Introduction: Gail model is one of the most important models for the evaluation of breast cancer risk between US white females. According to genetic diversity, there is a possibility of affecting the efficiency of the Gail model in risk assessment of breast cancer among Iranian populations. In this study, the Gail model efficiency in specifying the risk of breast cancer in Iranian population wa...

The majority of the public in industrial countries believes that pollution and low doses of radiation are threats to good health. As a matter of fact, when these putative risks are compared to those originating from lifestyle, they appear very small. In particular, the risks associated with low doses of irradiation, even when they are assessed with the most pessimistic models, appear extremely ...

background: pregnant women are sometimes exposed to ionizing radiation in radiology examinations for various reasons. in such cases, the radiation dose to the conceptus and subsequent risks should be estimated. objective: the purpose of this study was the calculation and presentation of fetal dose and subsequent risks resulted from different x-ray examinations. materials and methods: an analyti...

background: epidemiological studies have probed the correlation between telomere length and the risk of lung cancer, but their findings are inconsistent in this regard.  the present meta-analysis study has been carried out to demonstrate the association between relative telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes and the risk of lung cancer using an established q-pcr technique. methods: a sy...
