Late Effects of Total-body Roentgen Irradiation

Category : Ionizing radiation

Pages : 0
Book Description
Two hundred forty-two Wistar rats were observed throughout their life span following 1,000 r hypoxic total-body irradiation. Hypoxic radiation with superimposed anesthesia resulted in 67 percent 30 day mortality, compared to 9 percent mortality without anesthesia. Selection of the colony by acute post-irradiation deaths did not influence the magnitude of late radiation sequelae as measured by life-shortening. Growth retardation during the second post-irradiation year was well correlated with life-shortening. Life-shortening was observed after partial-body irradiation to an extent approximately proportional to the weight of radiated tissue. Nephrosclerosis was not observed unless the upper abdomen was included within the radiation field. Other than nephrosclerosis, a similar incidence of disease was observed at death in control and irradiated rats whether partial-body or total-body irradiated.

Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation

Book Description
This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.

Book Description
This textbook of oncology is aimed at specialist registrars in the early phase of their training. The basic concepts of cancer practice is touched upon in undergraduate and junior postgraduate years, but new trainees frequently seek additional resources to boost their knowledge in the field of Oncology. This title offers a concise account of the multidisciplinary management of common cancers and cancer-related problems appropriate to doctors at the start of their careers in this specialty. The content of the book is based on latest available evidence and reflects the training guidelines. Readable and concise style, aimed at the beginner in this specialty. Well illustrated in colour with graphics, clinical photographs and radiographs. Section on research methodology. Approachable design in the ‘Specialist Training in...’ series style.
