Sentence examples for exposure of the normal from inspiring English sources

ELIOT dramatically reduces the radiation exposure of the normal tissues and, in particular, of the previously irradiated breast, avoiding a high total cumulative dose to the gland and to the soft tissues of the thoracic wall.

The development of modalities that enhance delivery of drugs to brain tumours will also increase the drug exposure of the normal brain tissue, and may place patients at risk for treatment-induced cognitive decline.

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT or radioembolisation [RE]) is a technique that targets multiple sites of disease within the liver as a form of brachytherapy delivering high doses of ionising radiation directly to the tumour whilst keeping radiation exposure of the normal liver to a tolerable dose [ 7, 8].

Ultrasound examinations and procedures carry different risks depending on the likelihood of exposure to the normal bacterial flora of patients (as discussed below), contact with body fluids and the degree of invasiveness of the US procedure.

That this form was effective suggests that the benefits of Se in reducing cancer risk can be achieved at levels of exposure within the normal range, a fact that mollifies the normal safety concerns attending supplementation/fortification efforts.

The selective exposure of surfaces normal to the most facile pathway for lithium-ion conduction is preferred, and the length of particles along the ionic diffusion direction should be decreased since it can enhance electrochemical performance by reducing transport path lengths as well as enhance the electrode/electrolyte contact [33].

Only one of these studies was performed in a high burden country although many of the studies in low burden countries recruited immigrants or HCWs who could be considered to have higher risk prior of TB exposure than the normal population.

Second and third levels of additional complexity are added, if the type and extent of such shifts depend on the length of exposure and on the time point of exposure relative to the normal differentiation track.

As we have noted, within the context of fetal ethanol exposure, the normal adaptive process of chemosensory plasticity may work to the disadvantage of the adolescent animal: enhancing the already age inherent probability of initial ethanol intake and continued choice behavior in adolescence.

Finally, it is possible that in a clinical setting, potential damage to normal tissue might be mitigated by brachytherapy in which radioactive 'seeds' are delivered locally to the tumour tissue, which would minimise the exposure of surrounding normal tissue to radiation.

To evaluate other factors possibly affecting radiation exposure of normal tissue, the variation in residence time of the radiopharmaceutical in the whole body was analysed.
