Estimating RBEs at clinical doses from microdosimetric spectra.
To the Editor, Microdosimetry is perhaps the most useful tool for intercomparing the different types of radiation that are used in radiotherapy; the relative effects of different radiations are controlled by the different initial energy deposition patterns in cellular targets—the subject matter of microdosimetry. It is therefore appropriate that many authors have measured microdosimetric spectr...
متن کاملInterpreting microdosimetric spectra
The field of microdosimetry is the study of those physical characteristics of energy transfers other than dose that produce variations in biological consequences of exposures to radiation. Historically, this area developed primarily from a need to understand and quantify the differences in human responses to different types of radiation, in particular the variations in late complications for th...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications
Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
متن کاملThe Governance of Health Systems; Comment on “A Network Based Theory of Health Systems and Cycles of Well-Being”
Health systems research aims to understand the governance of health systems (i.e. how health systems function and perform and how their actors interact with each other). This can be achieved by applying innovative methodologies and concepts that are going to capture the complexity and dynamics of health systems when they are affected by shocks. The capacity of health systems to adapt to shocks ...
متن کاملShanghai’s Track Record in Population Health Status: What Can Explain It?; Comment on “Shanghai Rising: Health Improvements as Measured by Avoidable Mortality Since 2000”
Health reforms that emphasize public health and improvements in primary care can be cost-effective measures to achieve health improvements, especially in developing countries that face severe resource constraints. In their paper “Shanghai rising: health improvements as measured by avoidable mortality since 2000,” Gusmano et al suggest that Shanghai’s health policy-makers have been successful in...
