equivalent dose

The concept of equivalent dose was developed in the 1950s.

Equivalent doses are based on clinical experience but may vary between individuals.

The equivalent dose is then dependent upon the weighting factors above.

The validity of the banana equivalent dose concept has been challenged.

This allows calculation of the equivalent dose, which depends on distance and activity.

Why shouldn't they be tested in equivalent doses against drugs that already exist - and already work?

In the US, three different equivalent doses are typically reported:

An older unit for the equivalent dose is the rem, still often used in the United States.

The equivalent dose is the measure of the biological effect of radiation on human tissue.

The workers are exposed to an estimated equivalent dose of 2-6 Sv to the skin below their ankles.

The resultant equivalent dose is then gradually reduced.

To get the equivalent dose used in some animal studies, people would have to consume 2 grams of resveratrol (2,000 milligrams) or more a day.

If the equivalent dose is uniform throughout the organism, it will be equal to the effective dose.

Proponents of nuclear power sometimes refer to the banana equivalent dose of radiation to support their arguments.

Equivalent dose is primarily designed for estimation of stochastic risks from radiation exposures.

This dose is above the equivalent dose shown to have positive effects in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.

'It is an equivalent dose.

Opioid rotation may allow a lower equivalent dose, and because of this less side effects may be encountered to achieve the desired effect.

This figure is comparable to effective doses and whole-body equivalent doses, as they carry the same proportional risk.

Cumulative equivalent dose due to external whole-body exposure is normally reported to nuclear energy workers in regular dosimetry reports.

Due to the proportionally reduced flight time, the overall equivalent dose would normally be less than a conventional flight over the same distance.

The rem is the deprecated CGS unit of equivalent dose.

In most places within the city, the level of radiation does not exceed an equivalent dose of 1 μSv (one microsievert) per hour.

Rem (roentgen equivalent, man): a unit of equivalent dose.

Orphenadrine has approximately 58% of the anticholinergic potency of atropine at equivalent doses.
