Chemical safety: a global challenge.

Chemical safety: a global challenge.

Tumour radioiodine concentration has been compared with serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and, in a few cases, with tumour complement of thyrotrophin receptors in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. All tumours examined possessed TSH receptors. In most the complement was similar to that of normal thyroid tissue although all but one of the tumours had no detectable 1311 concentration in vivo ...

Medication Without Harm: WHO's Third Global Patient Safety Challenge

1680 www.thelancet.com Vol 389 April 29, 2017 In 1960, Alphonse Chapanis, turned his attention from engineering to health care. In a study of medicationrelated errors in a 1100-bed hospital, he and his colleague identified seven sources of such errors potentially leading to harm to a patient: medicine omitted, or given to the wrong patient, at the wrong dose, as an unintended extra dose, by the...
