Response of nuclear emulsions to ionizing radiations

The assessment of function, histopathological changes, and oxidative stress in liver tissue due to ionizing and non-ionizing radiations

Background: Compared to past decades, humans are exposed to rapidly increasing levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations (RF-EMF). Despite numerous studies, the biological effects of human exposure to different levels of RF-EMF are not fully understood, yet. This study aimed to evaluate the bioeffects of exposure to "900/1800 MHz" and “2.4 GHz" RF-EMFs, and x-rays as well as their pot...

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...

Effects of Ionizing Radiations on Immune Processes

establishment of new neural connections rather than the modification of existing sets. Blinded octopuses can acquire certain kinds of discriminations based upon tactile or chemical stimulation. The results of a textual discrimination experiment with grooved cylinders suggest that the "discrimination of the topographical features of objects touched may be based simply upon the proportion of sens...

Sensitivities of different bacteriophage species to ionizing radiations.

where S is the survival ratio (number of plaque forming phage particles after exposure to a dose D of radiation) /(number of plaque-forming phage particles before exposure), and R is the radiosensitivity of the phage (for a recent discussion of this subject, see Pollard, 1954). The radiosensitivities of a number of bacteriophage species have been measured, and are presented here and compared wi...
