Undesirable dental hard tissue effects hypothetically linked to orthodontics - a microscopic study.

Like any other medical intervention, the orthodontic treatment may have, besides the positive effects, also unwanted secondary consequences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes present in dental hard tissue associated with orthodontic treatment. The stereo-microscopic ex vivo analysis was performed on two sets of maxillary first premolars undergoing orthodontic treatment for a lon...

Non-targeted effects induced by ionizing radiation: mechanisms and potential impact on radiation induced health effects.

Not-targeted effects represent a paradigm shift from the "DNA centric" view that ionizing radiation only elicits biological effects and subsequent health consequences as a result of an energy deposition event in the cell nucleus. While this is likely true at higher radiation doses (>1 Gy), at low doses (<100 mGy) non-targeted effects associated with radiation exposure might play a significant r...

An Investigation of the Effects of Raw Garlic on Radiation-induced Bystander Effects in MCF7 Cells

Introduction Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) is a phenomenon in which radiation signals are transmitted from irradiated cells to non-irradiated ones, inducing radiation effects in these cells. RIBE plays an effective role in radiation response at environmentally relevant low doses and in radiotherapy, given its impact on adjacent normal tissues or those far from the irradiated tumor. ...
