Linear No-Threshold Model VS. Radiation Hormesis.
The atomic bomb survivor cancer mortality data have been used in the past to justify the use of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model for estimating the carcinogenic effects of low dose radiation. An analysis of the recently updated atomic bomb survivor cancer mortality dose-response data shows that the data no longer support the LNT model but are consistent with a radiation hormesis model when a...
متن کاملLinear non-threshold dose relationship
The origins of understanding the effects of radiation began with ignorance, which led to what we today would classify as huge doses of radiation. These proved to have certain and dire consequences. We can say that in the regime of very large doses, the results of increasing the dose are increasing consequences. That is, for large doses, we can say with assurance that Consequences ∝ Dose. The do...
متن کاملBayesian threshold-linear model for genetic evaluation of direct and maternal calving traits in Iranian primiparous Holstein cattle
The main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters for multi-trait evaluation of birth weight (BW), gestation length (GL) and calving difficulty (CD) in first-parity Iranian Holstein dairy cattle. The data included 29,950 calving records collected during 1995 to 2014 by the Animal Breeding and Improvement Center of Iran. A threshold-linear sire-maternal grandsire model was ...
متن کاملThe linear no-threshold relationship is inconsistent with radiation biologic and experimental data.
Maurice Tubiana, MD Ludwig E. Feinendegen, MD Chichuan Yang, MD Joseph M. Kaminski, MD T he carcinogenic risk induced by low doses of ionizing radiation is controversial. It cannot be assessed with epidemiologic methods alone because at low doses the data are imprecise and often conflicting. Since the 1970s, the radiation protection community has estimated the risk of low doses by means of extr...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis and the linear, non-threshold dose response model of radiation risk estimation.
Recent research in molecular radiation carcinogenesis is reviewed with the specific aim of exploring the implications this research may have on the dose response relationship of radiation-induced cancer at low doses and low dose rates. It is concluded that the linear non-threshold dose response hypothesis may be used in radiation protection planning as a simple, convenient method to optimize pr...
