Medical knowledge on ionizing radiations
I have read with great concern the article written by Borém et al. (1) – " The knowledge about diagnostic imaging methods among primary care and medical emergency physicians " –, published by Radiologia Brasileira in December/2013. The presented results show in a hard-hitting way that physicians are educated even without an appropriate idea about what is ionizing radiation, radiological imaging...
متن کاملThe assessment of function, histopathological changes, and oxidative stress in liver tissue due to ionizing and non-ionizing radiations
Background: Compared to past decades, humans are exposed to rapidly increasing levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations (RF-EMF). Despite numerous studies, the biological effects of human exposure to different levels of RF-EMF are not fully understood, yet. This study aimed to evaluate the bioeffects of exposure to "900/1800 MHz" and “2.4 GHz" RF-EMFs, and x-rays as well as their pot...
متن کاملAlzheimer ’s Disease: Possible Mechanisms Behind Neurohormesis Induced by Exposure to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation
In 2016, scientists reported that human exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation (CT scans of the brain) might relieve symptoms of both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD). The findings were unbelievable for those who were not familiar with neurohormesis. X-ray stimulation of the patient’s adaptive protection systems against neurodegenerative diseases was the mechanism pr...
متن کاملHepatic damage after exposure to halothane in medical personnel.
Two surgeons, in whom liver damage developed after occupational exposure to sub-anaesthetic doses of halothane, were found to have a circulating antibody which reacted specifically with halothane-altered hepatocyte membrane components. This antibody had been found previously only in those patients in whom severe hepatic necrosis developed after exposure to halothane and in no other form of live...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in DNA repair genes, medical exposure to ionizing radiation, and breast cancer risk.
An epidemiologic study was conducted to determine whether polymorphisms in DNA repair genes modify the association between breast cancer risk and exposure to ionizing radiation. Self-reported exposure to ionizing radiation from medical sources was evaluated as part of a population-based, case-control study of breast cancer in African-American (894 cases and 788 controls) and White (1,417 cases ...
