background: total body irradiation (tbi) is different from standard radiotherapy in many aspects, so it is not easy to predict the delivered dose to the patient under tbi treatment. diode dosimetry procedures for surface dose reading can help to define variations of the actually delivered dose from the prescribed one. the aim of this study was to describe the measurements made to calibrate diod...

background: radiotherapy has many side effects on fertilization in young women. radiation can lead to ovarian failure in women who underwent abdomen or pelvic radiotherapy. objective: this study helps us to investigate ovarian response of nmri female mice to ovarian stimulating hormones (pmsg, hcg) after whole-body gamma irradiation. materials and methods: 45 pregnant mice were divided into two...

us damages to the ovary storage and the matrix muscle state. some of these patients may admit to infertility clinics for having pregnancy and on the other hand hormonal administration for superovulation induction is a routine procedure in assisted reproduction technology (art) clinics.objective: this study aimed to investigate fertility and fetuses of hormone treated super ovulated female mice ...

munocompromised host, interaction between the microfloTa and the patient", again organized together with the Gnotobiotic Project GToup of EORTC. I am feeling somewhat like an outsider as I have to start from quite a different point of view than my colleagues, but I hope that 1 will be in touch with the general topic at the end. The reaction of bone marrow to irradiation has been investigated ov...

objective: ionizing radiation interacts with biological systems to induce excessive fluxes of free radicals that attack various cellular components. melatonin has been shown to be a direct free radical scavenger and indirect antioxidant via its stimulatory actions on the antioxidant system.the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant role of melatonin against radiation-induced oxidativ...

objective: ionizing radiation produces free radicals which induce dna damage and cell death. origanum vulgare leaf extract (ovle) is a natural compound and its capability of scavenging free radicals and its antioxidant activity have been demonstrated by many researchers. in this study, using micronucleus assay, radioprotective effect of ovle against clastogenic and cytotoxic effect of gamma irr...

background: ghrelin is a hormone related to food intake in rodents and humans, mainly produced in stomach. this study aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on ghrelin concentration in the gastric mucosa of rats. materials and methods : twenty-five rats were exposed to 15 gy of whole-abdominal irradiation. gastric tissue samples were obtained 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90 days after irradiation. fi...

This study aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on ghrelin concentration in the gastric mucosa of rats. Materials and Methods : Twenty-five rats were exposed to 15 Gy of whole-abdominal irradiation. Gastric tissue samples were obtained 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90 days after irradiation. Fi...

In the first myeloma trial of the M.R.C. working party on leukaemia in adults the deaths that have occurred can be attributed to unrelated diseases (5%h-for example, cosonary thrombosis, etc.); causes indirectly telated to the tumour (80,for example, pneumonia due to the immune paresis); no obvious response of the tumour to treatment (27/); and finally relapse of the tumour after an initial res...
