Radiation injuries of the intestines

The American Journal of Medicine, 1948
Abstract The outstanding early symptom of radiation injury of the intestine is diarrhea, mild to severe in degree. Later manifestations are pain, demonstrable ulceration and stricture formation with partial or complete obstruction. The early lesions, located usually on the anterior wall of the rectum and rectosigmoid, are characterized by an edematous

Radiation injury and neurogenesis

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2003
For many cancers, survival depends on aggressive combined therapies, but treatment comes at a price. Children and adults who receive radiotherapy involving the brain frequently experience a progressive cognitive decline. The overt pathologies of radiation injury such as white matter necrosis or vasculopathy are the obvious "smoking guns" of dysfunction.

Microwave radiation injury

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1983
A case of momentary exposure of the right hand to irradiation from a microwave oven is described. Transient paresthesias and a cold, pale hand resulted but resolved spontaneously in 60 minutes without treatment. Even momentary exposure can result in severe coagulation necrosis, with eventual loss of the exposed extremity.

Potentiation of radiation injury by interferon*

American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1982
Interferon (IFN) is being tested clinically in the treatment of a wide range of human malignancies. Patients undergoing cancer treatment may require radiotherapy in conjunction with IFN administration. This study examined the effect of purified preparations of IFN on the radiation response of mouse Swiss 3T3 cells in culture. Cells were exposed to 10 U/

Radiation-induced multi-organ injury

International Journal of Radiation Biology
Purpose Natural history studies have been informative in dissecting radiation injury, isolating its effects, and compartmentalizing injury based on the extent of exposure and the elapsed time post-irradiation.

Modulation of Radiation Injury

Science, 2004
Scientists are just beginning to understand the complicated response to radiation exposure that organisms exhibit. In their Perspective, [ Coleman et al .][1] report on a recent meeting that reviewed the model systems available to study these issues and recent progress in their application to radiation injury.

Anticoagulation for radiation injury [PDF]

Neurology, 1995
To the Editor: Glantz et al recently published an important article [1] on the effect of heparin and warfarin on radiationinduced nervous system injury in 11 patients, one of whom had myelopathy. We have encountered two cases of delayed radiation myelopathy, one of which has been treated with oral anticoagulants.

Radiation injury of the rectum

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2001
Any clinician involved in the treatment of pelvic malignancies with radiation is aware of the potential for rectal injury. Although severe effects have been well described for many years, it is only more recently that lesser degrees of rectal injury have been considered important.

Mechanisms of cardiac radiation injury and potential preventive approaches.

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2015
In addition to cytostatic treatment and surgery, the most common cancer treatment is gamma radiation. Despite sophisticated radiological techniques however, in addition to irradiation of the tumor, irradiation of the surrounding healthy tissue also takes

Pathology of Radiation Injury [PDF]

, 1989
Irradiation is widely used in the treatment of some malignant tumours. It has become the therapy of choice in certain circumstances where surgery and/or chemotherapy have failed to produce good results. With increasing use, we have become more aware of the complications and potential hazards of radiotherapy.
