Intercomparison of Retrospective Radon Detectors
Authors: R. William Field, Daniel J. Steck, Mary Ann Parkhurst, Judy A. Mahaffey, Michael C. R. Alavanja
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1999)

We performed both a laboratory and a field intercomparison of two novel glass-based retrospective radon detectors previously used in major radon case-control studies performed in Missouri and Iowa. The new detectors estimate retrospective residential radon exposure from the accumulation of a long-lived radon decay product, (210)Pb, in glass. The detectors use track registration material in direct contact with glass surfaces to measure the alpha-emission of a (210)Pb-decay product, (210)Po. The detector's track density generation rate (tracks per square centimeter per hour) is proportional to the surface alpha-activity. In the absence of other strong sources of alpha-emission in the glass, the implanted surface alpha-activity should be proportional to the accumulated (210)Po, and hence to the cumulative radon gas exposure. The goals of the intercomparison were to a) perform collocated measurements using two different glass-based retrospective radon detectors in a controlled laboratory environment to compare their relative response to implanted polonium in the absence of environmental variation, b) perform collocated measurements using two different retrospective radon progeny detectors in a variety of residential settings to compare their detection of glass-implanted polonium activities, and c) examine the correlation between track density rates and contemporary radon gas concentrations. The laboratory results suggested that the materials and methods used by the studies produced similar track densities in detectors exposed to the same implanted (210)Po activity. The field phase of the intercomparison found excellent agreement between the track density rates for the two types of retrospective detectors. The correlation between the track density rates and direct contemporary radon concentration measurements was relatively high, considering that no adjustments were performed to account for either the residential depositional environment or glass surface type. Preliminary comparisons of the models used to translate track rate densities to average long-term radon concentrations differ between the two studies. Further calibration of the retrospective detectors' models for interpretation of track rate density may allow the pooling of studies that use glass-based retrospective radon detectors to determine historic residential radon exposures.

Observations of the Achilles reflex test
Authors: R. F. Reinfrank
Journal: JAMA (1967)

A variety of physiologic, metabolic, and pathologic states influence the duration of the ankle reflex response as measured by simple photoelectric devices. Youth and hyperthyroidism are associated with shorter measurements. Aging, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and the puerperium are associated with prolongations of the measurements. The clinical usefulness and application of ankle reflex measurement will be limited if such measurements are regarded as exclusively related to thyroid function.

"Healthy Industry"
Authors: J. Tarsh
Journal: BMJ (1945)

Background/Aim: This comparative plan study examines a range of boost-radiation methods in adjuvant radiotherapy of breast cancer using helical intensity-modulated radiotherapy with TomoEdge-technique. Impact of hypofractionated radiation with simultaneous-integrated boost (SIB) and influence of differing assumed α/β-values were examined. Patients and Methods: For 10 patients with left-sided breast cancer each four helical IMRT-plans with TomoEdge-technique were created: hypofractionated+SIB (H-SIB) (42.4/54.4 Gy, 16 fractions), normofractionated+SIB (N-SIB) (50.4/64.4 Gy, 28 fractions), hypofractionated+sequential-boost (H-SB) (42.4 Gy/16 fractions+16 Gy/8 fractions), normofractionated+ sequential-boost (N-SB) (50.4 Gy/28 fractions+16 Gy/8 fractions). Equivalent doses (EQD<sub>2</sub>) to organs-at-risk (OAR) and irradiated mammary-gland were analysed for different assumed α/β-values. Results: The mean EQD<sub>2</sub> to OAR was significantly lower using hypofractionated radiation-techniques. H-SIB and H-SB were not significantly different. H-SIB and N-SIB conformed significantly better to the breast planning-target volume (PTV) and boost-volume (BV) than H-SB and N-SB. Regarding BV, mean EQD<sub>2</sub> was significantly higher for all α/β-values investigated when using H-SIB and N-SIB. Regarding PTV, there were no clinically relevant differences. Conclusion: Relating to dosimetry, H-SIB is effective compared to standard-boost-techniques.
Selective Angiography
Authors: Joseph E. Whitley
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Eight authors, either at or visiting UCLA, have produced a short text on angiography, "directing their remarks to the level of the second year radiology resident." Chapters are devoted to fundamentals, the abdominal viscera, the coronaries, head and neck, peripheral vascular system, the adrenal, renal homotransplants, and the kidney. In one of the best sections Drs. Rösch and Steckel present terse descriptions and precise illustrations of their technique, the normal angiographic anatomy, and the angiographic findings in the most common diseases of the abdominal viscera, as well as in many rare conditions. The section on renal arteriography is generally well done. It includes a brief general discussion of each entity discussed, its pathology, and its urographic as well as its arteriographic appearance. However, this 110-page section seems somehow excessive in view of the spartan type of presentation of the other chapters, particularly the compressed 27-page section covering the head and

ras Activation in Human Tumors and in Animal Model Systems
Authors: Montserrat Corominas, Steven R. Sloan, Javier Leon, Hideko Kamino, Elizabeth W. Newcomb, Angel Pellicer
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1991)

Environmental agents such as radiation and chemicals are known to cause genetic damage. Alterations in a limited set of cellular genes called proto-oncogenes lead to unregulated proliferation and differentiation. We have studied the role of the ras gene family in carcinogenesis using two different animal models. In one case, thymic lymphomas were induced in mice by either gamma or neutron radiation, and in the other, keratoacanthomas were induced in rabbit skin with dimethylbezanthracene. Human keratoacanthomas similar to the ones induced in rabbits were also analyzed. We found that different types of radiation such as gamma rays and neutrons, induced different point mutations in ras genes. A novel K-ras mutation in codon 146 has been found in thymic lymphomas induced by neutrons. Keratoacanthomas induced in rabbit skin by dimethylbenzanthracene show a high frequency of H-ras-activated genes carrying a mutation in codon 61. The same is observed in human keratoacanthomas, although mutations are in both the 12th and the 61st codons of the H-ras gene. H-ras activation is less frequent in human squamous cell carcinomas than in keratoacanthomas, suggesting that ras genes could play a role in vivo in differentiation as well as in proliferation.

COPD: counting the costs
Authors: E Thompson, P Walker, G Tack, H Crone, G Flatt, M Pearson, In Setting, P Huey, C Adams, Y Ahmed, D Mckeon, Ysbyty Gwynedd, R Stanbridge, S Elkin, A Suliman, A Chuckwuemeka, S Roberts
Journal: Thorax (2009)

Trusts have a mortality level in the highest quartile during both years, while in 17 Trusts mortality is in the lowest quartile during both years.When data are split into quartiles there are clues that support the findings of the 2008 National Audit which suggested that larger trusts had better organisation and lower mortality.Much COPD mortality is an inevitable consequence of the disease process, but the variability between Trusts suggests that 30day mortality after a COPD admission may represents a potential quality indicator of hospital delivery of care.
Direct-to-consumer advertising in oncology: A content analysis of print media
Authors: G. A. Abel, S. J. Lee, V. Viswanath, J. C. Weeks
Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2006)

6034 Background: Direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) is an increasingly prevalent and contentious medium of medical communication. Content analysis of cancer-related DTCA, with a focus on how benefit and risk/side effect information is presented, is essential to understanding its potential effect on oncology outcomes. Methods: We reviewed all product-specific DTCA for oncology-related medications appearing in the patient-focused cancer magazines CURE, Coping with Cancer, and MAMM: Women, Cancer and Community during 2005. We assessed the Flesch reading ease score (FRES), calculated with the formula [206.835 - (1.015 x average sentence length) - (84.6 x average syllables per word)], for the benefit and risk/side effect information presented in each advertisement. Ranging from 0 to 100, a FRES of 65 or higher is considered understandable for the average person. We also assessed the largest type size (in mm) and the placement (first, middle or final third of text) of benefits and risks/side effects, as well as the ads’ use of appeals to clinical trial data, cost, celebrity endorsement, physician endorsement, and implied patient testimonials (visual and written). Results: Of 75 ads reviewed, many were repeated, such that 15 unique ads were analyzed. The mean FRES for benefit information was 40.64, while the mean FRES for risks/side effects was 32.30, a difference of 8.34 [95% CI: 1.16, 15.52]. The mean largest benefit type size was 7.10 mm, while the mean largest risk/side effect type size was 2.33 mm, a difference of 4.77 mm [95% CI: 2.35, 7.17]. No ads mentioned cost, and none contained a celebrity or physician endorsement. 53% referenced clinical trials, and 60% offered an implied patient testimonial. In their first third of text, 93% presented benefits; 13% presented risks/side effects. In their final third of text, 27% presented benefits; 93% presented risks/side effects. Conclusion: Oncology print DTCA is difficult to read, as assessed by a standard readability measure. Moreover, compared to risks/side effects, benefits are presented in a larger typeface, earlier in the text, and in language that is modestly easier to read. Oncology providers should be aware of such differences, as they may influence patients’ perceptions of cancer-related medications. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

A Course of Lectures on Urine, Urinary Deposits, and Calculi
Authors: L. Beale
Journal: BMJ (1859)

CONSTITUEN-TS.[Conttinued from page 811.J Uric Acid and Urates are present in certain proportion in liealthy urine, but in disease a large increase is very frequently observed.The substances occur as urinarv deposits, either from existing in too large a proportion to be dissolved in the urine when cold, or, as is probably the case in the majority of instances, from the development of an acid in the urine, which causes them to be precipitated from their solutions.We shall consider the microscopical characters of these bodies under the head of urinary deposits.In many acute febrile diseases, the proportion of uric acid is increased, and the period of resolu- tion of inflammation is marked by diminished frequency of the pulse and respiration, by a fall in the temperature, by free perspiration, and by a very abundant deposit of urates.In
