A patient may receive radiation therapy before‚ during‚ or after surgery. Some patients may receive radiation therapy alone‚ without surgery or other treatments. Some patients may receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time. The timing of radiation therapy depends on the type of cancer being treated and the goal of treatment (cure or palliation). Radiation therapy given before surgery is called pre-operative or neoadjuvant radiation. Neoadjuvant radiation may be given to shrink a

the two experiments was to determine the fundamental effects that temperature has on the growth and survival of bacteria. During the first experiment five different bacterial broth cultures of Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus were individually incubated at temperatures of 5‚ 25‚ 37‚ 45 and 55°C for one week in an aim to distinguish the effect temperature has on growth and survival of the five different species.

Environment ’s effect on Growth of Bread Molds I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Molds are species of fungi. There are many different kinds of molds‚ some of which are specially adapted to grow in particular environments or on particular surfaces. Unlike plants‚ molds cannot produce their own food‚ so they need an external source of energy and nutrients. Molds (and mildew) are fungi. Fungi are neither plant nor animal but‚ since 1969‚ have their own kingdom. The fungi kingdom

Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential component in the interdisciplinary treatment of brain tumors. Independently of histology‚ radiation plays a central role and has shown to increase local tumor control. Developments in radiation oncology are always aiming at an increase precision of dose delivery: More conformal coverage of target volumes‚ steep dose gradients to surrounding tissues‚ and sparing of organs at risk (OAR). In photon therapy‚ based on 3D-RT‚ stereotactic radiotherapy was a big step

Is Cell Phone Radiation Really Harmful? With sixty percent of the world’s population using cell phones‚ recent concern has risen from the medical front concerning the harmful effects of cell phone use. All scientific research has concluded that mobile phones do produce RF energy and emit electromagnetic radiation. Studies have also concluded that high levels of RF energy can be harmful to human health. However‚ all scientific studies have not agreed if the levels of RF energy emitted from modern

Research on Conduction‚ Convention‚ and Radiation Conduction is the exchange of warmth between substances that are in direct contact with one another. The better the conductor‚ the all the more quickly warmth will be exchanged. Metal is a decent conduction of warmth. Conduction happens when a substance is warmed‚ particles will acquire vitality‚ and vibrate more. These atoms then chance upon adjacent particles and exchange some of their vitality to them. This then proceeds with and passes the vitality

The radiation protection to be practiced → cell phone radiation During normal use‚ over half of the radiation transmitted by your mobile phone is absorbed by your head or body. Around 80% of the phone’s microwave emissions are absorbed by the head. Only shielding or distance to the phone can reduce their severe impact. The United Nations World Health Organization has classified mobile phone radiation as possibly cancer causing and advise that it is important for mobile phone users to minimize
