Novel nanotech antioxidant cocktail prevents medical diagnostic procedures ionizing radiation effects.

Ionizing radiation (IR) exposure results in oxidative damage causing cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most significant DNA lesions induced by ionizing radiation. The present study evaluates the radio protective effect of a novel antioxidant cocktail through quantification of DSB in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in vivo.

[MANAGING LUNG CANCER PATIENTS' CARE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC].

Background: Lung cancer patients who contract the new coronavirus, appear to have a greater risk for severe COVID-19 illness along with early deterioration and death. However, the prognosis may depend on the cancer stage and the type of treatment administered.

Objectives: Establishing updated treatments and care management regulations for lung cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on worldwide clinical experience.
