Nurse Researchers Toil To Curb Spread Of Infectious Disease
Fighting infectious disease, the very heart of public health and the genesis of contemporary nursing, is about more than hand washing and immunizations. It"s about screening and early detection, identifying risk and protective factors, and educating clinicians, facilities and the public. But it all begins with research, like that underway by nurse researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing (JHUSON). Their work is more important now than it has been in nearly the past century. Infectious disease rates, stable since the 1918 influenza pandemic, have been on the rise since the mid-1980s. The battle against these illnesses from HIV/AIDS to MRSA and from STDs to resurgent tuberculosis (TB), and others has been escalating, and long before the recent emergence of the H1N1 influenza virus earlier this year.

Dose Measurement During Prostate Cancer Treatment

A new PTB measuring system offers the possibility of measuring the absorbed dose in the direct environment of the irradiated tumour During radiation therapy, the physicians try to keep the dose in the tumour as high as possible to destroy as many cancer cells as possible. To avoid the damaging of healthy tissue, it is becoming more and more important to check the exact amount of the dose. For this purpose, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has developed a measuring system in the case of which the amino acid "alanine", whose radiation transport properties resemble those of human tissue, is used as indicator. When alanine is irradiated, free radicals are formed, whose concentration is measured with the aid of electron spin resonance (ESR). This allows the absorbed dose to be derived. First investigations on a phantom and also on patients have shown that the method is well functioning. Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)
