The Environmental Protection Agency recommends reverse osmosis water treatment to remove radioactive isotopes that emit beta-particle radiation. But iodine-131, a beta emitter, is typically present in ...

Effect of Single-Agent Rituximab Given at the Standard Schedule or As Prolonged Treatment in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma: A Study of the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) From ...

For nearly 50 years, public concern and scientific debate have surrounded the program of above-ground nuclear weapons testing that the United States conducted in Nevada during the period 1951 to 1962.

A new treatment involving a gel-like substance and radioactive iodine-131 eliminated pancreatic tumors in 75% of mice. The corresponding study was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering. "We did a ...

Forty percent of patients with triple-refractory multiple myeloma achieved a response after receiving 60 millicurie (a unit of radioactivity) or greater of CLR 131. Updated results from a phase 2 ...

A strong, consistent association between childhood irradiation and subsequent thyroid cancer provides an excellent model for studying radiation carcinogenesis. We recently identified 11 genes with ...

Radiation monitoring stations across northern Europe have detected above normal—but still safe—levels of radioactivity. One of the radioactive isotopes detected, Iodine 131, is generated by nuclear ...
