Protection Against Ionizing Radiations

Oxygen Protection of Bacteriophage T1 against Ionizing Radiations

Bacteriophage T1 was suspended in distilled water and in phosphate buffer, saturated with oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, and irradiated with gamma rays and x-rays. Under the same conditions phage was exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen acted as a protective agent against both irradiation and hydrogen peroxide inactivation. As a protective agent against irradiation, oxygen was...

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...
