Biological Effects of Low Doses of Ionizing Radiations: Particle Tracks in Radiobiology
A radiation field is made up of a tangle of particle tracks, from the primary particle and secondary and higher generation electron interactions, well isolated at low doses and with multiple intersections in cell nuclei at high doses. Low dose effects in multicellular systems are therefore the sum of individual track structures. Until we can state with confidence the structure of a particle tra...
متن کاملPotential treatment of inflammatory and proliferative diseases by ultra-low doses of ionizing radiations.
Ultra-low doses and dose- rates of ionizing radiation are effective in preventing disease which suggests that they also may be effective in treating disease. Limited experimental and anecdotal evidence indicates that low radiation doses from radon in mines and spas, thorium-bearing monazite sands and enhanced radioactive uranium ore obtained from a natural geological reactor may be useful in tr...

establishment of new neural connections rather than the modification of existing sets. Blinded octopuses can acquire certain kinds of discriminations based upon tactile or chemical stimulation. The results of a textual discrimination experiment with grooved cylinders suggest that the "discrimination of the topographical features of objects touched may be based simply upon the proportion of sens...
متن کاملBiological effects of low doses of ionizing radiation: A fuller picture
hen the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) submitted its 1994 report to the United Nations General Assembly this year, the international community received a fuller picture of the biological effects of low doses of ionizing radiation. The 272-page 1994 report specifically addresses epidemiological studies of radiation carcinogenesis and adaptive res...
متن کاملRadiation Effects and Damage 1. Ionizing Radiations
The detrimental consequences of radiation are referred to as radiation damage. To understand the effects of radiation, one must first be familiar with the radiations and their interaction mechanisms. Further, the fundamental characteristics of the material(s) being irradiated must also be understood. A brief summary of the characteristics of radiation is first presented below. This is followed ...
