The radiation dose to the population of the United States of America from medical radiation is now almost equal to that of background radiation best antibiotic for uti least side effects generic 750mg keflex visa, and increased more than seven times in the 25 years from the early 1980s to 2006 bacteria 4 urinalysis keflex 500mg otc. There has been an inexorable rise in the range and numbers of minimally invasive interventional techniques being performed using fluoroscopy antibiotic resistance spread vertically by buy generic keflex on line, and these techniques have offered enormous benefits to many patients who otherwise may not be candidates for more invasive surgery. The range of radionuclides that can be used in medicine has also increased and the types of specific radiotherapy have become more complex. Despite these huge benefits, health professionals have to accept that some procedures deliver high radiation doses to patients. Radiation injuries, in interventional radiology and cardiology, and accidental exposures in radiotherapy are fortunately not common compared to the number of procedures or treatments performed, but were increasingly reported in the 1990s and 2000s. It is now 11 years since the International Conference on the Radiological Protection of Patients in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy was held in March 2001, in Malaga, Spain. This landmark conference is now often referred to simply as the ‘Malaga conference’ among radiological protection professionals, which is a reflection of the significance of the event. These included optimization with an emphasis on reducing doses and risks without compromising image quality or treatment effectiveness, recognition of high dose procedures, monitoring doses from multiple examinations, and the development of adequate infrastructures to support the safe use of ionizing radiation in medicine. The subsequent Action Plan addressed issues of education and training of health professionals; appropriate exchange of information, with wider dissemination of that related to protection of patients; and the provision of practice specific guidance documents in collaboration with professional bodies and international organizations. Many national and international organizations have worked on initiatives to improve patient safety. Guidance on the use of appropriate imaging investigations for a wide range of clinical problems have been produced to aid clinicians and to reduce the unnecessary irradiation of patients. A learning, no blame culture has been encouraged by the establishment of databases, e. Two campaigns in the United States of America have been established to raise awareness of radiation and to lower doses where possible. The Image 2 Gently campaign is an initiative of the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging aimed at lowering radiation dose in the imaging of children. Several subsequent publications have focused on providing guidance on specific topics, for example, Preventing Accidental Exposures from New External Beam Radiation Therapy Technologies [7], while others have been more general, for example, Radiological Protection in Medicine [8]. This training now needs to extend beyond those traditionally working in radiology departments as the number of non-radiological specialists using ionizing radiation is increasing, and this was addressed in Radiological Protection in Fluoroscopically Guided Procedures Performed outside the Imaging Department [10]. Working parties are reviewing areas of justification and reference levels for both diagnostic and interventional imaging. Technological developments in medicine continue at a great pace and it is a challenge to produce timely recommendations that deal with the associated radiological protection issues. In addition, there is an ongoing need to raise the awareness of radiological protection among the many health professionals who either use or request procedures involving ionizing radiation, often with little or no knowledge. Significant progress has been made in the radiological protection of patients since the Malaga conference. This has been due to the considerable efforts of individuals and many organizations. Despite the achievements, there is no place for complacency and it is the responsibility of all radiological protection and health care professionals to continue to make improvements that enhance patient safety. This forms part of a larger move to improve the system of benefit–risk assessment, which takes in three key steps: awareness, appropriateness and audit (the ‘three As’). Justification of medical exposures at three levels as identified by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (from Ref. Awareness of this assessment is frequently portrayed in the media as a cost issue but health professionals correctly see the bigger picture of good medical practice and radiation safety as the two main criteria for selection of the best test first, before cost effectiveness. The balance of health benefit against radiation risk in a justified medical procedure is almost invariably in favour of the benefit. Imaging referral guidelines have been available for over 20 years in Europe and have been advocated through a European Commission Directive [6]. Rapid developments in imaging technology and new advances in medical imaging required an update of the guidelines by the European Commission in 2003.
It is the combination of the mode of administration (smoking) and nicotine’s highly addictive properties (the W orld Health Organisation ranks nicotine as being more addictive than heroin antibiotic resistance prevention cheap keflex 750 mg overnight delivery, cocaine treatment for dogs eating grapes generic keflex 500 mg amex, alcohol quotation antibiotic resistance purchase keflex cheap online, cannabis and caffeine18) which impact on the number of dependent users. By inhaling, the smoker can get nicotine to the brain very rapidly with every puff. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over a period of five minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about one and a half packs (30 cigarettes) daily gets 300 ‘hits’ of nicotine to the brain each day. W ithin eight hours of stopping, oxygen in the blood increases to norm al levels and carbon m onoxide levels in the blood drop to norm al. Twenty-four hours after stopping, the risk of sudden heart attack decreases and by 48 hours, one’s sense of taste and sm ell begin to return to norm al. Long-term use will result in a staining of the teeth and possibly of the fingers and nails. Short Term Risks Although nicotine is highly toxic (like cyanide, if a sufficient amount is ingested, death can result in a few minutes from respiratory failure caused by paralysis23) there is a tendency to associate the health risks related to sm oking with long-term use. However, outside of the im m ediate im pact sm oking m ay have on a young person in term s of the sm ell of tobacco and the cost, there are short-term adverse health effects: y Increased risk of dependence – those who start smoking regularly when young tend to carry on smoking throughout their adult life, most … adults who smoke began during adolescence. Outside of these short-term health risks, adolescent tobacco use is “… often the first drug used by young people who use alcohol, marijuana and other drugs. Because your lungs You get bad breath grow at a slower rate and are three times and don’t work as more likely to be well, less oxygen gets out of breath than to your muscles. Your hands smell Your heart has to of stale cigarette work harder, it will smoke and your beat two to three fingers and nails times faster than can become stained someone who yellow. Throat Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Heart Disease and Bronchitis Long Terms Risks The increased risk of lung cancer is the risk predominantly associated with smoking. However, long-term exposure to nicotine increases the risk of: y Heart disease y Heart attack y Blood clots y Strokes y Bad circulation y Ulcers y Lung infection y Bronchitis y Emphysema y Cancers of the mouth and throat29 30 Drug Facts Equally, smoking impacts on both male and female fertility – decreased fertility is associated with women who smoke and wish to start a family and the risk of impotence is 50% higher in male smokers than in non-smokers. There is evidence of an increased risk of a prem ature birth, stillbirth and early death of the newborn baby where the m other sm okes m ore than five cigarettes a day and infants born to m others who sm oked throughout pregnancy also have a lower birth weight. For children, this increases the risks of asthm a and other respiratory illnesses and ‘glue’ or m iddle ear disease. Legal Status Health Act 2001 prohibits the sale of tobacco to young people under the age of eighteen years. Harm Reduction Approaches There are no ‘safe or safer’ tobacco products and given the adverse health effects of any tobacco product non-smoking is the only safer option. However, this over familiarity with alcohol poses in itself an enormous challenge for the promotion of healthier life-styles. Given the prevalence of alcohol use in Ireland, “83% of men and 74% of women reported alcohol consumption in the last month (and) … 40% of school-going young people reported never having had an alcoholic drink Alcoholic drinks can be divided into six different categories: beers, cider, table wines, fortified wines, distilled spirits and liqueurs. Ethanol is produced as a result of the ferm entation by yeasts of sugars from fruits, vegetables or grain34 and it is the difference in production m ethods and ingredients which brings about the different tastes and strengths. For exam ple, beer is produced by the ferm entation of brewer’s wort, with hops added for flavour. This results in an alcoholic drink which is approxim ately five parts ethanol to 100 parts water; as opposed to whiskey which is produced by the distillation of ferm ented barley, rye or corn m ash, which can contain as m uch as 50% ethanol. The following table35 presents the six different categories of drink, the types within each category, their alcohol content and exam ples of “standard drink” equivalents for each type. A standard drink equals 10gm s of pure alcohol and is the m easure sim ilar to “units” which is now used in the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ guidelines to sensible drinking. The upper recom m ended lim it per week is 21 standard drinks for adult m ales and 14 standard drinks for adult fem ales.
