Radiation exposure among patients with the highest CT scan utilization in the emergency department. Emerg Radiol 2013 Dec;20(6):485-491. [doi: 10.1007/s10140-013-1142-8] [Medline: 23852432]Shah KH, Slovis BH, Runde D, Godbout B, Newman DH, Lee J (2013) Radiation exposure among ...
Among those undergoing CT imaging in our ED, high-exposure patients (greater than ten scans) constituted a significant minority, while more than one in four patients underwent more than one CT scan during the study period. While the presumed overall risk of radiation-induced cancer continues to ...
Vitamin D is made by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight and is therefore called the sunshine vitamin. Sun exposure (dermal synthesis) is the primary source of vitamin D for most people. (11) Depending on the season and where you live, sunlight may not help your body create ...
3. Radiation Therapists The role of a radiation therapist is to explain the treatment plans to a patient and answer any questions they may have about the treatment. They should be able to protect the patients from unnecessary radiation exposure and ensure that the treatments are administered correc...
CNET presents the five phones with the highest radiation. The FCC mandates that all cell phones must be tested for their specific absorption rate (SAR) – the rate of which radiation from the phone is absorbed into your body. The maximum level that the FCC allows is 1.6 watts/kg of flesh...
HZE ions, although a small fraction of the overall GCR spectrum compared to protons, are more biologically damaging. They differ from terrestrial forms of radiation, such as X-rays and gamma-rays, in both the amount (dose) of exposure as well as in the patterns of DNA double-strand ...
We also note that the acceleration of upper-atmosphere winds we report may have enhanced snow ablation at the SCG by increasing physical deflation, a process not considered in our simulations, yet also capable of triggering rapid glacier loss if it leads to more frequent ice exposure. Warming ...

Job Challenges: There is some risk of exposure to radiation, though all possible precautions are taken to keep that from happening. And because nuclear power plants run continuously, you should expect to do shift work that may also include a variable schedule. The biggest challenge may be that...
Answer to: The highest temperatures during the day are typically around solar noon, coordinating with the highest levels of solar radiation. a)...
