal locations. This review article covers the development of UCNPs, the use of infrared radiation to visualise fingerprints by the forensic sciences, and the potential benefits of applying UCNP materials over current approaches.

Abstract:

Medical management of radiation emergencies will require quick and reliable biodosimetric tools for assessment of absorbed dose. Dicentric chromosomal assay (Gold standard) has a limitation of being time intensive, requires specialised human skill and cannot be used for triage and mass screening. Dose assessments of suspected individuals are critical for the medical management of radiation emergencies. For effectively utilizing the available resources, there is an urgent need for developing triage biodosimetry tools for determining the exposure status of suspected individuals. High-throughput methods, utilising the novel “omics” science approaches are emerging as new technologies and gene expression-based biodosimetry is considered a promising technique for radiation dose assessment. Gene expression signatures of radiation have demonstrated the potential for triage biodosimetry. It is a minimally invasive, rapid and reliable approach that has the ability to be a robust field-deployable point-of-care high throughput technique. In addition gene expression based biodosimetry can be useful for long-term epidemiological assessment, clinical radiation oncology and radiodiagnosis.
