the harmful effects of the long-term ocular exposure to cumulative levels of infrared radiation (ir) in glassblowing and foundries have been recognized since the late 19th century. these effects include cataracts, keratitis, and chronic dry eye problems. therefore, infrared radiation measurements are critical and need to be assessed regularly in the industries and workplaces where there are hig...

introduction: a comparision of cytogenetic methods in the evaluation of occupationally received radiation dose by medical radiation workwrs and a study of adaptive response to subsequent higher radiation exposure in this group.the purpose of this research was to study the effects of two cryoprotectants on viability, motility, morphology and fertilization rate of mouse sperm after freezing-thawi...

The purpose of this presentation is to initiate the discussions of automated analysis of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations with a consideration of the possible biomedical benefits to be achieved by its successful accomplishment. Biological indicators of radiation effect are considered. The biomedical indications for and usefulness of cytogenetic dosimetry are described, based on past exp...
