background and objective: professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....

although there are substantial experimental, epidemiological and clinical evidences that high doses of ionizing radiation cause cancer and other detrimental biological effects, the health effects of human exposure to chronic low dose radiation exposures are still poorly known. people in some areas around the world live in dwellings with radiation and radon levels as much as more than 200 times ...

Introduction: The great use of electrical appliances in different life applications is one of the most obvious concerns because of its possible health drawbacks. These investigation reports results of electromagnetic field effect emitted from mobile phones on some biophysical parameters of human blood belonging to blood groups A, B, AB & O collected from the normal persons. The parameters obser...

background: humans beings are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural sources. the main contributors to natural radiation are high-energy cosmic radiation and radioactive nuclides that originates in the earth’s crust. exposure to high levels of radiation can cause serious health effects. in this study an attempt has been made to monitor the levels of environmental background rad...

Background: During radiation therapy, stromal cells surrounding the tumor (e.g mesenchymal stem cells) may affect the treatment outcomes. We aimed to investigate the effects of gamma radiation on the mRNA expression of cytokines, DNA damage and population doubling time (PDT) of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). Material and methods: ASCs were enzymatically extracted from breast tis...
