چکیده

Introduction: The radiation sickness occurs after whole body or significant partial body irradiation of greater than 1 Gy radiation dose. It is a sequence of phased symptoms. Early phase with no specific clinical responses starts with in few hours to few days of radiation exposure followed by a transient recovery phase. However, clinical symptoms associated with major organ system injured reappear after 2-3 weeks of radiation exposure. This manifest illness phase is characterised by intense immunosuppression and is most difficult to manage. Survivability of radiation exposed person depends on this phase and a regular monitoring in illness phase is essential for optimal clinical management. In earlier studies, radiation induced changes in liver and kidney have been observed after 3 weeks of radiation exposure using NMR based metabonomics. However, for development of minimal invasive or non invasive techniques for identification of radiation related changes of metabolic markers during illness phase, NMR spectroscopy based study on urine has been proposed.

Metabolomics-Based Study of Logarithmic and Stationary Phases of Promastigotes in Leishmania major by 1H NMR Spectroscopy

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases in humans. In this disease, one of the responsible organisms is Leishmania major, which is transmitted by sandfly vector. There are specific differences in biochemical profiles and metabolite pathways in logarithmic and stationary phases of Leishmania parasites. In the present study, 1H NMR spectroscopy was used...

Impact of Silicone gel breast prosthesis on photon beam therapy of recurrence carcinoma post mastectomy

AbstractIntroduction Silicone gel breast implants are used for breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In the event of cancer recurrence, the radiation oncologists are forced to irradiate through the prosthesis device. Due to prosthesis higher atomic number dose perturbations occur during treatment. This study determined the influence of silicone gel thickness on the photon beam distribution. Ma...
