The natural radioactivity of the earth formations Tar Al-Najaf region in Al-Ashraf governorate has been studied , which is considered one most important archaeological areas province. As phenomena prominently present governorate, as it cuts sharply to form a rocky cliff, well overlooks from southern end plateau and on sea Al-Najaf, clear surprising way, flew, by selecting 30 sites take soil sam...

Making use of gamma ray spectrometric analysis method, the activities soil-borne radio-nuclides viz. 226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K in surface soil samples from a specific village coastal county has been determined. The living environment Poovar was used for study. activity concentration is evaluating various radiologically vital parameters such as levels radium equivalent (Ra eq ), external hazard in...

BACKGROUND Radium-223 dichloride, or radium-223, is a first-in-class alpha emitter that selectively targets bone metastases with high-energy, short-range alpha particles and is approved for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), symptomatic bone metastases, and no known visceral metastatic disease. Nurses are essential in educating patients about radium-223....

Four isotopes of radium with different half-lives exist in nature. In aquatic systems, radium isotopes present distinct characteristics in salt water and fresh water environments. In fresh waters, radium appears adsorbed to particulate material while in sea water radium presents a conservative behavior, being the concentration of different isotopes of radium governed by the processes of dilutio...

BACKGROUND The radiological quality of (226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K in some samples of water resources collected in Anarak-Khour a desertic area, Iran has been measured by direct gamma ray spectroscopy using high purity germanium detector in this paper. RESULT The concentration ranged from ≤0.5 to 9701 mBq/L for (226)Ra; ≤0.2 to 28215 mBq/L for (232)Th and < MDA to 10332 mBq/L for (40)K. The ra...

BACKGROUND Radium-223 dichloride (radium-223), an alpha emitter, selectively targets bone metastases with alpha particles. We assessed the efficacy and safety of radium-223 as compared with placebo, in addition to the best standard of care, in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. METHODS In our phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we rando...

The specific activity and spatial distribution of 238U, 232Th 40K were determined in the surface soil from Lișava uranium mining sector. This sector belongs to Banat district, an historically important area Romania (an with closed mines a radioactive waste dump). Gamma-ray spectrometry using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used measure naturally occurring radionuclides soil. average a...

In the 1999 bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, NATO forces used ammunition containing depleted uranium. The cleaning of depleted uranium that followed was performed in southern Serbia by the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences between 2002 and 2007 at the locations of Pljačkovica, Borovac, Bratoselce, and Reljan. This paper presents detailed results of radioactivity monitoring four ...

Understanding the speciation and fate of radium during operational discharge from offshore oil gas industry into marine environment is important in assessing its long term environmental impact. In current work, 226Ra concentrations sediments contaminated by produced water a site UK were analysed using gamma spectroscopy. Radium was present field samples (0.1–0.3 Bq g−1) within International Ato...

background: tea is one of the most popular beverages all over the world which is prepared from the leaves of a shrub camellia sinensis. eastern black sea region of turkey which account for around 100% of all tea production in turkey was among the areas contaminated by chernobyl accident. materials and methods: a comprehensive study was planned and carried out to determine the level of gross α a...
