Background
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in Mexico and Western world. Symptoms in women are more subtle. Women usually feel general tiredness and lack of energy, in contrast to men having chest pain. This implies that women do not receive a timely and early diagnosis. According to the National Health Information System, 20 of 100 Mexican women die of...

Cobalt-60 sources are widely used for medical equipment and pest insect sterilization, as radiation source for radiotherapy and industrial radiography. Co-60 is produced by neutron activation of Co-59. The challenge during the activation process is the self-shielding effects. Self-shielding is the reduction of neutron flux in the energy range of the resonances resulting in reduction in...
