Leukemia in Atomic Bomb
EUKEMOGENESIS induced by repeated exposures to x-ray and other forms of radiation energy has long been recognized in man and in experimental ammals.’3 The explosion of the atomic bombs in Japan exposed two large human populations to single brief but massive doses of ionizing irradiation and subsequently a marked increase in leukemia among survivors was reported.4 ‘ The present study consists of...
متن کاملAtomic bomb health benefits.
Media reports of deaths and devastation produced by atomic bombs convinced people around the world that all ionizing radiation is harmful. This concentrated attention on fear of miniscule doses of radiation. Soon the linear no threshold (LNT) paradigm was converted into laws. Scientifically valid information about the health benefits from low dose irradiation was ignored. Here are studies which...
متن کاملGlaucoma in atomic bomb survivors.
Radiation has been associated with increases in noncancerous diseases. An effect of low-dose radiation on the prevalence of clinically detected glaucoma has not been previously reported. We therefore investigated the prevalence of glaucoma in A-bomb survivors and its possible association with radiation dose. A total of 1,589 people who participated in the clinical examination program for A-bomb...

متن کاملUnderstanding Rupture Risk Factors for Intracranial Aneurysms: Which Ticking Time Bomb Needs to be Defused?
U nderstanding the natural history of a disease is paramount to defining treatment strategies and algorithms. Intracranial aneurysms are no exception to this rule. Over the past decade, an extensive body of literature has been generated with the goal of improving our understanding of intracranial aneurysms and the factors that govern their rupture risk. However, most large-scale trials have bee...
