[ 1 ] - Evaluation of organs at risk dose in the left breast IOERT procedures whit and without shielding disc using monte carlo simulation

Introduction: One of the treatment choices in breast cancer is Intra operative electron beam radiation therapy (IOERT). Due to high dose delivery in this procedure, shielding disk is used to protect organs at risk (OARs). In this study, we evaluate the OARs dose in the breast IOERT using Monte Carlo simulation with and without shielding disk in RANDO phantom. Material and Methods: Simulation ...

[ 2 ] - The Effects of Calligonum Extract and Low-intensity Ultrasound on Motility, Viability, and DNA Fragmentation of Human Frozen-Thawed Semen

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of Calligonum extract and US radiation on sperm parametersof cryopreserved human semen samples.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, twenty-five semen specimens were obtained from healthy semendonors and incubated in human tubal fluid (HTF) medium supplemented with 10% human serum albumin (HSA) for45 minutes...

[ 3 ] - Gold nanoparticles in radiation therapy: an old story yet mesmerizing

Radiotherapy (RT) is generally considered to be one of the most effective cancer treatments. The primary goal of RT is to accurately induce radiation damage to the tumor while limiting radiation toxicity to a level acceptable to normal tissue. This is accomplished by targeting the tumor with radiation. On the other hand, the status of RT procedures as they stand today is not substantial enough ...
