Give an example of Stochastic Effects
Cancer, heritable effects
A combination of symptoms resulting from a single cause and occurring together so as to constitute a single clinical procedure
A Syndrome
Effects in which the severity of the effect varies with dose. A threshold does exist, and may vary from person to person
Deterministic effects
Acute whole-body doses of 200-1000 rads produce this hard-to-spell-and-pronounce syndrome
Hematopoietic Syndrome
Exposure to a low dose over a relatively long period of time.
Chronic radiation
Acute whole-body exposures from 1,000-5,000 rads produces which syndrome
Gastrointestinal Syndrome
What concept is defined as the dose of radiation expected to cause death within 30 days to 50% of those exposed without medical treatment?
LD 50/30
This syndrome is produced by acute whole-body exposures above 5,000 rads
Central Nervous System Syndrome
What is the actual range or dose associated with LD 50/30?
300-500 rads or 450 rads
What is the first set of symptoms that occur following a sufficiently large acute dose?
Prodromal
