In this research, alpha-emitter concentrations of 222Rn, 226Ra, and 238U in Iranian, Turkish, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Iraqi canned cheeses that are available markets were measured using the CR-39 detector. Also, health risk parameters associated with ingestion radionuclides, such as annual average internal effective dose (AAIED) an excess cancer fatality per million persons (RECFPMP), calculat...

Only three cases of non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema secondary to high dose verapamil ingestion have been described in the literature. This report describes two girls, who developed pulmonary oedema in the course of massive dose verapamil ingestion (total of 6000 mg and 7200 mg). Left ventricule size and function was normal on transthoracic echocardiograms in both of these patients. They were t...

Plasma coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) response to oral ingestion of various CoQ10 formulations was examined. Both total plasma CoQ10 and net increase over baseline CoQ10 concentrations show a gradual increase with increasing doses of CoQ10. Plasma CoQ10 concentrations plateau at a dose of 2400 mg using one specific chewable tablet formulation. The efficiency of absorption decreases as the dose increases....

In this paper, the evaluation of Rn-222 radioactivity content in drinking water samples from Calabria region, southern Italy, is reported as a case study. The Rn-222-specific activity analyzed groundwater for human use was evaluated by using PerkinElmer Tricarb 4910 TR setup and compared with parameter value (100 Bq L−1) reference Italian legislation, i.e., D.Lgs. 28/2016, derived European Dire...

This study evaluates the quality of drinking water samples (sample size = 52) taken from various locations Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand. The parameters include physiochemical properties viz. total dissolved solids (TDS in mg/L), electrical conductivity/salinity (µS/cm), pH and radiological dose attributable to radon (µSv/y). TDS values for tested varied within range 18–434 mg/L with averag...

Numerous studies have demonstrated that induced alkalosis through ingestion of a sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) solution can enhance performance during maximalintensity exercise of varying durations, as well as maintain performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise. Several studies have investigated the effect of dose ingested on subsequent exercise performance. For example, Horswill e...

One of the primary goals World Health Organization (WHO) is for every society to have an adequate supply safe drinking water. This work aimed assess radiological and toxicity impact ground water Wurno Local Government Area. Uranium activity concentration from 45 samples collected different locations in study area were determined using HpGe detector, result analysis was used evaluate annual effe...
