Taylor Smith's career write-up discusses radiology. Radiologic technologists produce x-rays of the body to diagnose medical issues. They position patients and equipment, take x-rays, and develop films. Technologists work in hospitals and doctors' offices, standing for long periods. Training ranges from 1-4 years and leads to certification, which most employers require. Employment is expected to grow 15% by 2016 with an aging population needing more imaging. Median pay was $48,170 in 2006.

Establishing an effective radiation dose management program requires a change in organizational culture, as well as tools and collaboration. Elements such as imaging protocol harmonisation across the institution, data recording and analysis, patient education on radiation awareness, and a common set of expectations regarding departmental safety are key to success.
Measuring dose is just the beginning. How you use that data to create a structured, sustainable safety culture is where DoseWise excels.

The evidence for Prehospital Ultrasound: Luke ReganSMACC Conference
Luke Regan presents the emerging evidence for prehospital ultrasound and telehealth in his talk from the SMACC stage.
Luke has a personal interest in improving prehospital care. He lives in the north of Scotland. It is an austere and challenging environment, far from technology. Compounding this, it is underserviced and there is an absence of critical care with no critical in reach.
Unfortunately, the morbidity and mortality of the area does not match the spread of care. Therefore, it is one of the motivations for his research.
That being said, he is not alone in his desire for this research. Pre-hospital ultrasound topped the list of technology-based research priorities in pre-hospital critical care, as determined by a European research collaboration. This is in large part because much of what is done in pre-hospital care still exists in an evidence free zone.
Luke discusses the extended pre-hospital patient journey in his practice. This presents a challenge, but also an opportunity. If time zero is further back, testing a pre-hospital intervention becomes very achievable. There is precedent for this. Benefit of pre-hospital interventions have been highlighted by the relative benefit of stopping and performing roadside ECG in transit. This has allowed road crews to receive updated treatment advice based on that ECG.
This bundle of care is similar to what is possible with pre-hospital ultrasound. Currently, there is a very apparent practice creep when it comes to the use of ultrasound. This means there is an increase in the use of pre-hospital ultrasound around the world. However, it remains an evidence poor area.
Luke describes two studies conducted in Scotland looking to answer the big questions in pre-hospital point of care ultrasound (POCUS). Firstly, can it make a difference? Secondly, does it take too long? Finally, who should do it and how long does it take to train them? This is done in large studies, with lots of patients and inputs from a diverse meeting of minds.
Join Luke Regan as he discusses the evidence behind the application of pre-hospital ultrasound and telemedicine.

Quality Assurance in Radiotherapy. Web-based quality assurance; using medical web instrument to facilitate the education, collaboration and peer review, providing an environment in which clinical investigators can receive, share and analyse treatment planning digital data.
Curative lung radiotherapy has historically been hampered by inadequate imaging techniques. Conventional CT provides poor information regarding tumour shape, size and motion throughout the patient’s breathing cycle. Consequently lung radiotherapy techniques have been characterised by excessively large targets to ensure the actual tumour receives the intended treatment.

Evolving Role of Radiation Therapists & Concernment of Risk Management in Mod...Subrata Roy
Radiation therapists, also known as therapeutic radiographers, work with oncology teams in order to determine the best course of radiation treatment for patients. They work under the guidance of a radiation oncologist and play a pivotal role in the planning and execution of radiation treatments. With additional training and experience, a therapist can become a certified medical dosimetrist. A dosimetrist calculates the correct dose of radiation treating cancer patients. Other therapists advance to administrative positions or to management positions such as a chief therapist or education director.
Information is a central foundational component for all counseling activities. Maximizing student achievement requires the ability to keep up with trends and information that are important for students' success. Check out the California Community Colleges Centers of Excellence presentation designed for students that want more information about Medical Imaging careers.
Teleradiology is a branch of telemedicine in which telecommunication systems are used to transmit radiological images from one location to another. Interpretation of all noninvasive imaging studies, such as digitized x-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies, can be carried out in such a manner.
The first steps in teleradiology date back to 1929 when a medical image was transmitted via telegraph to a distant location

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
2. Nature of work Radiologic Technologist produce x-ray films (radiographs) of parts of the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems. They prepare patients for radiologic examinations by explaining the procedure, removing jewelry and other articles through which x rays cannot pass, and positioning patients so that the parts of the body can be appropriately radiographed. Radiographers position radiographic equipment at the correct angle and height over the appropriate area of a patient’s body. Using instruments similar to a measuring tape, they may measure the thickness of the section to be radiographed and set controls on the x-ray machine to produce radiographs of the appropriate density, detail, and contrast. They place the x-ray film under the part of the patient’s body to be examined and make the exposure. They then remove the film and develop it.
3. Working conditions Physical stamina is important because technologists are on their feet for long periods and may lift or turn disabled patients. Technologists work at diagnostic machines but also may perform some procedures at patients’ bedsides. Some travel to patients in large vans equipped with sophisticated diagnostic equipment. To prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation, radiologist surround the exposed area with radiation protection devices, such as lead shields, or limit the size of the x-ray beam. Most full-time radiologic technologists work about 40 hours a week. They can work evening, weekend, or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.
4. employment Radiologic technologists held about 196,000 jobs in 2006. More than 60 percent of all jobs were in hospitals. Most other jobs were in offices of physicians; medical and diagnostic laboratories, including diagnostic imaging centers; and outpatient care centers.
5. Training, qualification, & advancement Preparation for this profession is offered in hospitals, colleges and universities, and less frequently at vocational-technical institutes. Employers prefer to hire technologists with formal training. Formal training programs in radiography range in length from 1 to 4 years and lead to a certificate, an associate degree, or a bachelor’s degree. Two-year associate degree programs are most prevalent. To be eligible for certification, technologists generally must graduate from an accredited program and pass an examination. Many employers prefer to hire certified radiographers. To be recertified, radiographers must complete 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years. With experience and additional training, staff technologists may become specialists, performing CT scanning, MR, and angiography, a procedure during which blood vessels are x rayed to find clots. Technologists also may advance, with additional education and certification, to become a radiologist assistant.
6. Job outlook Employment of radiologic technologists is expected to increase by about 15 percent from 2006 to 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. As the population grows and ages, there will be an increasing demand for diagnostic imaging. Although health care providers are enthusiastic about the clinical benefits of new technologies, the extent to which they are adopted depends largely on cost and reimbursement considerations. As technology advances many imaging modalities are becoming less expensive and their adoption is becoming more widespread.
7. Earnings Median annual earnings of radiologic technologists were $48,170 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $39,840 and $57,940. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,750, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $68,920.
8. Related occupations Radiologic technologists operate sophisticated equipment to help physicians, dentists, and other health practitioners diagnose and treat patients. Workers in related occupations include cardiovascular technologists and technicians, clinical laboratory technologists and technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, nuclear medicine technologists, radiation therapists, and respiratory therapists.
