چکیده
Following exposure of isolated frog gastrocnemii to high intensi ty x-radiat ion, increased fat igabi l i ty and contracture of the muscles have been demonst ra ted in previous studies (3). The present paper present ing an expansion of these previous studies comprises, first, a s tudy of cold blooded muscle during and after exposure to x-radiat ion and, second, a determinat ion of radia t ion effects on muscles of in tac t warm blooded animals.

متن کاملEvaluation of the level of fear of radiation among radiology staff in hospitals affiliated to Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2014
Background: The biological effects of radiation on radiology personnel are divided into two groups of deterministic effects and stochastic effects. Due to the effects of radiation on health, radiology staff may be afraid of radiation. Younger personnel with little work experience, compared with older personnel, have higher level of fear. The fear among radiology personnel, like employees of var...
متن کاملEffects of age and radiation treatment on function of extrinsic tongue muscles
BACKGROUND Radiation treatment for head and neck cancer often results in difficulty swallowing. Muscle weakness and fibrosis have been identified clinically as possible etiologies for swallowing problems following radiation. Aging may compound the effects of radiation on swallowing because radiation-induced damage to muscles and other tissues critical for the oropharyngeal swallow is overlaid o...
متن کاملEstimation of dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 using GATE8.1 code
Brachytherapy is one type of internal radiation therapy where radiation sources, which are usually encapsulated are placed as close as possible to the tumor site inside the patient's body. In this technique, it is important to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy capsule. Hereby, in this paper, dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 are estimated accordin...
