What is buckminsterfullerene and what's it used for?
1. Used in Pertrochemical industries. 2. Used in hospitals for treating cancers.
Are are the uses of gold isotopes?
The isotope 198Au is used as irradiation source for treating cancers.
How is radium treatment administered?
Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers, because radium is radioactive and emit gamma rays (also alpha and beta particles).
What cancers were treated by polonium and radium?
Polonium is not used for the treatment of cancers. Radium is used to treat bone cancers.
Why are gamma rays and not alpha or beta used in treating cancer?
Higher energy and thus penetrate tissue better and kill malignant cells within the body.
Explain why beta radiation can be used in treating skin cancer but not cancer inside the body?
Beta radiation isn't used for cancer inside the body because it doesn't have the penetrative ability of Gamma radiation. Gamma cannot be used for skin cancer because it would kill too many healthy cells.
What are the plants that are endangered?
There are about 1,500 endangered species of plants in India including a herb YEW used for treating some cancers under serious threat of over explotation some grasses and tress like Mahua
Beta-2 microglobulin what is too high?
The normal value of beta-2 microglobulin is less than 2 mg/L. The test is used as a tumor marker for some blood cell cancers. Some severe infections, viral infections, inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune disorders can elevate this level.
Why are radioactive isotopes that emit gamma rays useful for treating some forms of cancer?
Radioactivity is indeed used to treat some types of cancer. Electron beams are used for surface cancers due to their lower energy. Proton beams and neutron beams are used to treat other hard to reach cancers. Carbon ion radiation is also sometimes used.
Is diazepam used for epilepsy?
It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.
how does element Californium treat cancers?
Californium is used to treat some cancers by neutron irradiation.
Why is nuclear radiation useful?
I'm not sure this is really a meaningful question. It's a source of gamma rays, so if you need those, there you go. It also produces alpha and beta rays (depending on the exact nuclear decay involved), so again, if you need those, extremely useful.
