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.
This study aimed to investigate the expression of the immediate-early response 5 (IER5) gene in cervical cancer tissues and explore the association between the expression of IER5 and the clinical outcomes of radiotherapy. We collected specimens by surgery or biopsy and obtained 53 specimens from tissues after radiotherapy and 16 specimens from tissues before radiotherapy. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to assess the protein expression levels of IER5.
