Assessment of radiation exposure risks in patients undergoing elastic stable intramedullary nailing: Insights from intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Introduction: Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is a well-defined and appropriate treatment of choice for long bone fractures. Despite its benefits, the risk of cancer from imaging devices is of particular concern for younger adults. So, this survey was conducted to estimate the doses administered to patients undergoing ESIN of long bone fractures utilizing a 2-dimensional (2D) C-arm fluoroscopy machine during surgery, as well as the carcinogenic risk associated with the use of the machine.

An old issue and a new look: electromagnetic hypersensitivity caused by radiations emitted by GSM mobile phones.

University students use mobile phones frequently. We previously showed that there was no association between mobile phone use and EMF health hazards among university students. As our previous study was based only on self-reported symptoms this double-blind study was designed to answer two basic questions.
