Acute radiation syndrome caused by accidental radiation exposure - therapeutic principles
Fortunately radiation accidents are infrequent occurrences, but since they have the potential of large scale events like the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima, preparatory planning of the medical management of radiation accident victims is very important. Radiation accidents can result in different types of radiation exposure for which the diagnostic and therapeutic measures, as well...
متن کاملAccidental radiation exposure.
We report a radiation accident in whlch a technologist was in close proximlty for 40 seconds to a source containing 7,700 curies of cobalt 60. The average bone marrow dose was estlmated at 118 rads. Within the first 24 hours postexposure, lymphopenla developed and after two weeks, the platelet and granulocyte count began to fall and reached nadir at approximately four weeks. During the phase of...
متن کاملChromosome Damage Caused by Accidental Chronic Whole-Body Gamma Radiation Exposure in Thailand.
In February 2000, a radiation incident involving a medical (60)Co source occurred in a metal scrapyard in Thailand. Several individuals were suspected to have received chronic or fractionated exposures ranging from a few mGy to a several Gy. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization to paint chromosomes, we determined the frequencies of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 1...
متن کاملAcute radiation syndrome and chronic radiation syndrome.
Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) or sickness or poisoning or toxicity is induced after a whole body exposure of men to high doses of radiation between 1-12Gy. First symptoms are from the gastrointestinal system, which together with bone marrow are the most sensitive parts of our body. Chronic radiation syndrome (CRS) may be induced by smaller than 1Gy radiation doses or after a mild form of ARS. ...
متن کاملRadiation protection properties of Myrtus communis against oxidation caused by whole-body exposure of mice
Introduction: Exposure to ionizing radiation can be through direct hit or water radiolysis lead to oxidation in biological systems. In this study, the protective effect of Myrtus Communis aqueous extract on structural changes and oxidative stress in red blood cells and plasma proteins was examined after receipt of ionizing radiation. Materials and Methods: wis...
