Disease relevance of Accidents, Radiation

• GM-CSF may possibly be helpful in the treatment of victims of radiation accidents and in patients with acquired neutropenias and glykogenosis IB [1].

High impact information on Accidents, Radiation

• Chernobyl. Pact for nuclear accidents [2].
• Potassium iodide: effectiveness after nuclear accidents [3].
• These individuals include those exposed to radiation resulting from nuclear accidents, the use of depleted uranium missiles, and astronauts undertaking space travel [4].
• These findings suggest that isogladine maleate can be applied for the alleviation of intestinal damages in heavily irradiated people by radiation accidents [5].
• Use of hematopoietic growth factors in radiation accidents [6].

Associations of Accidents, Radiation with chemical compounds

• A radiation accident involving a cesium-137 therapy source occurred in Goiania (Brazil) in September 1987, in which more than 50 individuals were exposed to moderate to high doses (0.2-7 Gy) of gamma-radiation [7].
• The results show that the geographical distribution is similar to that of iodine-131 after the nuclear accident [8].
• Exposure to the radioactive isotope 95Zr, as in nuclear accidents, and to stable zirconium, due to its use in industry, has increased the interest in the biokinetics of this element [9].
• For agriculturally used areas, which are contaminated by the debris from a nuclear accident, the use of chemical amendmends (e.g. potassium chloride and lime) is among the most common soil-based countermeasures [10].
• The role of Poison Control Centers in radiation accidents [11].

Gene context of Accidents, Radiation

• Application of the MAX/EGS4 exposure model to the dosimetry of the Yanango radiation accident [12].
• Radiation accidents. Part I. Review [13].
• The concept is illustrated by the simulation of hypothetical nuclear accidents at the Paks NPP, in Central Hungary [14].
• Dose estimation by ESR spectroscopy at a fatal radiation accident [15].
• The role of NHS hospitals in the preparedness for nuclear accidents [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Accidents, Radiation

• Three workers at a San Salvador 60Co irradiation facility were victims of a radiation accident, resulting in the amputation of a leg from two workers [17].
