Summary 1: The first article discusses a study comparing biodosimetry and physical dosimetry techniques for estimating radiation dose in emergency situations. The study found that physical dosimetry using smartphone components can estimate high-energy (gamma ray) exposure well, but overestimates x-ray exposure.Summary 2: The second article presents a cross-sectional study of suicides in Australia, focusing on substances detected during postmortem toxicology analyses. The study found that psychotropic medications and potentially intoxicating medications/drugs were found at high rates in both poisoning- and non-poisoning-related suicides.Summary 3: The third article examines the administration of Centruroides (scorpion) antivenom and investigates the rate of serious adverse events when the antivenom is given as a slow intravenous push. The study found that the administration of antivenom via slow intravenous push (sIVP) was safe and effective when given by trained staff. [Extracted from the article] |
