Radiation worker protection by exposure scheduling.
The discovery of the protective adaptive response of cells to a low dose of radiation suggests applications to radiation worker/first responder protection. Its use in cancer radiotherapy has been discussed in a separate publication. This paper describes simple changes in scheduling that can make use of these beneficial adaptive effects for protection. No increase in total exposure is necessary,...
متن کاملRadiation protection properties of Myrtus communis against oxidation caused by whole-body exposure of mice
Introduction: Exposure to ionizing radiation can be through direct hit or water radiolysis lead to oxidation in biological systems. In this study, the protective effect of Myrtus Communis aqueous extract on structural changes and oxidative stress in red blood cells and plasma proteins was examined after receipt of ionizing radiation. Materials and Methods: wis...
متن کاملVitamin C as Protection Against Radiation Exposure
e nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, in March 2011 led to drastic mechanistic measures (e.g., evacuation, decontamination showers of clothing, and use of protective clothing by rescue workers) to protect the population against imminent and future radiation exposure. Besides mechanistic measures, no orthomolecular protection measures other than iodine supplementation were taken, although scie...
متن کاملOccupational Radiation Protection: Protecting Workers against Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
The 1984 International Labour Conference Resolution concerning the improvement of the working conditions and the environment laid down the fundamental objectives and principles on which the Infocus Programme on Safety and Health and the Environment (SafeWork) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is based. The protection of the worker against ionizing radiations falls naturally within ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gonadal Exposure Dose in Long Bone Plain Radiography for Radiation Protection
Introduction: Long bone examination in standing position, as one of the diagnostic methods in plain radiography, is most commonly used in the field of medical diagnosis, especially leg length discrepancy. However, with regard to this examination, reproductive organs are exposed to radiation as they are placed in the adjacent area to the long bone. Due to the sensitivit...
