Risks of serious hereditary damage in the first and second generations after low level radiation exposure and at equilibrium were calculated by using a doubling dose of 100 rem (based on experimental work with the mouse) and by considering separately the various categories of genic and chromosomal defect. Prenatal lethality has not been included. It is estimated that after the exposure of a pop...

Introduction Recently, owing to the increase of synchrotron radiation facilities such as SPring-8, dose measurements of high-intense low-energy photons are increasingly needed for radiation protection and medical researches. For the dose measurement, tissue equivalence of dosimeter material becomes important. A radiochromic film that has sensitivity in the dose region of several Gy to 100 Gy ha...

  Today, nuclear medicine has rapidly been developed so that in some cases, plays a unique role in diagnosis but unfortunalty in spite of diagnostic and therapeutic advantages, the term “NUCLEAR” can induce worries in patients and society. In this article, base on new documents, we intend to show that this worries has no scientific basis. To produce a realistic view, ...

This paper considers the historical evolution of the concept of optimisation of radiation exposures, as commonly expressed by the acronym ALARA, and discusses its application to various aspects of radiation protection at high-energy accelerators.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the recent literature on the implications of occupational radiation exposure in anesthesia practice. RECENT FINDINGS Wide variation and lack of reduction in operator doses of medical radiation strongly suggests that more attention must be paid to the factors influencing radiation dose exposure. The eye is likely the most sensitive organ for radiation injury. Radiat...

BACKGROUND Protection of nuclear medicine unit employees from hazards of the ionizing radiation is a crucial issue of radiation protection services. We aimed to assess the severity of the occupational radiation exposure of technicians performing scintigraphic examinations at the Nuclear Medicine Department, Central Teaching Hospital of Medical University in Lódz, where thousands of different di...

Bargaining with reading habit is no need. Reading is not kind of something sold that you can take or not. It is a thing that will change your life to life better. It is the thing that will give you many things around the world and this universe, in the real world and here after. As what will be given by this basic anatomical and physiological data for use in radiological protection the skeleton...

Microbial melanins provide a biocompatible and scalable approach for bioremediation and radioprotection technologies due to their physicochemical properties.

The purpose of the research is determined by value human life, which has been recognized absolute since ancient times. Despite fact that it does not depend on government activities, necessary to adopt measures protect life and create conditions for this. should individuals performing actions ensuring their rights. One manifestations protective legislative consolidation right health protection, ...
