Although charged particles in space have been detected with radiation detectors on board
spacecraft since the discovery of the Van Allen Belts, reports on the effects of direct …

Interventional radiology unit workers represent one of the occupationally most exposed
populations to low-dose ionizing radiation. Since there are many uncertainties in research of …

Purpose Rapid and reliable methods for conducting biological dosimetry are a necessity in
the event of a large-scale nuclear event. Conventional biodosimetry methods lack the …

Purpose To examine the extent of genetic damage, assessed from deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) double-strand breaks (DSBs) and micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood mononuclear …

In terms of biological dosimetry at the time of radiation exposure, the dicentric chromosome
(Dic) assay (DCA) is the gold standard for assessing for the acute phase and chromosome …

Abstract The United States radiation medical countermeasures (MCM) programme for
radiological and nuclear incidents has been focusing on developing mitigators for the acute …

The cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay can be employed in triage radiation biodosimetry
to determine the dose of radiation to an exposed individual by quantifying the frequency of …

Biodosimetry is an essential tool for providing timely assessments of radiation exposure. For
a large mass-casualty event involving exposure to ionizing radiation, it is of utmost …

Radiotherapy (RT) is an important treatment for cervical cancer. The quality of life of patients
undergoing RT may be compromised during and following treatment by nausea, diarrhea …

Normal eukaryotic cells contain a single nucleus. However, abnormal small nuclei known as
micronuclei (MN), additional to the main nucleus, may occur in cells that are exposed to …
