Clinical Manifestations of Radiation Exposure

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information on this page is not intended to be used for a genuine medical emergency. If you believe you have radiation burns you must go immediately to your nearest hospital

It's important to note that radiation burn injuries are extremely rare and only occur from close contact with ionizing materials as an accident, or from cancer treatment. Prognosis really depends on the length of time of exposure, existing medical conditions and promptness of treatment. If a radiation burn is bad enough to progress to the necrosis stage, the patient is usually considered a terminal case of radiation poisoning and nothing more can be done to save them. For necrosis to occur with chronic exposure, repeated DNA damage is necessary leading to cellular breakdown and a complete loss of blood supply to the area. This is extremely rare; radiation burns are often severe enough to remove outer layers of skin quickly giving little time for necrosis to set in (and the patient dies). 

Nukestuff Visitors

I'd like to see where all my visitors come from. This map uses outwards-facing information that is stored by the internet browser you're using, which is also visible by every other website on the internet. If you're worried about this, just know that it's a lot like setting your Twitter or Facebook profile to public- you have to take active measures to define what privacy you'd like on your social accounts. For something as basic as a HTML guest map, you can simply use a VPN or a browser that has features that mask your outwards-facing information (that's your public IP, operating system and browser of choice, nothing like names or addresses or credit card information is stored there!) or a combination of both. I use Brave (a Chromium-based browser) and Private Internet Access, also known as PIA.

The original NUKESTUFF UK website officially closed in 2017, and was not renewed until July 2021. Retaining some of the original icons and artwork, we hope to rebuild our home Nukestuff with our new host.

Old stuff lies beyond this point

Blog Roll

 

This is not a particularly pleasant topic, but it's important to mention. If you're uncomfortable with reading about things relating to the events of September 11th 2001, then it's better for you to click off.

 

 I'm putting together a private memorial display because this year marks 25 years since the event that should never have happened, and hopefully never will again. I can't afford to, and don't have time to attend in person in New York City, but will at least be making a monetary contribution to the memorial charity that helps survivors and relatives.

 

Why am I buying models of planes? Particularly the planes involved in the attacks in which everyone on board died? I want to better remember what we lost- these planes had pilots and crew, they had people on board and people on the ground who knew someone in the planes. Emotional connections hold all these pieces together and it's extremely important that not one bit of this history is forgotten, even if it hurts deeply.

 

I will display these items in a respectful, meaningful way and hopefully have some of it built in the next few months as it's going to be very expensive and take up most of a room.
