Radiation Hormesis in Humans Exposed to Low Level Ionizing Radiation
Through various researches and investigations it has been established that high doses of ionizing radiation are harmful to health. There is substantial controversy regarding the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation despite the large amount of work carried out (both laboratory and epidemiological). According to the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis, any amount, however small, of radiati...
متن کاملRadiation damage to polymer optical fibres
Recently, polymer optical fibre dosimeters have been proposed for use in radiation oncology. Prior to clinical acceptance the effects of radiation on the materials involved must be assessed. In this work, the effects of radiation on mechanical strength and power transmission of polymer optical fibres were investigated. The fibres were subject to high energy electrons and photons generated by a ...
متن کاملReduced DNA damage in tumor spheroids compared to monolayer cultures exposed to ionizing radiation
Background: Several cell lines when cultured under proper condition can form three dimensional structures called multicellular tumor spheroids. Tumor spheroids are valuable in vitro models for studying physical and biological behavior of real tumors. A number of previous studies using a variety of techniques have shown no relationship between radiosensitivity and DNA strand breaks in monolayer ...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the epidermal permeability barrier function of skin during exposure to ionizing radiation. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING University hospital medical center. PATIENTS Fifteen women receiving local radiation therapy (5000-6000 rad [50-60 Gy]) following breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical symptoms and transepide...
متن کاملEpidemiological studies of leukemia in persons exposed to ionizing radiation.
After reviewing the epidemiological studies of persons exposed to ionizing radiation, the author concludes that there is no question that radiation exposure in man is asso ciated with an increased incidence of leukemia and that a cause-and-effect relationship must be accepted. Such an association holds in the higher dose range regardless of (a) sex and age, (6) the amount of body exposed (provi...
