Radiation Protection and Mitigation by Natural Antioxidants and Flavonoids: Implications to Radiotherapy and Radiation Disasters.

Current Molecular Pharmacology, 2018
BACKGROUND Nowadays, ionizing radiations are used for various medical and terroristic aims. These purposes involve exposure to ionizing radiations. Hence, people are at risk for acute or late effects.

Radiation protection principles

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2012
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends a system of radiological protection that is in use worldwide. This paper describes the elements of that system, identifying the central assumptions and principles. A key assumption for protection at low doses is that there is a simple proportionate relationship between increments

Targeting of Inflammation for Radiation Protection and Mitigation.

Current Molecular Pharmacology, 2018
BACKGROUND Inflammation is the response of the immune system that guards the body against several harmful stimuli in normal conditions. However, in response to ionizing radiation that leads to a massive cell death and DNA aberrations, this phenomenon ...

Radiation protection in medicine

1980
Ionizing radiation is a powerful tool in many branches of medicine, both as an aid to diagnosis and a means of therapy (treatment). The most familiar application is the diagnostic X-ray, which is used in a wide variety of examinations, from locating a swallowed marble to a routine examination of the chest. Radiation can induce cancer and yet, curiously,

Toll-like receptors and radiation protection.

European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) causes severe injuries to the human body, and normal tissue toxicity also limits the further application of cancer radiotherapy.

The linear nonthreshold (LNT) model as used in radiation protection: an NCRP update

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 2017
Purpose: The linear nonthreshold (LNT) model has been used in radiation protection for over 40 years and has been hotly debated. It relies heavily on human epidemiology, with support from radiobiology. The scientific underpinnings include NCRP Report No.

Radiation Protection

2018
This chapter deals with radiation protection aspects of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging techniques involving ionizing radiation. Due to stochastic effects and, at very high doses, tissue reactions caused by X-rays, radiation protection of patients, staff, and public should always be taken into account.

Radiation protection legislation

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 1998
Recent legislation which has been passed in Europe comprises the Basic Safety Standard (BSS) [1] and the Medical Exposure Directive (MED) [2]. These documents are the implementation of ICRP's report 60 [3], and ICRP publication 73 [4] expands ICRP60 for medical applications.
