The absorption characteristics of Cd(2+) by 10- to 12-day-old soybean plants (Glycine max cv Williams) were investigated with respect to influence of Cd concentration on adsorption to root surfaces, root absorption, transport kinetics and interaction with the nutrient cations Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Mn(2+), and Zn(2+). The fraction of nonexchangeable Cd bound to roots remained relatively constant at 20...

introduction radiotherapy is regarded as the first treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. despite the advantages of radiotherapy, patients may suffer from a wide range of side-effects due to the presence of many sensitive normal tissues in these regions. if the absorbed dose exceeds the tolerance level in parotid glands and the spinal cord, myelopathy, lhermitte's sign and xeros...

Introduction Radiotherapy is regarded as the first treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Despite the advantages of radiotherapy, patients may suffer from a wide range of side-effects due to the presence of many sensitive normal tissues in these regions. If the absorbed dose exceeds the tolerance level in parotid glands and the spinal cord, myelopathy, Lhermitte's sign and xerostomia...

Relation to high absorption fraction of Tc sestamibi by kidneys in heart scan and these organs are near to generation organs (Ovaries and uterus). Urinary system (kidneys and urinary bladder) are specified as sources organs. The main object of this study is to determine the absorbed dose in these critical organs. we have set amount of absorbed fraction radiopharmaceutical in position of kidneys...

A microscopic mass balance approach has shown that the initial saturation (Is), absorption number (An), dose number (Do), and dissolution number (Dn) are four fundamental dimensionless parameters that can be used to estimate the fraction dose absorbed (~ of suspensions of poorly soluble drugs in humans. The dissolution number of a drug increases with decreasing its particle size. The effect of ...

4.1 Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion The disposition of various formulations of oral contraceptives used in humans differs. In general, both the oestrogenic and progestogenic compounds in combined oral contraceptives are absorbed by the gut and metabolized largely in the liver. A fraction of the absorbed dose of ethinyloestradiol and several progestogens is excreted in the bil...
