The aim of this study was to establish a classification system for the acromioclavicular joint using cadaveric dissection and radiological analyses of both reformatted computed tomographic scans and conventional radiographs centred on the joint. This classification should be useful for planning arthroscopic procedures or introducing a needle and in prospective studies of biomechanical stresses ...

Duodenal variceal bleeding is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Treatment strategies are reliant on case reports and case series with new developments in interventional treatment modalities including endoscopic therapy, radiological intervention, and surgery. Endoscopic treatment includes injection sclerotherapy using various agents, banding of varices and clipping of varices. Int...

background: vegetation (food stuff) is grown in soil that contains many radioactive elements such as 238u (uranium), 232th (thorium) and 40k (potassium), which may get deposited either due to radioactive fallout or/and by absorption from the soil and can pose serious health hazards. materials and methods: natural radioactivity, radiological hazards and annual effective dose assessment was carri...

cesium content and some other more radiologically important mineral elements were measuredby nuclear and non-nuclear analytical methods in iranian daily diets.this study was extended to a few moresimilar functioning elements such as sr, rb, i, k, mg and ca as well. though the 137cs and otherradionuclieds were not measured in these diets under planned regular investigation in this work, but inco...

a study on natural radioactivity in virgin and agricultural soil samples collected from sungai petani was conducted using high-purity germanium. the mean activity concentrations of 226ra, 232th, and 40k in virgin soils were 51.06±5.83, 78.44±6.42, and 125.66±7.26 bq kg−1, respectively, while those in agricultural soils were 80.63±5.78, 116.87±7.87, and 200.66±18.24 bq kg−1, respectively. the co...

the activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in ibrahim badamasi babangida university (ibbu), lapai, niger state-nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (mpc2000b-dp) detector. this study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...

Since the publication of ICRP60, there has been a considerable amount of work carried out by many to reduce the dose received by patients during common fluoroscopy procedures. This has included equipment improvements, optimisation of equipment, use of fast film/screen combinations, etc. Papers have been published showing large dose savings can be made by attention to equipment (1, 2), but also ...

THE visualization of the pancreas has not, as yet, become a routine procedure. The radiological diagnosis of pancreatic disease still depends, by and large, on indirect signs, whether these are shown on plain films or on barium examinations. The barium meal with special reference to the duodenal loop remains the sheet anchor of the average radiologist. The method and the signs of this examinati...

Strategies and decisions to protect emergency responders, the public, and critical infrastructure against the effects of a radiological dispersal device detonated outdoors must be made in the planning stage, not in the early period just after an attack. This contrasts with planning for small-scale types of radiological or nuclear emergencies, or for a large-scale nuclear-power-type accident tha...

OBJECTIVES To provide a simple myomectomy technique for low-segment Hirschsprung disease and evaluate the efficacy of the new modification. DESIGN Case series of 19 patients followed up for 12 to 56 months (mean, 39.1 months). SETTING Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, Egypt. PARTICIPANTS Nineteen patients aged 4 months to 10 years complaining of chronic constipation, with radiological and...
