Exposure of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (at -70 C) to 6 x 106 r y-radiation (6WCo) resulted in loss of lethality for young adult mice and guinea pigs, and loss of capacity to produce plaques or cyLopathic effects in tissue culture. The suckling mouse was more sensitive for detecting live virus in radiated suspensions than was the adult mouse or guinea pig. Live virus was dem...

  Background: The sporadic cases of radiation-activated multiple sclerosis (MS) has been previously described, with a few studies focused on the relationship between radiation and the risk of MS. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between history of X-ray radiation and MS.   Methods : This case-control study was conducted on 150 individuals including 65 MS patients and 85 age-...

By isolating a finite effective volume from a conventional triangular pyramid corner cube, we obtained truncated corner cube structures with greatly enhanced retroreflection efficiency. We explore an optimal truncated corner cube with near 100% retroreflection efficiency based on the expectation that the traveling paths of the optical rays can be localized in the finite effective volume of the ...

In patients with head and neck cancer, the most common issue after radiation treatment is xerostomia consequences of that, which are affecting quality everyday life patient. Subjectively manifested as dryness in oral cavity, followed obstructed chewing swallowing food. Mostly it happens because death cells gland that supposed to be dividing, caused by radiation. To improve patients’ treatment, ...

Background & Aims: In this study with the aim of benefiting from non-laser sources in photodynamic therapy, photo and radio sensitivity of indocyanine green as a sensitizer in photodynamic and radiation therapies were investigated. Methods: Based on the broad absorption peak of indocyanine green and using non-coherent light, the experiments were performed on human cells derived from breast canc...

The effect of γ-radiation dosage on the thermal stability cross-linked acrylic polymer "Carbomer-140" (СRB) was investigated. DTA, TGA, and DTG curves show multistage processes occurring in different temperature ranges heating CRB from 25 °C to 500 °C. rates decomposition were determined 40–110 °C, 180–260 260–330 330–500 In combination with results electronic structure calculations, potential ...

In this study, we examined the factors contributing to brain radiation necrosis and its predictors of patients treated with Cyberknife radiosurgery. A total of 94 patients with primary or metastatic brain tumours having been treated with Cyberknife radiotherapy from Sep. 2006 to Oct. 2011 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Skull based tracking was used to deliver radiation to 104 targ...
