This chapter deals with the clinical aspects of the negative effects of solar radiation on the skin of humans. Discussed in some detail are cutaneous erythema, action spectra for erythema and concepts of the use of Minimal Erythema Dose (MED), and Standard Erythema Dose (SED). Patterns of ...
We suspect that much ofRadiation Research's bias against EMF effects can be attributed to John Moulder, who came on as an editor in 1991 and was promoted to senior editor in 2000. For this whole time —during which the microwave–genotox controversy became more and more contentious— Moulder...
Both the warming climate and ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR) are considered to be notable environmental factors affecting amphibian population decline, with particular effects on tadpole development. However, the phenotypes of tadpoles living at high altitudes may be improved by moderately warming temperatu...
Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. . They are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight,radiation, and moving air and water. You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a wat...
One of the major drawbacks of internet usage is health. Prolonged exposure to bright screens can lead to eye problems such as dry eyes and blurred vision. Additionally, long hours sitting in front of a computer can cause headaches and neck pain. Research has also shown that radiation from Wi...
There has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of our judicial system. C、 Any exposure to radiation will lead to certain damage. There is no exposure to radiation but will cause damage. D、 A fearful price has to be paid whenever we accept the challenges of the future. It ...
36 The radiation exposure from whole body DXA scans is extremely low that is less than 10 uSv. In the 2003–2004 NHANES database, whole body DXA scans were performed in eligible participants that are at least eight year-old. The exclusion criteria of the DXA examination included pregnancy,...
However, to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure, and given the satisfactory validity and reliability of manual inclinometer (20, 21), the spine measurement method in our study was acceptable. Due to the cross-sectional design, the study could not examine the causal relationships, the odds ratios ...
Ultimate success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) depends not only on donor HSCs themselves but also on the host environment. Total body irradiation is a component in various host conditioning regimens for HSCT. It is known that ionizing radiation exerts "bystander effects" on nontar...
