Uses of nuclear materials in medicine

The medical sub domain that makes use of nuclear materials in order to treat or diagnose a number of diseases is called nuclear medicine. The diseases treated and diagnosed with the use of such materials include different types of cancer, heart disease as well as other bodily abnormalities. Around one third of the patients admitted to hospitals are either diagnosed or treated using nuclear materials.

The diagnostic procedure in nuclear medicine involves the use of radioisotopes or radiotracers which are either injected into a vein, swallowed or inhaled as gas by the patient. If more neutrons are added to a chemical element and if this combination does not exist in nature, the atom becomes unstable and is called a radioactive isotope.

These nuclear materials (radiotracers) are designed to be attracted by certain types of tissue (such as bone or tumour). The radiotracer is therefore collected in a certain area of the body which the doctors wish to treat or analyze. The radiotracer consists of radioisotopes. As already mentioned, radioisotopes are obtained by changing the number of neutrons within certain chemical elements. If these isotopes do not exist in nature, the atoms become unstable. For this reason, radioisotopes emit positrons (due to their instability) in the form of electromagnetic radiation or gamma rays. The photons emitted are then collected by a gamma camera. This way, images are produced which reflect a certain state of an area of the body (such as a bone, the heart or the brain) where the radiotracers are located. This in turn gives information about certain features of the area to be analyzed and is used for example for detecting tumours. The nuclear materials used in this domain of medicine reflect the main difference between a regular X-ray and diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging. The other main difference is that they can also be used for soft tissue.

Nuclear materials are also used in medicine for therapeutic purposes. Like in the diagnostic procedure, radioactive materials are used to irradiate certain organs or cells and they are attracted by certain types of cells or tissue. The radioactive elements are attached to a biological compound leading only to the area to be treated. When they reach their location in the body, the radioisotopes emit radiation into their target cells and organs and destroy or weaken the diseased cells. The radiation can be used for cancer therapy, pain relief, or to reduce the function of certain organs.

The use of radioactive materials in medicine presents a small risk of the patients developing cancer. Any therapeutic or diagnosis procedure involving the use of such materials is regulated by governmental agencies which issue and regulate medical licenses for this practice. In practice, the amount of radiation is kept as low as possible, but varies according to the progression of the disease to be treated. The waste resulting from the use of radioisotopes in medicine (such as towels, clothing or tools) undergo decay storage for up to a few years. After this, they are considered to be radioactive waste.

Facebook’s Zuckerberg pledges to give away wealth

Another 17 of America’s richest people, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, junk bond pioneer Michael Milken and AOL co-founder Steve Case, have promised to give away most of their wealth.
At 26, Zuckerberg has put himself on the map not only as one of the world’s youngest billionaires, but also as a prominent newcomer to the world of philanthropy.

 Earlier this year, he pledged $100 million over five years to the Newark, New Jersey school system. Now, he’s in the company of media titans Carl Icahn, 74, Barry Diller, 68, and others who have joined Giving Pledge, an effort led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett to commit the country’s wealthiest people to step up their charitable donations.


The group has signed up 57 people and their families since launching the campaign in June. The list also includes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, CNN founder Ted Turner and film director George Lucas. But Zuckerberg and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz, 26, are the two youngest. ”People wait until late in their career to give back. But why wait when there is so much to be done?” Zuckerberg said in a statement. ”With a generation of younger folks who have thrived on the success of their companies, there is a big opportunity for many of us to give back earlier in our lifetime and see the impact of our philanthropic efforts.” Though the pledge is not a formal contract, those who make it are committing to give away at least half of their wealth to philanthropic causes either in their lifetime or after they die.

Zuckerberg’s commitment to the Newark school system was through his Startup: Education foundation, which he established as part of the donation. The $100 million will be given in the form of Facebook shares, which the foundation will be responsible for selling to raise cash. Zuckerberg owns about a quarter of Facebook’s shares, and Moskowitz owns a much smaller stake. Though the company’s shares aren’t publicly traded, they can be sold on private stock exchanges, something some of Facebook’s current and former employees have done. Shares on these markets are sold for as much as buyers will pay, but because the market is small and ”illiquid,” it doesn’t necessarily give a good idea value of the shares once the company goes public. As such, it’s difficult to estimate how much the shares are really worth, though there’s no doubt Facebook is worth quite a bit. On SharesPost, one of the markets where Facebook shares are traded, the company’s common stock recently had a completed contract between a buyer and a seller at $25, implying a valuation of nearly $57 billion or roughly $14 billion for the shares that Zuckerberg owns.

Facebook did not respond to a request to interview Zuckerberg about his pledge on Thursday, and there are not many details available about how the promises will work. By pushing the age for substantial charitable giving lower, Zuckerberg is challenging today’s generation of tech entrepreneurs to think not just about how they will make their next million or billion but how they will give it away. ”Younger donors think longer-term because they will be giving longer-term,” said Jason Franklin, a professor at New York University and the executive director of the nonprofit Bolder Giving, which encourages people from all walks of life to give big. ”Giving when you are older, you give so your children will have a better world. Giving when you are in your 20s, you give so you will have a better world.”

Can a person really write about his actual death ? YES !

You won't believe this but an 11 year old kid wrote the story of his own death two days back for his essay "An Accident".His death turned to be the same as he had written !

A couple of weeks ago in Pakistan an illegal race took place on the streets of Islamabad.
During the race a sports car, half way through the course got out of control and smashed into the crowd.
FIVE people died on the spot.

Those who lost their lives in the accident include Baber Ali (Askari Bank), Asfandyar Ali (15-year son of Baber), Sohail Khan and his son Danyal Khan and Mohsin Javed (son of Col Javed). Majid Naeem (senior auditor PTCL) survived unhurt from the tragedy.

The drag race festivity turned into a fatal tragedy when 11 years old child named Asfand Yar also died along with his father in the incident of said drag race held in Rawalpindi. It is told that he had written an essay in his English Paper on the subject “The Accident” just two days before his death. The said essay becomes the real story of his death as he died while watching a drag race along with his family. The matter has also been reported in sections of print media. The office moved a note to Chief Justice of Pakistan to intimate about the incident.

                                                The child who wrote of his own death !

The driver of the car escaped and no arrest has taken place till now.However the Chief Justice taking notice  passed the following orders:- “Stately, loss has been caused to the lives of five persons, including a child who along with his family members was present at the site and apparently so far no legal action has been initiated against the responsible persons thus above note be treated as Petition under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and fix it in Court on 13.12.2010)” .

How Long Does Gum Take To Digest?

You took a mint gum after eating just to freshen up a bit. Then on your way back up to the office in the elevator, you bump into your boss. And he decides to chat with you some business deals that the company was doing. You’re stuck in the elevator with your boss and with a gum in your mouth. How are you supposed to talk with your boss while chewing gum? You simply have to dispose of your gum – the hard way.

Almost everyone has experienced at some point in their life swallowing a gum. It may be for various reasons as to why you end up swallowing your gum. And right after you have swallowed your gum, you remember being told by your mother that gum will stick in your insides and will take seven years before it goes out of your body. This is one sticky situation that you would not want to be in.
However, it’s a good thing to know that gum won’t stick around your body for seven years. The stuff your mother tells you that it will take that long for gum to leave your body is actually, and thankfully, just a myth. If it’s not true, then how long does gum take to digest?
Gum is classified as indigestible, but that doesn’t mean that gum cannot pass through your digestive tract and out of your body.

Gum is composed of about 15% to 30% natural or synthetic gum base. And it is this gum base that enables the gum to withstand digestion that includes your saliva, stomach acid, and other digestive enzymes secreted by your pancreas and liver. The other components of gum, such as sugar, vegetable oil, artificial sweeteners and coloring, preservatives, and corn syrup, can be broken down by your stomach and intestines. It is the gum base that you have to dispel from your body afterwards.

So how long does it take before you can expel the gum from your body? This differs from every person. We have different metabolism speeds, so it takes different amounts of time for people to expel gum. A safe answer would be that gum takes just as much time as it takes for food to be expelled from the body.
How long does gum take to digest? It doesn’t get digested, well not fully at least. How long does gum take to be expelled from the body? It takes just as much time as it does for your food to be out of your body. But remember, this is no excuse for you keep swallowing your gum. Frequent and continuous swallowing of gum could actually lead to clogging your large intestine, one sticky ending that you wouldn’t want to have.

The Turtles

  
A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. the turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found a place ideal for them at last! 


For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed.  After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left. 


Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned.. Five years…six years… then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich. 


At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, ‘See! I knew you wouldn’t wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt.’

3 things you didn’t know about your eyes:

Our eyes truly are wonderful and without them our lives would be very much the duller. There are very few things that we do on a day to day basis that do not require our eyes and the same can be said about our hobbies. Whether you are looking a beautiful sunset or watching your child walk for the very first time your eyes are undoubtedly invaluable to us. This blog post is going to tell you a few things about your eyes that you are unlikely to have known and that may come as a surprise to you. So here goes with my top 3 things you didn’t know about your eyes:

1.       It takes our eyes until the age of 7 to fully develop: Right up until this age our eyes are still developing. This is the reason that lazy eyes can still be treated up until we reach this age. A lazy eye refers to an eye that even with the best possible glasses or contact lenses on cannot see as well as our good eye. So if you have a lazy eye and it is discovered when you are aged 5 years old there is still a chance that this eye can be strengthened as your eyes are still developing. This is done by patching over your good eye for controlled periods of time to make your bad eye stronger.

2.       We see with our brains not our eyes: Everyone assumes it is our eyes that are what we see with but in reality it is our brains that we ‘see’ with. Our eyes in effect collect all the raw material for seeing such as amount or light and contrast and then send all this information to the brain via our optic nerve. The brain then pieces all this information together and produces the image which we see.

3.       Our eyes develop based on our environment: Whilst our eyes are in the early development phase between being born and 3 years old they develop according to the environment they are living in. If for example a child was only exposed to straight lines and no curved lines they would not develop the ability to see curved lines. So if you showed them something with only curved lines such as a circle or ball they would have great difficulty seeing it!

Just remember how important your eye sight is and be sure to have regular eye tests to ensure they are in good health. If you have visual problems then laser eye surgery may be something you have considered. Just remember to fully research the laser eye surgery risks before you decide to have the treatment.

If anything happens to me, a 'deluge' of leaked docs will be published: Assange

The founder of WikiLeaks has warned that his supporters are primed to publish a 'deluge' of leaked government documents should his activities be curtailed by any country; where as his lawyer Mark Stephens says that the organisation held further secret material which it regarded as a "thermo-nuclear device" to be released if it needs to protect itself.

Julian Assange has distributed to fellow hackers an encrypted 'poison pill' of damaging secrets, thought to include details on BP and Guantanamo Bay. He believes the file is his 'insurance' in case he is killed, arrested or the whistleblowing website is removed permanently from the internet. Mark Stephens said Mr Assange would "certainly" fight deportation to Sweden on the grounds that it could lead to him being handed over to the US, where senior politicians have called for him to be executed.

He said that the WikiLeaks site which was last week forced to move to a Swiss host after being dumped by US internet companies had come under siege from "a huge number of cyber-attacks". WikiLeaks has been in the eye of a media and diplomatic storm since it started leaking US diplomatic cables from a collection of some 250,000 it had obtained, embarrassing and infuriating Washington. Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, who is believed to be in Britain, broke cover on Friday to say in an online chat that he had boosted security after receiving death threats.

WikiLeaks says 831 cables have been posted to its site so far. His lawyer Mark Stephens also warned that WikiLeaks had secret material in reserve, which he likened to a "thermo-nuclear device", to be released if it needed to protect itself.

Wikileaks Returns !

The whistleblower website Wikileaks was back on line Friday with a new Swiss address — wikileaks.ch — six hours after its previous domain name — wikileaks.org — was shut down.
“Wikileaks moves to Switzerland,” the group declared on Twitter, although an Internet trace of the new domain name suggested that the site itself is still hosted in Sweden and in France. Webusers accessing the wikileaks.ch address are directed to a page under the URL http://213.251.145.96/ — which gives them access to the former site, including a massive trove of leaked US diplomatic traffic.

The original wikileaks.org domain was taken offline at 0300 GMT Friday by its American domain name system provider, EveryDNS.net, following reports of massive cyber attacks on the site. “The interference at issue arises from the fact that wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks,”EveryDNS.net said in a statement.

Classic DDoS attacks occur when legions of “zombie” computers, normally machines infected with viruses, are commanded to simultaneously visit a website, overwhelming servers or knocking them offline completely. The latest technological setback for the whistleblower site came after Amazon booted it from its computer servers on Wednesday following pressure from US politicians, prompting the site to move to a French server. “Free speech in the land of the free — fine, our dollars are now spent to employ people in Europe,”
Wikileaks said. “If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the First Amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books.” On Sunday, Wikileaks began publishing the first batch of more than 250,000 US diplomatic cables, many of them classified as “secret”, that the website is believed to have obtained from a disaffected US soldier.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said last month that he was considering requesting asylum in Switzerland and basing the whistle-blowing website in the fiercely neutral Alpine country. “That is a real possibility,” Assange said when asked whether he and the website might relocate, adding that Switzerland, and perhaps Iceland, were the only Western countries that his outfit feels safe in. Assange told the TSR television that Wikileaks was examining the possibility of creating a foundation that would allow it to operate out of Switzerland, and confirmed he might apply for asylum.

Where To Tap - Knowledge !!!

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. 

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He  inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. 

Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away.

The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.   

 ”What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!” 
So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.” 


The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer …….. $              2.00
Knowing where to tap ………… $       9998.00 

Moral: Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.

10 GCSE REVISION TECHNIQUES

1. Motivation is the first and hardest step towards revising for GCSEs. Think ahead to life after the exams and how you will be feeling then. Remember that preparation and hard work will pay off giving you the results you deserve.

2. Plan your revision with a timetable made up of 40-60 minute sessions with a short break in between each one. Revising the same subject for hours at a time might sound like a good idea, but you retain the most information in the first hour, so keep each session focused.

3. Summarise the syllabus of each subject and as you complete a section tick it off or cross it out. Don't waste time learning unnecessary material that isn't on the syllabus or anything you have been told will not be in the exam.

4. Past exam papers are a good methodical way of analysing question and answer techniques from a real situation. Teachers will advise you as to how to use past papers in the most effective way as a revision aid and never assume that just because a question was in a previous year's paper that it won't crop up again the following year.

5. Revising with a group in structured after school sessions or even at home with a friend is a good confidence builder if you feel the pressure of GCSE revision overwhelming. It's easy to think that you are the only one who can't concentrate or hasn't done enough work but everyone is in the same situation and equally apprehensive.

6. GCSE subject revision books or CDs can be an excellent additional resource. Podcasts are also a great way of downloading what you need to learn in small manageable chunks and taking it with you on your mp3 player. For some people, an hour on the bus listening to a podcast can be more beneficial than reading through coursework for an afternoon.

7. Internet bite size websites have done most of the preparation work for you and present each subject in an easy to access form with just the right amount of information in each revision module.

8. Diagrams and revision cards are a traditional and effective way of making key points easier to remember and the use of acronyms, word association or mnemonics work well with these methods.

9. Keeping track of your progress makes it look and feel as though you are achieving something and working towards a goal. Draw up a comprehensive list and tick things off or cross them out when you are confident that each section has been revised sufficiently.

10. Set a target for each revision day and decide on a reward for yourself such as watching a film or meeting up with friends if you mange to achieve your goal. Keep things balanced and in perspective and remember that it is equally important to have some downtime to relax and enjoy yourself as well as putting in the hard work to revise for your GCSEs.

Passive smoking kills 600,000 people a year: Research

Around one in a hundred deaths worldwide is due to passive smoking, which kills an estimated 600,000 people a year, World Health Organization researchers revealed.

In the first study to assess the global impact of second-hand smoke, WHO experts found that children are more heavily exposed to second-hand smoke than any other age-group, and around 165,000 of them a year die because of it. The WHO researchers looked at data from 192 countries for their study.

To get comprehensive data from all 192, they had to go back to 2004. They used mathematical modeling to estimate deaths and the number of years lost of life in good health. Worldwide, 40 percent of children, 33 percent of non-smoking men and 35 percent non-smoking women were exposed to second-hand smoke in 2004, researchers found.

This exposure was estimated to have caused 379,000 deaths from heart disease, 165,000 from lower respiratory infections, 36,900 from asthma and 21,400 from lung cancer. For the full impact of smoking, these deaths should be added to the estimated 5.1 million deaths a year attributable to active tobacco use, the researchers said.

Harry Potter 7 Realeased ! But who cares...They ruined the essence didnt they ?

Harry potter 7 was realeased a few days back but the question remains why love it anymore
They're are several reasons i hate the movies
They ruined the sensation of the book
The old Dumbledore was much suitable and ideal for the film but i heard he died
Ok so they needed a new dumbledore
Fine !
But atleast they didn't have to make him so charismatic and enegetic
He should be portrayed as an old humble man not some power ranger  !
Next Harry Potter is supposed to have long hair
Not get his head shaved every two to three movies !
And if he does his hair should grow back
They just missed it !

One other horrible thing they did with the movie was that they started changing the location of shooting
One movie its in a vast lush plain
The next (Fire of goblet)
Its in a series of snowy peaks with deep valleys
I mean cant they keep still !
One other thing i loathe about the movies is that in the first and second movies they keep the hall snug and with plenty of light
In the rest of the movies i think they changed the lightning director....He made a mess out of that one
Moving on the atmosphere of the whole movie starts to become gloomy
The movie had many things which the book didnt have
and they're were many things in the books which the movies didn't have
I mean J.K Rowling should have had been the co-director or something

I understand you cant squeeze a six hundred paged novel into a two hour movie but come on
They missed some really good parts and the reality is that the movies have failed to deliver the essence of the book !
I am so sorry for them...I dont understand how J.K Rowling let them get away with it
I was one of those who read the entire series like mad since i was a kid
but I stopped watching harry Potter films since the goblet of fire ! Because of the above mentioned reasons
Maybe if i get the time I'll watch the rest but the trailers ain't up to my mark or at least up to mark of the book.
Then I'll tell you all about it...
If you don't agree make me right by giving comments below !

BRAINS are all you need !

 

An old man lived alone in small village in India . He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man sent a telegram to his son and mentioned his situation.

 

Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate of doing the garden work due to my old age, moreover your mother is no more, or else we used to do it together .

I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.  If you were here, all my troubles would have been over.

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

“For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! The Guns MAY be buried there !!!!”

   

With love 

Son

The next morning, A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. 

Confused, the old man sent another telegram to his son telling him what is this, why you did this nasty things and police came and asked me so many questions, and they dug all the field and went but didn’t find any Guns which you mentioned,

His son’s reply was:

“Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you from here.”

International Day for Tolerance

Oh we missed the day ! The International Day for Tolerance was observed on (Nov 16). The International Day for Tolerance is an annual observance declared by UNESCO in 1995 to generate public awareness of the dangers of intolerance. It is observed on 16 November. At the initiative of UNESCO, 1995 was declared the UN Year for Tolerance, and it saw the launching of a world-wide campaign for tolerance and non-violence. The International Day for Tolerance grew out of the momentum of that Year. Building tolerance and trust in diverse communities is not done overnight, but takes time and commitment. Building tolerance requires access to education. Intolerance is often rooted in ignorance and fear: of the unknown, and of the "other", such as other cultures, religions and nations. Intolerance is also closely linked to an exaggerated sense of self-worth and pride: notions taught and learned at an early age. Therefore in the coming years, greater emphasis needs to be placed on educating children about tolerance, human rights and fundamental freedoms. But education does not end in school; adults -- firstly as individuals capable of committing acts of intolerance, but more importantly in their capacity as parents, law-makers and law-enforcement officials -- also need to be considered a priority target of our educational efforts. An International Day for Tolerance can serve as an annual occasion for tolerance education as well as for wider social and political reflection and debate on local and global problems of intolerance. It is a moment to take stock of the progress made during the year and to propose fresh policies to close remaining gaps.

Awesome Joke =D

John and David were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, John suddenly dove into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom and stayed there.

David promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom of the pool and pulled John out. The Medical Director came to know of David’s heroic act. He immediately ordered that David be discharged from the mental hospital as he considered him to be okay.

The doctor told David, “We have good news and bad news for you, David! The good news is that we are going to discharge you because you have regained your senses. Since you were able to jump in and save another patient you must be mentally stable. The bad news is that the patient whom you saved, Mr. John, hung himself in the bathroom, and died”.

David replied, “Doctor he didn’t hang himself, I hung him there to dry”.
