Hematological profile change in radiation field workers

Objectives: This study focuses on the hematological parameters change and age in radiation field workers. The study aimed to identify the effect of radiation on hematological parameters and their relation to age and duration of the experience in radiation field workers. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Physiology research center in collaboration with thalassemia and hemogl...

Risk estimation for badge-monitored radiation workers.

In estimating the cancer mortality risk for radiation workers it is conventional to use data obtained from the populations exposed to radiation as a result of the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This A-bomb experience resulted in relatively high doses of radiation and short periods of exposure. The availability of systematic analyses of the mortality of workers at the Hanford plant...

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH): a new UK register.

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare interstitial lung disease of unknown aetiology. We aimed to characterise a UK-wide cohort of patients with PLCH and compare diagnostic and management methods in specialist and non-specialist centres. 106 cases (53 hospitals) identified. Complete data received in 67 cases (53.7% female, age 37.1±14.4 years). 96% current or ex-smokers. Trea...

The UK Deployment of the E-Electoral Register

In this paper we analyse the experience gained in the 2002 and 2003 UK e-voting pilots in the implementation of the e-electoral register of voters. After theoretically establishing the need for an e-register, based on the analysis of the evaluation reports provided and direct observation undertaken in one of the pilots, we describe the systems used and identify the different organisational and ...
