General relativistic spherically symmetric matter field with a vanishing stress energy scalar is analyzed. Procedure for generating exact solutions of the field equations for such matter distributions is given. It is further pointed out that all such type I spherically symmetric fields with distinct eignvalues in the radial two space can be treated as a mixture of isotropic and directed radiati...

Background: There has been a growing claim that cell phone usage may have a detrimental effect on sperm chromatin. Infertile men possess anomalies in the composition of their sperm nuclei, displaying higher levels of loosely packaged chromatin and damaged DNA. In this study we examined the relationship of cell phone radiation and the protection effect of alpha_tocopherol on human sperm DNA. Mat...

background: the health effect of rapidly increasing everyday exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation is a major global concern. mobile phone jammers prevent the mobile phones from receiving signals from base stations by interfering with authorized mobile carriers’ services. in spite of the fact that mobile jammer use is illegal, they are occasionally used in offices, shrines, conference ...

A bystander effect is biological changes in non-irradiated cells by transmitted signals from irradiated bystander cells, which causes the radiation toxic effects on the adjacent non-irradiated tissues. This phenomenon occurs by agents such as ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and chemotherapy. The bystander effect includes biological processes such as damage to DNA, cell death, ch...

background: melatonin is a free radical scavenger. it has also antioxidant effects through its stimulatory actions on antioxidant system. objective: we conducted this study to examine the effect of different oral doses of melatonin on liver tissue. methods: we used 42 rats—6 rats in each group. group i served as the control group; group ii rats were pretreated with only melatonin; group iii was...
