Comparison of systemic plutonium deposition estimates from urinalysis and autopsy data in five whole-body donors.
The systemic deposition of (239 + 240)Pu was determined by postmortem radiochemical analysis of the tissues from five whole-body donors to the United States Transuranium Registry (USTR). All were males with intakes typically occurring many years prior to death. The postmortem radiochemical results were compared with estimates of systemic deposition made with 13 different biokinetic models using...

متن کاملPulmonary myelolipoma containing osseous tissue: An unexpected finding at autopsy
Pulmonary myelolipoma is a very rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements such as erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocytic. It usually represents accidental finding during autopsy or chest imaging, since most cases are asymptomatic. Larger masses can lead to hemorrhage, chest pain and chest organ compression.

متن کاملLung fibrosis in plutonium workers.
There have been few systematic studies of the non-malignant health effects of alpha-particle radiation in humans. Animal studies and a report on plutonium-exposed workers from Russia suggest an association between high doses to the lung from plutonium exposure and the development of fibrotic lung disease. Prompted by a case of lung fibrosis in a retired plutonium worker, we tested the hypothesi...
