Download or read book Fast Neutrons and High-LET Particles in Cancer Therapy written by Rita Engenhart-Cabillic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast neutron therapy was introduced in London in 1970. The book gives an overview of the developments of the past 28 years, assesses the results of fast neutron treatment, and reviews the compiled clinical data worldwide. The authors describe the radiobiological profile of the neutron beams and evaluate the neutron RBE for secondary cancer induction, they introduce heavy-ion therapy, which combines high physical selectivity with the biological advantages of high-LET radiation for some tumor types, and finally they describe the very recent developments in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT).

This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.

Download or read book Terrestrial Space Radiation and Its Biological Effects written by Percival D. McCormack and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 845 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on the proceedings of an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held October 1987 in Corfu, Greece. The Institute received financial support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S.A. Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, U.S.A. Department of Energy, U.S.A. Deutsche Forschungs-und Versuchanstalt fur Luft und Raumfahrt e.v., Kaln, Germany The advent of the shuttle era is providing fresh impetus for large space ventures such as communication centers, solar power stations, astronomical observatories, orbiting factories, and space based radar. Such ventures will rely heavily on an extensive and prolonged human presence in space doing in-orbit construction, maintenance, and opera tion. Among the advantages of location in space are the near zero gravity environment, commanding location, and the reception of solar energy and astronomical signals unattenuated by the atmosphere. Central to long-term manned space missions are the problems associated with the effects of exposure to ionizing radiations on humans. Manned space mis sions in the past have encountered relatively benign radiation environ ments because of their very short duration and orbit configuration. However, crew stay time of up to a year has been recently achieved by the Soviet space program; and Mars missions lasting several years are under serious consideration.

Book Synopsis Status of the Dosimetry for the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (DS86) by : National Research Council
Download or read book Status of the Dosimetry for the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (DS86) written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Dosimetry for the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) was set up more than a decade ago at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy. It was charged with monitoring work and experimental results related to the Dosimetry System 1986 (DS86) used by RERF to reconstruct the radiation doses to the survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the time it was established, DS86 was believed to be the best available dosimetric system for RERF, but questions have persisted about some features, especially the estimates of neutrons resulting from the Hiroshima bomb. This book describes the current situation, the gamma-ray dosimetry, and such dosimetry issues as thermal-neutron discrepancies between measurement and calculation at various distances in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It recommends approaches to bring those issues to closure and sets the stage for the recently convened U.S. and Japan Working Groups that will develop a new dosimetry for RERF. The book outlines the changes relating to DS86 in the past 15 years, such as improved numbers that go into, and are part of, more sophisticated calculations for determining the radiations from bombs that reach certain distances in air, and encourages incorporation of the changes into a revised dosimetry system.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few years the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) has undertaken a broad review of the sources and effects of ionizing radiation. Nine scientific annexes on particular subjects were issued in the UNSCEAR 1993 Report. Two further annexes have been completed, and these comprise the UNSCEAR 1994 Report. In this report the Committee summarizes the main conclusions of the two scientific annexes "Epidemiological studies of radiation carcinogenesis" and "Adaptive responses to radiation in cells and organisms." In addition, the Committee is reviewing the effects of radiation on the natural environment.

This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new, much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors, the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality, recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes, and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure, and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.

Book Synopsis Radiation-induced Cancer from Low-dose Exposure by : John W. Gofman
Download or read book Radiation-induced Cancer from Low-dose Exposure written by John W. Gofman and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewed in New England Journal of Medicine, February 14, 1991: "Strongly recommended ... excellent." This book provides proof that even at the lowest possible doses & dose-rates, exposure to ionizing radiation is carcinogenic, contrary to speculation that "repair" may provide a threshold. Additionally, in an open, checkable, step-by-step analysis from raw data to conclusion, Gofman shows that risk per dose-unit is much higher than the radiation community's 1990 estimates, & that ionizing radiation may be the most important single carcinogen to which vast numbers of humans are actually exposed -- medically, environmentally, occupationally. Gofman also includes chapters on Chernobyl-induced cancers, radio-iodine-induced thyroid cancer, latency & hormesis. Gofman is a Ph.D. nuclear chemist (1943), & a physician with an illustrious track-record of discovery, careful analysis, & correct forecasting in health research. His new findings in "Radiation-Induced Cancer" are essential input for policies toward cancer prevention, radioactive waste handling, nuclear power revival, "safe-dose" assumptions regarding radiation or other mutagens, conflict of interest in research, & the problem of retroactively altered databases. Reviewed in Choice, January 1991: "Thought-provoking...an important addition to the debate on the health effects of low-dose radiation."
