Animal model requirements for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) drug development. Animal Rule Information | FDA* The goal is to anticipate human safety and toxicity, as well as drug dosage, based on the findings of animal studies.* Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) medications are the ...
Who bears formal responsibility for the serious MRI accident at Sunderby Hospital in Luleå, Swedish Lapland? This complex question appears to lie at the heart of the investigation that's still going on, and the answer may well set a legal precedent, according to experts. The accident took place on 23 October, and it led to injuries to a specialist nurse, along with the mobile MRI scanner ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a frequently used diagnostic imaging modality that may be an alternative to other types of radiologic imaging (e.g., computerized tomography, nuclear medicine imaging). ...
IRSN – the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety – is the French national public expert in nuclear and radiological hazards. ...
In recent decades, there has been a growing awareness that nuclear law needs to address the question of the effects of ionising radiation on the environment and on nature. ...
The risk of thyroid cancer from reactor accidents has long been a salient factor in the analysis of nuclear reactor safety. This risk arises largely from the abundance of iodine-131 in the fission product inventory. ...
The most emotionally gripping topic of the debate over expansion of commercial nuclear power in the USA centres on the threat of radiological harm to the public from a commercial nuclear power plant accident. ...
Bearing in mind the emerging challenges for medical practices in radiology and nuclear medicine, on the one hand, and the implicit limitations of the direct regulation, on the other hand, we will argue that the law can stimulate self-organisation within the healthcare environment and induce the operators on the floor to self-reflective performance, in order to ...
As part of the Canadian national public survey of perceived chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism threat and preparedness, 1502 Canadians were recently interviewed by telephone. ...
This document describes data collection systems and procedures used by the US Department of Energy Aerial Measuring System (AMS) in response to a radiological emergency. The discussion is split into two parts: (1) those systems used on the fixed-wing aircraft and (2) those systems used on the helicopters. ...
Minimisation of the threat posed by nuclear and radiological terrorism and mitigation of its impact is one of the most important tasks for any state. Prevention of the diversion of nuclear and radioactive material is related to a number of measures, which include the physical protection of the nuclear industry, readiness for ...
This paper will discuss terrorism from the perspective of a terrorist organisation acquiring nuclear material to build weapons and how security of radiological material world wide will minimise the risk of such devices being used. It will discuss the need to improve security at nuclear waste processing and storage sites and the adequacy of ...
Out of the wealth of biological responses a few have been selected for discussion, namely, those which point to sensitive cellular reactions with possible consequences, or, those which might be promising in occupational medicine as indicators of a possible burden to persons, radiological or nuclear workers, and which might be used in the future as a routine ...
