Actinoid Series Elements (Actinides)

01/01/2023 - "As with any medical treatment, the decision to excise a wound contaminated with actinides is a risk-benefit analysis. "
09/01/2019 - "Findings from this work will contribute to improve the understanding and interpretation of wound contamination cases with different physicochemical forms and mixtures of actinides including Am."
12/01/2011 - "Sensitivities of around 1 µSv, for fission and activation products in the whole body and around 1 mSv, for actinides in wounds, were achieved using single large collimated, but otherwise unshielded, detectors."
11/01/1997 - "Consequently, it is important that lung monitoring programs for occupational workers handling actinides are conducted with this caution in mind and that due consideration is given even in cases of minor cuts/wounds in order to rule out substantial overestimation of internal radiation doses."
07/01/1993 - "This was attributed to the greater retention of these actinides at the wound site (97 versus 67%) when treatment commenced. "

06/01/1985 - "A comparison of RBE values form a previous study in this mouse strain and the value for 243,244Cm from this study suggests that the trivalent actinides 241Am, 243,244Cm, and 249Cf are about three times less effective for bone sarcoma induction than 239Pu."

12/07/1976 - "Deferrisiderophores are clinically useful in the treatment of acute and chronic iron poisoning but, on the other hand, they could constitute a natural hazard by transporting actinides, such as 239Pu, through the food chain."

01/06/2023 - "Radiolanthanides and actinides are aptly suited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer via nuclear medicine because they possess unique chemical and physical properties (e.g., radioactive decay emissions). "
01/23/2020 - "When used in biomedicine, lanthanides and actinides are incorporated in compounds that show promising therapeutic and/or bioimaging properties, but lack robust strategies to target cancer and other pathologies. "
05/25/2022 - "Developing chelators that combine high affinity and selectivity for lanthanides and/or actinides is paramount for numerous industries, including rare earths mining, nuclear waste management, and cancer medicine. "
01/01/1997 - "These include skeletal deposition of radium and radiostrontium in bone volume; deposition on bone surfaces of plutonium and other actinides; liver deposition of actinides; induction of skeletal or liver malignancies by these radionuclides; induction of tooth and jaw abnormalities; mammary cancer induction by radium in humans and in the beagle; depression of circulating cells in blood; and induction of bone fractures. "

10/01/1995 - "Deposits of actinides in bone should be minimized because development of osteosarcoma appears to be related to internal exposure. "
03/01/1993 - "Deposition of actinides in bone must be minimized because osteosarcoma appears to be the most likely pathological effect arising from systemic exposure. "
