Background: Noise pollution is considered as a stressful factor in every day’s life of the industrial world. The present study was designed to investigate the probable effects of different time exposure of noise stress on histomorphometric changes of adrenal gland, plasma cortisol and body weight of the rat. Methods: Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into two series of short time noise ...

Background: Induction of cellular response after exposure to electromagnetic fields is limited to coherent fields. An incoherent noise field is supposed to suppress the bioeffects of regular RF electromagnetic fields. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of GSM mobile phone-induced radiofrequency (RF) on the induction of oxidative stress in SP2/0 cell line. Materials and Meth...

Background: This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of simultaneous formaldehyde (FA) and noise exposure on the sperm kinematic parameters sexual hormones in male mice. Materials and Methods: Forty eight NMRI adult male mice were randomly assigned to control group and experimental groups which were exposed to formaldehyde vapour (10 ppm) (F), noise (100 dB) (N), and simultaneous ...

original article   noise and vibration are the common problems in industrialized countries which can affect individual's job performance. the present study aimed to investigate the combination of the whole body vibration and the noise and their effects on the students' mental performance in the laboratory setting. twenty male students of tehran university of medical sciences, tehran, iran were ...

noise is a type of energy when exceeds t.l.v., it can cause hearing loss, especially in working environments. as factory workers are at high risk of noise, the present study evaluated the bistoon tile factory workers hearing losses. in this analytical cross-sectional study, workers’ noise leq were calculated according to i.s.o. standards and their audiometry results were derived from their heal...

Introduction: After presbycusis, noise-induced hearing loss is the second most common cause of acquired hearing loss. Numerous studies have shown that high-intensity noise exposure increases free radical species; therefore, use of antioxidants to detoxify the free radicals can prevent cellular damage in the cochlea. We studied the potential hearing protective effect of different doses of ascorb...
