Radiation exposure to staff members during traction X-rays
Background Determining the flexibility of a scoliosis curve is important, during both conservative and surgical management, and traction x-rays of the patient’s spine are frequently done as part of this evaluation. The traction x-ray is done with the patient in the supine position, and with staff members pulling on the patient’s arms and legs. The use of staff to produce the traction radiograph...
متن کاملRadiation induced apoptosis in CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells after exposure to x-rays or carbon ions
In multicellular organisms stem cells are involved in tissue regeneration, which is regulated by apoptosis (programmed cell death). An early event of apoptosis is the externalisation of membrane phospholipids to the extracellular environment, on which Annexin-V is able to bind with a high affinity. The later stages of apoptosis are characterized by the loss of plasma membrane integrity, DNA fra...

متن کاملExpression of phosphorylated histone H2AX in blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing angiographic procedures following exposure to X‐rays
Introduction: Coronary angiography is a Diagnostic-Therapeutic method involving ionizing radiation. This method causes to DNA damage with form double stranded breaks which is followed by the phosphorylation of the histone, H2AX. H2AX is a key factor in the repair process of damaged DNA which will accumulate to damage sites. In human cells, H2AX constitutes about 10% of the H2A ...
