The dose-response relation in radiation-induced cancer.
Although ionizing radiation can apparently induce neoplasms of virtually all types, the relation between tumor incidence and dose varies, depending on the type of neoplasm, constitution of the host, conditions of irradiation, and other variables. Owing to statistical limitations, however, the existing data fail to provide an unambiguous picture of the dose-response relation for any form of canc...
متن کاملIs the Linear No-Threshold Dose-Response Paradigm Still Necessary for the Assessment of Health Effects of Low Dose Radiation?
Inevitable human exposure to ionizing radiation from man-made sources has been increased with the proceeding of human civilization and consequently public concerns focus on the possible risk to human health. Moreover, Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents after the 2011 East-Japan earthquake and tsunami has brought the great fear and anxiety for the exposure of radiation at low levels, even m...
متن کاملThe dose-response relationship for cardiovascular disease is not necessarily linear
The probability for a complication after radiotherapy is usually a function of dose and volume in the organ or tissue of interest. In most epidemiological studies the risk for a complication is stratified in terms of dose, but not irradiated volume. We show that the obtained risk cannot generally be applied to radiotherapy patients.The epidemiological data of Darby et al. (N Engl J Med 368:2527...
متن کاملA Linear Dose-Response Curve at the Motor Endplate
The motor endplate of frog sartorius muscle was voltage clamped and the peak current to different concentrations of acetylcholine and carbachol applied in the perfusing fluid was measured. Perfusing fluid was hypertonic in order to suppress contractions. Current responses were smooth and reached a peak value within 2-5 s. The dose-response curve was usually linear even with concentrations of 10...
متن کاملJava is Type Safe - Probably
Amidst rocketing numbers of enthusiastic Java programmers and internet applet users, there is growing concern about the security of executing Java code produced by external, unknown sources. Rather than waiting to nd out empirically what damage Java programs do, we aim to examine rst the language and then the environment looking for points of weakness. A proof of the soundness of the Java type ...
