Does Occupational Exposure of Shahid Dastghieb International Airport Workers to Radiofrequency Radiation Affect Their Short Term Memory and Reaction Time?
Background: Airport workers are continuously exposed to different levels of radiofrequency microwave (RF/MW) radiation emitted by radar equipments. Radars are extensively used in military and aviation industries. Over the past several years, our lab has focused on the health effects of exposure to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, mobile base stations, mobile ...
متن کاملDoes Corneal Hysteresis Correlate with Endothelial Cell Density?
BACKGROUND Our aim was to determine if there is a correlation between corneal biomechanical properties, endothelial cell count, and corneal pachymetry in healthy corneas. MATERIAL/METHODS Ninety-two eyes of all subjects underwent complete ocular examination, including intraocular pressure measurement by Goldmann applanation tonometer, objective refraction, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Topogra...
متن کاملDoes occupational exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation affect bone marrow thrombopoiesis?
BACKGROUND The biological effects of high levels of radiation exposure are fairly well known, but the effects of low levels of radiation are more difficult to determine because the deterministic effects do not occur at these levels. METHODS In order to assess the risk of this exposure on BM thrombopoiesis, we measured reticulated platelets (RP) by flow cytometry in 14 hospital workers (12 tec...
متن کاملCorneal endothelial cell density in twins.
Corneal endothelial cell density was measured in normal subjects and in a group of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Cell density was found to decline with age and to be similar in right and left eyes in normal subjects. Both monozygotic and dizygotic twins were found to have very similar mean endothelial cells densities and particularly so in like-sided eyes.
متن کاملpredictors of endothelial cell density of corneal grafts after dsaek
purpose: to evaluate endothelial cell density (ecd) and morphology of clear corneal grafts after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) and to determine the factors that influence graft ecd postoperatively. methods: seventy-seven eyes (38 right eyes) of 64 patients (34 female subjects) who underwent dsaek for fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy (n=38) or pseudophakic bullous ker...
