Non-cancer disease mortality and risk analysis among medical X-ray workers in China
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease death risk. The total non-cancer disease mortality ...

Evaluation of occupational radiation exposure of cardiologists in interventional radiography in Mashhad CATHLABs
Several studies have revealed that interventional radiography procedures performed in cardiology departments are high dose techniques. In this study, effective dose of cardiologists working in hospitals Catheterisation Laboratories (CATHLABs) in Mashhad city have been measured during Coronary Angiography (CA) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. In order to ...

A New Device to Markedly Reduce Cardiac Cath Lab Radiation Levels
Background: Exposure of the heart team to scatter radiation is a serious environmental risk in the cardiac cath lab. While spot shielding reduces operator exposure, its effectiveness in reducing overall room scatter radiation (SR) levels, particularly during imaging with angulated x-ray views, is limited. We evaluated the effectiveness of a new, passive protection system (the EggNest) to reduce ...

Introduction and Detection Methods for Phytochemicals
What Are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are natural compounds that have only been discovered so far and are natural food pigments. The human body is unable to produce them and must obtain them from food. Soy isoflavones in soybeans, lycopene in tomatoes, catechins in green tea, carotenoids in carrots, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., are all phytochemicals. Classification and Functions of Common ...

How Fluoropolymers are Being Used in Cardiac Procedures
Your three main coronary arteries are responsible for bringing blood to the heart. When they start to become blocked, it can weaken the heart and eventually lead to a heart attack if the blockage isn't addressed and there isn't enough blood supply to the heart. On the left side of the heart, there are two coronary arteries responsible for providing rich blood supply to the heart to ensure it ...

Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...

What’s the difference between a heart attack, cardiac arrest and heart failure?
While heart attack, cardiac arrest and heart failure can sometimes be related, they’re actually three very different types of cardiac emergencies. Cardiac arrest, heart attack and heart failure — three terms that are familiar to most people, but often get confused with one another. While there can be some overlap between them in terms of cause and effect, they are actually three ...

CD Genomics Perspective: RNA Sequencing, A Powerful Method for Studying Various Diseases
Although post-mortem brains have been frequently reported as the "gold standard" in transcriptomic research for ND and neuropsychiatric abnormalities, the main sources has been mRNA separated from transgenic animal models and, more lately, patient-derived cell lines. However, despite their promise, transcriptome studies are difficult due to the obvious difficulties in obtaining brain tissue and ...

Landmark study confirms that controlled blood pressure is key to prevent stroke, heart disease
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering ...
