Summary: Burns are skin damage caused by heat trauma or cold (frost bite). Causes include fire, hot water, electricity, chemicals, radiation, and (frostbite). This may involve subcutaneous tissue. Burn injuries associated with high incidence prevalence, risk of morbidity mortality, resource-intensive, costly. One the most common complications in burn patients is acute kidney injury (AKI). The m...

Although the wide acceptance of interventional radiology (IVR) procedures has led to increasing numbers of interventions being performed, the radiation doses from IVR are higher. Increasing numbers of case reports of patient radiation injury resulting from IVR are being published. Therefore, radiation protection during IVR poses a very important problem. To protect against radiation injury, the...

I ncreasing experimental and clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of Pentoxifylline (PTX) in the treatment of radiation injury; particularly late effects of radiation (Dion et al. 1989, Dion et al. 1990, Gottlöber et al. 1996, Futran et al. 1997, Delanian 1998). Since ionising radiation is frequently used in combination with surgery in the treatment of cancer and radiation accident pati...

PURPOSE Accurate noninvasive diagnosis is vital for effective treatment planning. Presently, standard anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is incapable of differentiating recurring tumor from delayed radiation injury, as both lesions are hyperintense in both postcontrast T1- and T2-weighted images. Further studies are therefore necessary to identify an MRI paradigm that can differentiall...

background: many people suffer from nerve injury. the time consuming nature of the treatments makes the condition worse. therefore, finding a way to accelerate the process of nerve repair is very important. objective: to determine the effect of ultrasound on the acceleration of crushed peripheral nerve regeneration. methods: the experimental model included crushed rat’s sciatic nerve. 40 rats w...

Background: Protection of hematopoietic system has become a primary goal in the development of novel medical countermeasures against ionization radiation and radiotherapy. This study was to explore the role of rapamycin in normal tissues against radiation. Materials and Methods: Mice were pretreated with rapamycin by i.p. every other day for five times before 5 Gy or 8.5 Gy γ-ray whole bo...

The varying responses of inbred mouse models to radiation exposure present a unique opportunity to dissect the genetic basis of radiation sensitivity and tissue injury. Such studies are complementary to human association studies as they permit both the analysis of clinical features of disease, and of specific variants associated with its presentation, in a controlled environment. Herein I revie...
