Article Synopsis
- - There is growing public concern about the risks associated with increased X-ray examinations in medicine, yet some doctors may not fully understand these dangers.
- - The study focuses on strategies to minimize harm from X-ray exposure and aims to raise awareness about its risks, emphasizing the importance of reducing the frequency and dosage of X-ray tests.
- - Recommendations include using alternatives to X-rays when possible and carefully weighing the risks versus benefits when X-ray procedures are necessary, particularly for sensitive populations like children.
Article Synopsis
- Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used imaging method, but its radiation levels can vary based on factors like the body part being examined and the patient population.
- There is ongoing debate among researchers and physicians about the potential cancer risk associated with low-dose CT scans, highlighting the need for careful consideration of research contexts and patient exposure.
- The review article aims to educate healthcare professionals about the risks of low-dose CT radiation and encourage strategies to minimize unnecessary exposure to patients.
Behcet disease combined with Sjogren syndrome: A unique case report and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)
March 2018
Rationale: Behcet disease(BD) and Sjogren syndrome(SS) are separate conditions that rarely concomitantly affect an individual. In theory,mild symptoms of patients with BD or SS are easy to igore and,thus,remain undiagnosed. There,it is reasonable to believe there may be some clinical cases of combined diseases that go undiscovered and which needs to be taken seriously.

Patients with AS usually develop spontaneous pneumothorax several years after the diagnosis of AS. The present study reports the unusual case and complicated clinical history of a 29-year-old man with recurrent pneumothorax and AS, who developed CML following repeated exposure to low doses of radiation via diagnostic X-rays and chest computed tomography imaging.

Progress in modern medicine has led to an increased risk of therapeutic and diagnostic radiation exposure of patients. Although clear evidence of a radiation dose-dependent risk of chronic myeloid leukaemia, particularly for patients exposed to radiation at a young age, has been established, it is not known whether radiation exposure during diagnostic imaging also increases the risk of cancer.
