Occupational 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...

متن کاملEffect of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation on Biomarker of Oxidative Damage of DNA
Introduction: one of the most important complications of exposure to ionizing radiation is emergence of cancer tumors, which happens as a result of oxidative DNA. Therefore, the present study was conducted, aimed to measuring 8-DIHYDROxy- 2’- DEOXYGUANOSINE (8-OHdG) level in radiographers’ urine as oxidative damage biomarker, as well as comparing this biomarker with cumulative effective doses....
