  2. 1. Optically Stimulated Luminescence for Retrospective Radiation Dosimetry. The Use of Materials Close to Man in Emergency Situations

    Author : Therése Geber-Bergstrand; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : Retrospective dosimetry; Emergency dosimetry; OSL;

    Abstract : If an accident or attack involving radiological or nuclear material were to happen, people from the general public would be at risk of exposure to ionising radiation. Unlike people working with ionising radiation, for whom level of exposure to radiation is constantly monitored with dosemeters, people from the general population do not wear dosemeters; thus, the dose estimations for these individuals must be performed using alternative methods.

  4. 2. Household salt as an emergency radiation dosemeter for retrospective dose assessments using optically stimulated luminescence

    Author : Maria Christiansson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Optically stimulated luminescence OSL ; household salt; NaCl; retrospective dosimetry; accident dosimetry;

    Abstract : In the event of a radiation accident, it is crucial to make rapid estimates of the absorbed dose received by both emergency workers, so-called first responders, and members of the public. Today, only personnel in rescue teams responding to nuclear emergencies have access to individual dosemeters. READ MORE

  5. 3. Noise exposure, hearing protection and hearing loss. A long-term study at an automobile sheet-metal pressing plant

    Author : Pawel Brühl; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; noise zone; dosimetry; human; industry; Hearing conservation programme; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

    Abstract : The design and implementation of a hearing conservation programme in a heavy industry with high noise levels is described. Action was taken on several points, including noise measurements, noise reduction, education on hearing protector use, and audiometric monitoring. READ MORE

  6. 4. Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms : Aspects of tumour characteristics, receptor recycling and peptide mass

    Author : Ulrika Jahn; Anders Sundin; Mark Lubberink; Ulrike Garske-Román; Mona-Elisabeth Rootwelt-Revheim; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroendocrine tumors; Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy PRRT ; Peptide; Small-Intestinal; Pancreatic; Dosimetry; Somatostatin receptor;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) can arise in any part of the body, but most commonly in the lungs, bronchi, and the gastrointestinal tract including the pancreas. They combine neuroendocrine and tissue-of-origin-specific characteristics; explaining different symptoms depending on the organ of origin. READ MORE

  7. 5. Targeted radiotherapy in metastatic neuroendocrine tumours: clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Anna-Karin Elf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroendocrine tumour; peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; somatostatin receptor 2 expression; radiosensitization; radioembolization; diffusion weighted imaging;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) often present at a metastatic stage, which diminishes the possibility for curative surgery. Peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE targets somatostatin receptors, which are overexpressed on NET cells. PRRT results in symptom relief and often tumour control of NETs, but rarely cure. READ MORE
