Treatment limitation decision in delirium: a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study [PDF]

BMC Medical Ethics
Background Treatment limitation decision (TLD) is a complex process affected by comorbidities and cultural aspects. We hypothesized that presence of delirium is associated with TLD in hospitalized patients. Objective to compare the proportion of patients

The effects of heating rate on the dose response characteristics of TLD-200, TLD-300 and TLD-400

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2009
Abstract In the given study; the effects of heating rates on the dose response characteristics of CaF 2 :Dy (TLD-200), CaF 2 :Tm (TLD-300) and CaF 2 :Mn (TLD-400) crystals have been investigated using the dose dependence curve and dose response function f ( D ). It was observed from the dose response functions that the linearity and behaviour of the
