The paper describes a system and experimental procedure that use integrating passive detectors, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), for the measurement of ultra-low-level ambient dose equival...

Cancer patients have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality than the general population. Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening offers an opportunity for simult...

Breakthrough study finds single dose of psychedelics significantly reduced depression symptoms in clinical trial, with effects lasting up to six months.

Monte Carlo calculations using the codes PENELOPE and GEANT4 have been performed to characterize the dosimetric properties of monoenergetic photon point sources in water. The dose rate in water has be...

Monte Carlo simulation with PENELOPE (v.~2003) is applied to calculate Leksell Gamma Knife$^{\circledR}$ dose distributions for heterogeneous phantoms. The usual spherical water phantom is modified wi...

In interventional cardiology (IC) the radiation dose variation is very significant, and its estimation has been difficult due to the complexity of the treatments. In order to tackle this problem, the ...

Purpose: To develop and compare normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models for recurrent brain metastases (BMs) treated with repeat single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), consideri...

Results of systematic measurements of Sr-90 activity concentrations in milk for the period 1961 - 2001 are summarized. An exponential decline of radioactivity followed the moratorium on atmospheric nu...

So, after an incredibly stressful September, my skin exploded again. I've been dealing with a small patch of perioral dermatitis since March, and I decided it was time to visit the dermatologist to ad...

Zepbound® (tirzepatide) comes in multiple dosage forms including the Zepbound® single-dose Pen, single-dose Vial, and single-patient-use KwikPen® (4 doses per KwikPen). Learn about dosing …

Zepbound® (tirzepatide) is available in a single-dose pen, single-dose vial, and single-patient-use KwikPen® (4 doses per KwikPen) for adults with obesity. Learn about dosing, how to inject, and mor...

Eye lens dosimetry has been an important field of research in the last decade. Dose measurements with a prototype of an active personal eye lens dosemeter based on the Dosepix detector are presented. ...

Novel dose-finding designs, using estimation to assign the best estimated maximum- tolerated-dose (MTD) at each point in the experiment, most commonly via Bayesian techniques, have recently entered la...
