Measurement of 238U, 233Th and 40K concentrations in soil samples collected from Ziggurat Dur-Kurigalzu west region Baghdad, have been evaluated, using high purity germanium detector. The activity varied 16.040 to 26.620 , 14.510 31.480 153.820 266.320 with average values 20.604±2.9 24.534±3.3 212.22±25.1 respectively. importance these measurements lies the estimation radiation risk, radium equ...

Soil samples from the three residential hubs of Chittagong city, Bangladesh were analyzed using gamma spectrometry to estimate radiation hazard due to natural radioactive sources and anthropogenic nuclide (137)Cs. The activity concentration of (226)Ra was found to be in the range 11-25 Bq.kg(-1), (232)Th in the range 38-59 Bq.kg(-1) and (40)K in the range 246-414 Bq.kg(-1). These results were u...

In the last few years, the treatment of castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (CRPC) has changed completely. The approval of docetaxel and subsequent investigation in this field have led to development of new agents that have demonstrated an improvement in overall survival in the post-docetaxel setting, such as cabazitaxel and abiraterone. Radium-223 chloride is a radioisotope that has recent...
