The present nuclear leakage crisis from Japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. In radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. Here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. Based on previous similar nuclear crisis in Russia, it ...

dear editor, the big public health concern in this year is the nuclear crisis in japan that causes contamination of nuclides around the world. the effect of the exposure to leaked nuclides from the present nuclear crisis on reproductive health is a topic to be concerned. in my previous publication (1), the evidence on the relationship between nuclear exposure and infertility can be confirmed. h...

Health problems after a nuclear crisis are aninteresting issue in medicine. After the recentJapanese nuclear crisis, several health issuesunderwent monitoring. There are few considerationson mucocutaneous diseases. Indeed, there is nodoubt that the skin and mucocutaneous issues arethe main organs affected by leaked radiations. It isimportant to take care of mucocutaneous lesionsin acute radiati...

background: nowadays, application of nuclear technology in different industries has largely expanded worldwide. proportionately,the risk of nuclear incidents and the resulting injuries have, therefore, increased in recent years. preparedness is an important part of the crisis management cycle; therefore efficient preplanning seems crucial to any crisis  management plan. equipped with facilities...

The question of what effects nuclear weapons have on an actor’s success in coercive diplomacy is in part a function of how nuclear weapons change the perceived costs of conflict. We argue that states will be able to prevail in improving their allotment of a good or in convincing an opponent to back down, and have shorter crises, if their opponents have greater expected costs of crisis. Noting, ...

The recent nuclear crisis in Japan leads to concern on its health effect. Although there are many reports on its possible unwanted effects on many systems in human body, the specific report on odontology aspect is limited. In this brief review, the author hereby presents the specific concerns on odontology focus on some specific odontogenic problems due to nuclear leakage crisis.

Mutations and deletions in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), as well as instability of the nuclear genome, are involved in multiple human diseases. Here, we report that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, loss of mtDNA leads to nuclear genome instability, through a process of cell-cycle arrest and selection we define as a cellular crisis. This crisis is not mediated by the absence of respiration, but ...

This paper illustrates how nuclear crisis are managed in France. It proposes IT solutions dedicated to event management that could help to resolve such a crisis by facilitating coordination between actors and increasing situational awareness. This study has been conducted as part of the European project PLAY. Requirements have been collected from different stakeholders through reviews of the li...
