John Jacob Livingood (March 7, 1903 – July 21, 1986) was an American nuclear physicist specialising in the design of particle accelerators. [1] [2] With Glenn Seaborg he discovered and characterized a number of new radioisotopes useful for nuclear medicine, including cobalt-60, iodine-131 and iron-59. [3] [4] [5]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Science Citation Index, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Current Contents/Life Sciences, BIOSIS Previews, [2] and MEDLINE/PubMed. [3] According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 10.057, ranking it 3rd out of 134 journals in the category "Radiology, Nuclear ...
Nuclear medicine gained public recognition as a potential specialty when on May 11, 1946, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) by Massachusetts General Hospital's Dr. Saul Hertz and Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Dr. Arthur Roberts, described the successful use of treating Graves' Disease with ...
The experience of the Lawrence Brothers in nuclear medicine became crucial in saving their mother, when she was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 1937. When they were told at Mayo Clinic that she had three months left to live, John Lawrence brought her to be treated by radiologist Dr. Robert S. Stone, one of his collaborators.
But how these nuclear electrons could be trapped in the nucleus, was a mystery. In 1932, Rutherford's theory of neutrons was proved by his associate James Chadwick , who recognised neutrons immediately when they were produced by other scientists and later himself, in bombarding beryllium with alpha particles.
During his lifetime, Seaborg is said to have been the author or co-author of numerous books and 500 scientific journal articles, many of them brief reports on fast-breaking discoveries in nuclear science while other subjects, most notably the actinide concept, represented major theoretical contributions in the history of science.
Early in his career, he was a pioneer in nuclear medicine and discovered isotopes of elements with important applications in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including iodine-131, which is used in the treatment of thyroid disease.
Stewart was head of the department of preventive medicine of Oxford University, responsible for a pioneering study on the effects of low-level radiation in England. Stewart had discovered that a small amount [quantify] of radiation to an unborn child could double the child's chances for leukemia and cancer.
