Cataract after exposure to non-ionizing radiant energy.
The case histories of two individuals exposed to thermal radiation emitted from an electric oven and range were presented. In one patient, earlier exposure to medical diathermy appears to have initiated delayed or late-appearing, capsular cataracts. Instead of the anticipated slow progression, the cataractogenesis was accelerated following recent, repeated exposure to the intense, infrared radi...
متن کاملExtraocular muscle degeneration and regeneration after exposure of rats to incandescent radiant energy.
Exposure of albino rats to incandescent radiant energy for a short period of time in an elevated environmental temperature (39 degrees C) causes degenerative changes in the extraocular muscles. The muscle fibres regenerate and the muscles reorganize if the animals are returned to room lighting and temperature. Extraocular muscles (EOMs) were damaged first near their insertion on the eyeball. Al...
متن کاملChildhood and adult cancer after intrauterine exposure to ionizing radiation.
Since the reports in 1956 and 1958 that in utero radiation was associated with an increased risk of leukemia and solid cancers during childhood, this issue has been debated. Many epidemiological studies have been performed. Evidence for a causal association derives almost entirely from case-control studies, whereas practically all cohort studies find no association, most notably the series of a...
متن کاملModulation of Gene Expression After Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
Regulation of gene expression is one of the fundamental mechanisms by which cells utilize the information in their DNA to obtain diverse characteristics, such as ability of differentiated cells to play specific roles and ability to respond to extracellular stresses including ionizing radiation (IR). The research on transcriptional regulation of genes after exposure to IR has a long history trac...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and risk of glioma.
BACKGROUND Although the aetiology of glioma is poorly understood, the higher incidence in males has long suggested an occupational cause. AIM To investigate possible associations between occupational exposure to ionizing, ultraviolet (UV), radiofrequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation and adult glioma risk. METHODS Case-control study using histologically confirmed cases of...
