an extensive study was undertaken to investigate on the overall film badge service performance with which occupational radiation, exposures are reported in iran, the study involved the analysis of film badges exposed to x-and gamma rays and beta particles. for test exposures, x-rays between 60 and 140 kvpco-60 gamma radiation and sr-90 beta particles were used. the actual delivered dose equival...

objective: glioblastoma multiforme (gbm), one of the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumors, is highly resistant to radiotherapy. numerous approaches have been pursued to find new radiosensitizers. we used a picogreen and colonogenic assay to appraise the dna damage and cell death in a spheroid culture of gbm cells caused by iodine-131 (i-131) beta radiation in the presence of topote...

The vulnerability of water bodies to contamination within the neighbourhood of open mine cast environ cannot be overemphasized. Evidence of radioactive trace elements associated with the target minerals in the Plateau State (Nigeria) showed the extent of this vulnerability. In order to address this challenge, the radioactivity levels of water samples from mine ponds, streams, wells, and borehol...

Ionizing radiation is an important component of multimodal therapy for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). We sought to evaluate the ability of IFN-beta to enhance the activity of ionizing radiation. Rh-30 and Rh-41 ARMS cells were treated with IFN-beta and ionizing radiation to assess synergistic effects in vitro and as orthotopic xenografts in CB17 severe combined immunodeficient mice. In addit...
