Glaucoma in atomic bomb survivors.
Radiation has been associated with increases in noncancerous diseases. An effect of low-dose radiation on the prevalence of clinically detected glaucoma has not been previously reported. We therefore investigated the prevalence of glaucoma in A-bomb survivors and its possible association with radiation dose. A total of 1,589 people who participated in the clinical examination program for A-bomb...
متن کاملEpidemiological research on radiation-induced cancer in atomic bomb survivors
The late effects of exposure to atomic bomb radiation on cancer occurrence have been evaluated by epidemiological studies on three cohorts: a cohort of atomic bomb survivors (Life Span Study; LSS), survivors exposed IN UTERO : , and children of atomic bomb survivors (F1). The risk of leukemia among the survivors increased remarkably in the early period after the bombings, especially among child...
متن کاملAssociation of Acute Radiation Syndrome and Rain after the Bombings in Atomic Bomb Survivors.
Acute radiation-induced symptoms reported in survivors after the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been suspected to be associated with rain that fell after the explosions, but this association has not been evaluated in an epidemiological study that considers the effects of the direct dose from the atomic bombs and other factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate this associati...
متن کاملLeukemia in Atomic Bomb Survivors
EUKEMOGENESIS induced by repeated exposures to x-ray and other forms of radiation energy has long been recognized in man and in experimental ammals.’3 The explosion of the atomic bombs in Japan exposed two large human populations to single brief but massive doses of ionizing irradiation and subsequently a marked increase in leukemia among survivors was reported.4 ‘ The present study consists of...
متن کاملRelationship between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and radiation exposure in Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors.
Radiation exposure is a possible predisposing factor for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), but the association has been uncertain. We investigated the relationship between radiation exposure and MGUS prevalence by using data from the M-protein screening for Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors between 1988 and 2004. Radiation exposure was assessed by exposure distance from th...
