Speech on X-Ray Speech on why X-rays should be taken Today our organization is going to talk look at some issues surrounding X-rays. Many people in our community for a long time have had misconception about x-rays. However, these misconception have not been true since various researches that have been done have proved otherwise. There are many complications that we experience in our daily life in terms of our health. Some of them can only be identified and solved through X-ray because of their ability to pass through human tissues. Yes, all of us knows that too much X-rays radiation in large quantity can be harmful therefore all the necessary precautions have been always put in place to make sure that this does not happen, as echoed by David Attwood (1999). rays are always part of the electromagnetic spectrum which also includes ultraviolet light, radio and infrared waves. Since they have a long wavelength as compared to light, they are able to pass human tissue. While the rays are used it is not possible to feel them, and they do not hurt in one way or the other. The modern X-rays machines that we current have are made in such a way that they use very small doses of X-rays and this is fairly safe for the patients. The process of X-ray is not that involving that any of you should fear. The process is very simple because once the X-rays pass through the patient they are then collected on a sensor which was film in the old days, but now it is a computer imaging sensor. They have the capability of showing a 'shadowgram,' the denser bits' which are like the bones, showing up to be lighter as compared to less dense soft tissues, like the soft palate. According to Mettler FA.,( 2005), the reasons behind it is due to the fact that X-rays can pass through the tissues more easily as compared to when they pass through the hard tissues, hence more tend to be collected on the sensor. When looking at an X-ray film or screen is like you are looking at a black and white photographic negative where the tonal values have been reversed while the black bits are white and vice versa. How safe are these X-rays? Most diagnostic investigations have shown that there are no adverse effects from irradiation. Of course, as research by Goldstone K, (2008) indicates there are various types of radiation effect, however the ones that can occur in diagnostic practice are only a few and their likelihood is very minimal. For instance, in a simple X-ray examination like in chest X-ray or X-ray of the abdomen, skull, arms, pelvic region, knees or shoulder, the amount of radiation received is always very low and is equivalent to an amount less than a year of radiation exposure from natural sources. Even though at this level of exposure we cannot rule out carcinogenic and genetic effects that has still remained theoretical possibility since no practical evidence has ever shown such effects from any human studies. For those who might be pregnant or suspect to be pregnant may tell their doctor prior to having the X-ray. However, that does not mean that the unborn baby will be at risk, no! It is just a precaution, but there is small risk of most diagnostic X-rays to an unborn baby. What we know is that any treatment must have its side effect, and also in X-ray, in some people, it is possible for injection of a contrast medium to cause side effects like: Nausea, a feeling of warmth or flushing, lightheadedness, a metallic taste in the mouth, hives, or itching. Let us stop worrying much when we are told to undergo X-rays because those who will carry out the process are our health professionals called radiographers. They have been particularly trained on how to use imaging technology likes X-ray machines, ultrasound scanners, and computerized tomography (CT) scanner. The machine they use in that process is very simple and should not leave you in fear. The machines have major parts such as X-ray tube, lead shielding, and a photographic plate. This x-ray tube is like a giant bulb that uses high voltage electricity in generating X-rays. The role of the lead shielding is to direct the X- rays towards that section of your body to examined and prevents their escape to all directions. While the photograph plate captures the produced image by the X-rays as they are passing through your body. To make the process more efficient and fast the X-ray machines is always connected to a computer to allow a digital image to be produced. Sometimes you may be required to undergo more than one X-ray from a different angle; this helps to provide as much information as possible. This will happens if your lungs are to be examined, they will need to take both the front and side of your body. You will be assisted by a radiologist, who are specialized doctors specialized to carry out examination and interpret medical images, to study your X-ray images. After which the findings can be discussed with you by the radiologist on that day, or the report may be sent to your GP. There are many infections that will call for an X-ray though most of us have been reluctant to attend the examination in fear of this type of examination, a fact that a research by Novelline, Robert (1997) confirms. Some of us who have not gone through this may wonder which parts of the body may require X-ray and what signs and symptoms they may have so that when they see such they should be prepared for an X-ray. X-rays for the chest will be done to identify: Breast cancer: where a special type of X-ray test known as mammography will be used in examining breast tissue. Lung infection or conditions: such as fractures and infections in bones and teeth. Blocked blood vessels: By injecting a contrast material containing iodine to assist in highlighting sections of your circulatory system to make them seen on X-rays. Enlarged heart: which the X-rays will show clearly when you have signs of congestive heart failure. X-rays in bones and teeth will be done to identify: Bone cancer: And will also reveal tumors in your bones Fractures and infections: In bones and teeth which the X-ray will show clearly. Dental decay: In which dentist check for any cavities in your teeth. Arthritis: done in joints to show its presence. Osteoporosis: Done by measuring the density of your bones X-rays done in abdomen is to identify: Swallowed items: Such as a key or a coin in locating them Digestive track: Using Barium, which is a contrast medium delivered in a drink, to reveal problems found in your digestive system. For example in the case of dental care and other areas, The American Academy of Oral Radiology, the U.S. Public Health Service the National Committee on Radiation Protection have confirm that there is no need for any patient to worry about an X-ray since there are modern machines as well as techniques. From the experiments done by Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry had shown that the amount of radiation that will reach the reproductive organs during a full examination of dental X-ray extremely small .In fact, they could not detect more than .00009 of one roentgen that would reach the region of the reproductive organs. And it will take 2,000 dental x-rays to produce damage to the reproductive organs, yet a full X-ray survey is made up of only 14-18 exposures. Therefore as an organization we are urging you that X-ray is a very simple and safe process that helps us improve our health by making it easy for us to find a solution to our health problems. In conclusion I want to tell you all that do not be worried and even be cheated that radiation exposure will definitely cause cell mutation leading to cancer. The amount of radiation you are always exposed to during x-ray tend to be very small that there are very little chances for it to damage cells in your body. Remember it is better you are cured than to remain sick. References David Attwood (1999). Soft X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation. Cambridge University Press, (1999).

Socorro!

Escojo este titular un tanto provocativo para ilustrar la entrada de hoy. Es también el titulo del libro de Lucy Raven, recién publicado por Mack, un libro fantástico hecho de radiografías (shadowgrams), hechas con una enorme caja negra construida expresamente para la ocasión. Copias únicas de gelatina de plata sacadas en un lugar de ensayos atómicos en Nuevo México. Ese lugar, llamado Socorro,…

#NewYearsDay #oracle #reading (Musical accompaniment: #auldlangsyne by #shadowgram) The first day of the new year has come to a close, and I thought tonight would be the perfect time to just consult the cards about what lessons I needed to focus on in the new year, and yet again, they're hitting me in the feels! When I pulled the #Decadence card from my Embroidered Graveyard deck, I was like, "#wtf does this have to do with lessons for the new year?" But then I started reading the explanation in the book, and it became clearer. This year will be about #enrichment, and yes, decadence - not monetary or in terms of consumerism (since that's something I want to try to move away from), but in terms of the nourishment I give myself, how I feed and nurture myself, mind, body, and soul. How I #LetGo, shedding the old me and letting the new me grow and flourish decadently. This tied in with a podcast from my #Wayfarers course again, in that it asks me what I could be, could do, could manifest if I just treated myself like I do my friends, if I did it from a space of ease, love and joy? What if I did ALL THE THINGS this way? It also ties in with the lyrics from Auld Lang Syne: "We'll take a cup of kindness yet..." So many poignant lessons to be learned this year. 🖤 #oraclecards #oraclereading #TheEmbroideredGraveyard https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5BtX2NGO6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We love a beautiful flower as much as anyone, and when we find out we can make delish tea with the flower, our love goes up a level! Hibiscus tea is so easy to make and is the perfect refreshing summer drink. It has loads of health benefits, listed here in an excerpt from @my_foodstory ’s blog “Hibiscus tea has been known to prevent hypertension, lower blood pressure, reduce blood sugar levels, keep your liver healthy, help with menstrual cramps, help with depression, aid digestion and help with weight management. It’s rich in Vitamin C, contains minerals such as flavonoids and has laxative properties. And it tastes delicious!” As with anything, be mindful of the effects and try slowly to start. But let’s be honest here, the hibiscus had our heart as soon as we saw this magic develop in front of our eyes! . . . . . . . . . . #cyanotype #sunprint #shadowgram #blueprint #threadsthatbindus #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #hibiscustea #hibiscusflower #workwithnature #modernartisan #lookatthedetail #circles #sacredgeometry #madewiththesunincapetown #summersunmeanssummerfun #lovezabuyza #lovelocalza #postedbythreadsthatbindus (at Threads that bind us) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs7cxjSASg-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n9qfzl6ghrml
