We recently reported, in a series of patients receiving total body irradiation before transplant,
an influence of dose rate (DR) on cataract formation. The aim of our present in vitro study …

Purpose: Epidemiological evidence regarding the radiosensitivity of the lens of the eye and
radiation cataract development has led to changes in the EU Basic Safety Standards for …

Because of the increasing application of ionizing radiation in medicine, quantitative data on
effects of low-dose radiation are needed to optimize radiation protection, particularly with …

Cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment which can result in blindness. Cataract
formation has been associated with radiation exposure; however, the mechanistic …

Lenses of mice irradiated with 250 MeV protons, 670 MeV/amu 20 Ne, 600 MeV/amu 56 Fe,
600 MeV/amu 93 Nb and 593 MeV/amu 139 La ions were evaluated by analyzing …

The current framework of radiological protection of occupational exposed medical workers
reduced the eye-lens equivalent dose limit from 150 to 20 mSv per year requiring an …

Recent epidemiological findings and reanalysis of historical data suggest lens opacities
resulting from ionizing radiation exposures are likely induced at lower doses than previously …

X-irradiation of frog eyes with natural and experimentally induced differences in lenticular
mitotic activity reveals cataractogenesis to be dependent on the proliferative activity of the …

Background Accumulated body of evidence shows that ionizing radiation increases the risk
of cataracts. The mechanisms are not clear and the International Commission on …

Epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed that exposure to UV can induce
cataractogenesis. To investigate the mechanism of this induction, viability of the lens …
