Is Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy a beneficial therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy? A Review of the Evidence Issue: Is Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy a beneficial therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy? Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is being promoted as a new therapy for children afflicted with cerebral palsy. It is being utilized by several specialized medical centers in the US‚ Europe and Canada. The rationale behind this therapy is inhalation of pressurized

Thus‚ it is important to study the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide with a view to predict the level of toxicity to M. rosernbergii post larvae. 1.2 Problem statement One of the effects of the use of hydrogen peroxide in shrimp farming is that it could bring negative effects to the shrimps‚ workers and also to the nearer

toxic metals resulting from different sources like accidental spillage of chemical wastes‚ periodic precipitation contaminated with air borne pollutants‚ discharge of industrial or sewerage effluents‚ agricultural drainage and domestic wastewater. Toxicity with heavy metals to humans as a result of fish contamination has led to many studies on heavy metals in fish (Rashed 2000). Contamination of aquatic ecosystems with heavy metals has been receiving increased worldwide attention due to their harmful

Though the neurotoxicity of chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin has been much studied in rodents‚ little is known about the teratogenicity and developmental toxicity to fish in early life stages. In nature‚ fish are not exposed to single chemicals‚ but to a mixture of pollutants in aquatic system. The behavior of chemical mixtures in aquatic species is based on their toxic mode of action.

higher dose and normal tissues will receive a lower dose. Because 3DCRT does not modulate as precisely to the tumour‚ the patient can be at risk of a large amount of normal tissue receiving a higher dose of radiation. This will result in a lot more toxicities for the patient and conclude that the tumour will receive a lesser dose of radiation. It is our aim to deliver as high a dose as possible to the tumour and as small a dose as possible to normal tissue and organs. A disadvantage
