  1. Absorbed dose

    Mergewith Equivalent dose date December 2008 Absorbed dose also known as total ionizing dose , TID is a measure of the energy deposited in a medium by ionizing radiation . It is equal to the energy deposited per unit mass of medium, which may be measured as joules per kilogram and represented by the equivalent SI unit, Gray unit gray Gy , or the U.S. customary unit, rad unit rad . Note that the absorbed dose is not a good indicator of the likely biological effect. 1 Gy of alpha particle alpha radiation would be much more biologically damaging than 1 Gy of photon radiation for example. Appropriate weighting factors can be applied reflecting the different relative biological effects to find the equivalent dose . The risk of stochastic effects due to radiation exposure can be quantified using the effective dose , which is a weighted average of the equivalent dose to each organ depending upon its radiosensitivity. When ionising radiation is used to treat cancer, the doctor will usually prescribe the radiotherapy treatment in Gy. When risk from ionising radiation is being discussed, a related SI unit for equivalent dose, the sievert , would be used.

Such drugs need only a low maintenance dose in order to keep the amount of the drug in the body at the appropriate level, but this also means that, without an initial higher dose, it would take a long time for the amount of the drug in the body to reach that level. Drugs which may be started with an initial loading dose include digoxin , teicoplanin , voriconazole and procainamide . Phenytoin for acute status epilepticus should also be given with an initial loading dose, co administered with a benzodiazepine , to immediately stabilize neuronal membranes and electrical activity during a seizure.

  1. Lethal dose

    Unreferenced date August 2009 A lethal dose LD is an indication of the lethality of a given substance or type of radiation . Because resistance varies from one individual to another, the lethal dose represents a dose usually recorded as dose per kilogram of subject body weight at which a given percentage of subjects will die. The most commonly used lethality indicator is the LD50 , a dose at which 50 of subjects will die. LD measurements are often used to describe the power of venoms in animals such as snakes . Animal based LD measurements are a commonly used technique in drug research, although many researchers are now shifting away from such methods. LD figures depend not only on the species of animal, but also on the mode of administration. For instance, a toxic substance inhaled or injected into the bloodstream may require a much smaller dosage than if the same substance is swallowed. LD values for humans are generally estimated by extrapolating results from testing on animals or on human cell culture s. One common form of extrapolation involves measuring LD on animals like mice or dogs, converting to dosage per kilogram of biomass, and extrapolating to human norms. While animal extrapolated LD values are correlated to lethality in humans, the degree of error is sometimes very large. The biology of test animals, while similar to that of humans in many respects, sometimes differs in important aspects. For instance, mouse tissue is approximately fifty times less responsive than human tissue to the venom of the Australasian funnel web spider Sydney funnelweb . The square cube law can also complicate the scaling relationships involved. The minimum number of animal that can ... result.

    Dose dumping is a phenomenon of drug metabolism in which environmental factors can cause the premature and exaggerated release of a medication drug . This can greatly increase the concentration of a drug in the body and thereby produce Adverse effect medicine adverse effects or even drug induced toxicity . ref http www.chestjournal.org cgi content abstract 87 6 758 Food induced dose dumping from a once a day theophylline product as a cause of theophylline toxicity , a landmark 1985 study on dose dumping observed when theophylline was taken with fatty meals. ref Dose dumping is most commonly seen in drugs taken by mouth and digested in the gastrointestinal tract . Around the same time patients take their medication, they can also ingest other substances like fatty meals or Ethanol alcohol that increase drug delivery .

  1. Dose (biochemistry)

    about a measure of medication or chemical exposure Dose disambiguation A dose is a quantity of something chemical , physical, or biological that may impact an organism biologically the greater the quantity, the larger the dose. In nutrition , the term is usually applied to how much of a specific nutrient is in a person s diet or in a particular food, meal, or dietary supplement . In medicine , the term is usually applied to the quantity of a drug or other agent administered for therapeutic purposes. In toxicology dose may refer to the amount of a harmful agent such as a poison , carcinogen , mutagen , or teratogen , to which an organism is exposed. Chemicals are the most common things for which doses are measured, but there are others, such as radiation exposure. For humans, most doses of micronutrients and medications are measured in milligrams mg , but some are measured in microgram s because of their potency. Nonmedicinal poisons span the measurement scale some poisons are so dangerous that a single microgram of it could be deadly, while other substances take much more. For example, even Water intoxication water is toxic when consumed in large enough quantities.

  1. Dose (magazine)

    Dose is a daily Canadian news website and former daily print magazine . Dose was a mixture of standalone features and coverage of daily news, sometimes from an irreverent perspective. Each daily issue had a theme, and the top margins of every page usually included trivia items related to the theme. History Dose magazine was launched on April 4, 2005, and was distributed in five major Canadian cities Toronto , Vancouver , Calgary , Edmonton , and Ottawa . Different news articles from the five cities are still featured on the website. The magazine hoped to earn revenue through advertising and selling mobile content via the website and was aimed at the lucrative demographic of 18 to 34 year olds. The website targets this market too. Dose was published by Noah Godfrey , son of CanWest board of directors member Paul Godfrey . The content team included editor in chief, Pema Hegan and creative director, Jaspal Riyait . The magazine was the product of Canwest Mediaworks Publications Inc. originally the Calgary Herald Group , which was in turn part of the same corporate conglomerate, Canwest , that publishes the National Post , among many other newspapers in Canada, including the Montreal Gazette and the Ottawa Citizen . Canwest also controls the Global Television Network in Canada. Known for its artistic covers, Dose magazine won design awards at Communication Arts , Society for News Design , Society of Illustrators and the Canadian National Magazine Awards . On May 17, 2006, Canwest discontinued publication of the print edition of Dose , but indicated that the magazine s online presence and selling of mobile content would continue. On July 14, 2010, Canwest completed the sale of its publishing division, which includes Dose, to the new company Postmedia Network . ref http www.marketingmag.ca ... www.dose.ca Dose Postmedia Category Canadian news magazines Category National newspapers published ...

  1. Dose fractionation

    Radiation poisoning Experiments in radiation biology have found that as the absorbed dose of radiation increases, the number of Cell biology cells which survive decreases. They have also found that if the radiation is fractionated into smaller Gray unit doses , with one or more rest periods in between, fewer cells cell death die . This is because of self repair mechanisms which repair the damage to DNA http users.rcn.com jkimball.ma.ultranet BiologyPages D DNArepair.html http www.benbest.com lifeext aging.html dna and other biomolecules such as proteins . These mechanisms can be over expressed in cancer cells, so caution should be used in using results for a cancer cell line to make predictions for healthy cells if the cancer cell line is known to be resistant to Cytotoxicity cytotoxic drugs such as cisplatin . The DNA repair DNA self repair processes in some organisms is exceptionally good for instance, the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can tolerate a 15  000  Gy 1.5  MRad dose. In the graph below, called a Cell survival curve , the dose vs. surviving fraction have been drawn for a hypothetical group of cells with and without a rest time for the cells to recover. Other than the recovery time partway through the irradiation, the cells would have been treated identically.
