Preoperative radiation is associated with an increased risk of wound complications. However, the influences of radiation on musculofascial wound healing remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to investigate the short-term effects of preoperative local radiation on the musculofascial healing of la...
Increasing cloudiness in the atmosphere and rising turbidity in the coastal waters of the Arctic region are considered as the major factors that counteract the effect of reduced sea ice on underwater PAR. Additionally, extreme solar zenith angles and sea-ice cover in the AO increase the ...
Today's ultraviolet C (UVC) applications ranges from industrial to medical areas and are summarized inTable 2. For food safety applications, the germicidal UVC radiation has special affinity for some proteins and enzymes and in particular, for thenucleic acids. Therefore, UVC is considered as a ...
The microwave signal power is usually expressed as signal ‘brightness temperature’. This quantity is proportional to the detected power from the signal, has units of temperature, and for hν ≪ kT converges to the temperature of blackbody radiation that would give rise to the amount of ...
Cell cycle progression can be studied with computational models that allow to describe and predict its perturbation by agents as ionizing radiation or drugs. Such models can then be integrated in tools for pre-clinical/clinical use, e.g. to optimize kine
Sex generally refers to a set of biological attributes that are associated with physical and physiological features such as chromosomal genotype, hormonal levels, internal and external anatomy. A binary sex categorization (male/female) is usually designated at birth ("sex assigned at birth") and is...
Improvement of conduction could in theory prevent unidirectional conduction block, which is a perquisite for MMVT due to reentry [12]. However, histopathologic and imaging evaluations of irradiated hearts suggests some degree of fibrosis and/or edema as compared to before STAR in a majority of ...
They are, however, not usually classified as being occupationally exposed in the sense of the general \{ICRP\} system for radiation protection of workers applied on Earth. The exposure assessment and risk-related approach described in this report is clearly restricted to the special situation in ...
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is considered thermal covers the range of wavelength from 0.1 to 100 μm; in comparison, the visible light portion of the thermal spectrum in which humans can see is very narrow, covering only from 0.35 to 0.75 μm. If we were insects, we...
