Abstract

A broadly established therapy is radioactive iodine-131 for patients with hyperthyroidism (1). The radioactive iodine-131 dose is given to the patient as a single dose, which leads to a high radiation exposure surrounding the patient’s location for several days, depending on the amount of the received radiation dose, patient’s isolation in a special room is necessary for a period of time until the amount of radiation exposure decreases to an acceptable limits according to the National regulations. This study aimed to obtain a measurable estimation to the amount of radiation exposure resulting from patients treated with iodine-131 and assessment of compliance of patients and their family members to radiation safety instructions (RSI). In this study, (35) Iraqi patients with hyperthyroidism (15 male and 20 female) divided in to three groups according to 131I doses received that ranging from 3.7 to 7.4 GBq (100-200 mCi), the radiation dose rate was measured at different levels of the patient’s body as well as at different periods after receiving the I-131 treatment dose. Results shows that the external dose rates decrease rapidly and as a result, the greater amount of radioactive iodine is disposed of in the urine in the first two days after therapy. Also there is no observed differences appears in the average radiation dose rate (µSv/hr) resulting from patients after giving the dose of iodine-131 between males and females within the same group, while a significant difference was observed in the average dose rate between the divided groups, especially after an hour of giving the dose. Conclusion this study provide an estimation to the amount of radiation exposure resulting from patients for three days post 131I therapy on outpatient basis, also these results enables us to obtain a database that can be used in determining the amount of radiation reflected from patient to family members and contacts. Oral and written radiation safety instructions (RSI) are given in an appropriate way to patients and family members before patient’s discharge.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to reduce the number of peroxide in two frying oil samples (Aldura and altusan) by using one of the natural antioxidants which is vitamin E. one of the chemical specifications that assess the oil is the peroxide number, which is the amount of free radicals formed in the oil and the number of peroxides increases during exposure to heat, moisture, oxygen, bad storage conditions, light or other conditions. These peroxides have a harmful effect on the consumer health (initiation cancer). The vitamin E had a clear impact on the peroxide value, as when conducting the experiment and using oil to fry potato slices, the number of peroxide was high before adding vitamin E which score (Peroxide number is 5.6 for 15 minutes, 9.8 for 30 minutes, and 11.6 for 45 minutes). After using vitamin E in amount of 10 microgram per 100 ml of oil, the effect was clear of vitamin E on the number of peroxide as it decreased significantly. Which scored (5 for 15 minutes, 8.1 for 30 minutes, 8.9 for 45 minutes). When vitamin E added by 20 microgram the result was (4.8 for 15 minutes, 5.5 for 30 minutes, 6.5 for 45 minutes). 50 microgram per 100 oil shown to have no significant effect on the peroxide value. it was found that the best concentration is 20 microgram for a sample of 100 ml of oil.

Abstract

Physiology is an important science that is taught at the Technical Medical Institute, where it is taught in most sections and branches, and to know the extent of the student’s understanding and mental abilities by the use of modern technology, and learning may be an immediate or simultaneous learning in the classroom or outside. E-learning is characterized by ease and modification of information provided and increases the possibility of communication to exchange views, experiences and perspectives between students and teachers and overcome the problem of the number of students with narrow classrooms. It is also successful for the “traditional education” that exists at the institute, where it constitutes the collective presence of students and promotes joint work among them. The present research aims to identify the effect of using an e-learning by teaching physiology in the academic achievement of the students of the Technical Medical Institute. They were divided into two groups, the first experimental and the second by twenty students for each group, one of the experimental group that studied e-learning method and the second control, which studied by lecture method.
