Exposure to ionizing radiation has potential for acute and chronic health effects. Within the general public of the United States, there may be a discrepancy between perceived and actual health risks. In conjunction with the Vermont Department of Health, a survey designed to assess public perception and knowledge of ionizing radiation was administered at 6 Vermont locations (n = 169). Descripti...

It is well known that radioactive rays may cause damage to the human body. Progress in modern medicine has led to an increased risk of therapeutic and diagnostic radiation exposure of patients. Although clear evidence of a radiation dose-dependent risk of chronic myeloid leukaemia, particularly for patients exposed to radiation at a young age, has been established, it is not known whether radia...

Imaging studies that use ionizing radiation are an essential tool for the evaluation of many disorders of childhood. Ionizing radiation is used in radiography, fluoroscopy, angiography, and computed tomography scanning. Computed tomography is of particular interest because of its relatively high radiation dose and wide use. Consensus statements on radiation risk suggest that it is reasonable to...

background : despite its inevitable significance, the effect of in-service english education on medical professionals has rarely been studied longitudinally. the reason can be issues such as physicians’ heavy workload, commuting problems, inappropriate class times, and inexperienced teaching staff. methods : a needs assessment worksheet was administered   to faculty members of shahid beheshti u...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the knowledge and perception and mitigation of hazards involved in radiological examinations, focusing on healthcare personnel who are not in radiation-related occupations, but who use ionising radiation as a part of their work. METHODS A questionnaire was applied to physicians, nurses, technicians and other staff working in different clinics that use rad...

Terrorism dates back to antiquity, but our understanding of it as a public health threat is still in its nascent stages. Focusing on radiation and nuclear terrorism, we apply a public health perspective to explore relevant physical health and psychosocial impacts, the evolving national response infrastructure created to address terrorism, and the potential roles of nuclear medicine professional...

Radiation therapy is a widely used cancer treatment that utilizes high-energy radiation to target and destroy cells. However, challenges such as resistance exposure of healthy tissue the can limit its effectiveness. In this article, we explore various methods have been developed increase effectiveness in treatment. These include fractionation, image-guided (IGRT), radio sensitizers, hyper immun...

Patients who undergo radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer usually present oral complications that impair their quality of life. This clinical case presents the advantage using a semi-direct technique with bioactive materials to restore compromised posterior teeth by dental professionals participate as members oncology network support team provide long-lasting treatment in shorter time. Post-ra...

A comprehensive review of the effects of exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation, BEIR VII-Phase 2: Health Risks From Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation, was published in 2006. The BEIR (Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation) reports are a series of publications by the National Academy of Sciences. The last BEIR report on the effects of low level radiation, BEIR V, was publish...
