Web-based survey methods identified pre-diced tomatoes as the source of this outbreak, which highlights the utility of such investigative tools to cope with the changing epidemiology of foodborne diseases.
متن کاملDetermination of human absorbed dose from [153Sm]-Samarium maltolate based on distribution data in rats
Background: Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are designed to deliver high doses of radiation to selected target organs with an aim of minimizing unwanted radiation to surrounding healthy tissue. Due to the potential of targeted radiotherapy to treat a wide range of malignant conditions, [153Sm]-samarium maltolate was developed for possible therapeutic applications. Materials and Methods: The or...
