The concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides of Ra and Ra were determined in the groundwater samples in three areas near Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. The waters of these areas are supplied for the city consumption. A total of thirty water samples of the three areas were analyzed for Ra and Ra. The concentration of Ra was found in the range from 2.1 – 6.3, 7.2 14.1 and 16.7 – 33.5 mBq...

OBJECTIVES Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in Western countries. Recent advances in the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have caused significant pressure on health care budgets. We aimed to exemplify this dilemma presenting an example, radium-223 (Xofigo®), and review the literature. METHODS A 74-year-old man diagnosed with mCRPC was referred...

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...
