EFFECT OF RADIATION ON AGING PROCESSES AND TELOMERE LENGTH.

Telomeres are the ending areas of chromosomes - protective «caps» that ensure the stability of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is one of the most important biological signs of aging and is involved in cellular aging and the «mitotic clock» mechanism. One of the known mechanisms of the impact of radiation on the aging process is damage to telomeres by free radicals.

Hidden populations: risk behaviours in drug-using populations in the Republic of Georgia through subsequent peer-driven interventions.

Background: Georgia has a significant risk of ongoing HIV and HCV outbreak. Within this context, harm reduction aims to reduce risk associated with drug use through community activities, such as peer recruitment and involvement. The aim of this study was to identify significant differences between known and hidden populations, and attest to the ongoing utility of peer-driven intervention across multiple years in recruiting high-risk, vulnerable populations through peer networks.

IMPACT OF HOUSEHOLD MICROWAVE OVEN NON-IONIZING RADIATION ON BLOOD PLASMA CORTISOL LEVELS IN RATS AND THEIR BEHAVIOR.

In medical literature is known that the electromagnetic waves own a harmful effect on human organism. Is convinced shows that surround household microwave oven exist certain quantity of non-ionizing radiation leak. The aim of the present work is study the effect of non-ionizing radiation, emitted by household microwave oven, on the body weight, emotional and locomotor activity and cortisol blood plasma level in rats.

[COMPLEX STUDY OF BIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF TSKHALTUBO RADON WATER INHALATION].

The effect of EMF of high frequencies (mobile phones and computers) and the action of radon therapeutic procedures (phenomenological and influencing therapeutic factors) is not still generally known. In addition, we are constantly under the influence of different EMF frequencies, the study of which also deserves attention. The aim of the work is detailed analysis of alpha radiation Tskhaltubo water effect.
