Rosmarinic Acid Protects the Testes of Rats against Cell Phone and Ultra-high Frequency Waves Induced Toxicity.

Background: Cell phone and Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) waves produce oxidative stress and cause testicular toxicity. This investigation was directed to evaluate the effectiveness of Rosmarinic Acid (RA) against oxidative stress caused by UHF radiation in rats.

Methods: Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups.

Dosimetric parameters calculation for 18 MV photon beam in flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter free (FFF) linear accelerators with and without magnetic deflector and lead filter.

Dosimetric characteristics of the flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter free (FFF) modes of 18 MV therapeutic photon beam were investigated with and without the magnetic deflector (MD) and lead filter. MCNP version 6.1.

Comparison of the Effects of Rosmarinic Acid and Electromagnetic Radiation-Induced Cardiotoxicity on Rats.

Background: Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) causes stable aggregation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), producing oxidative stress. Rosmarinic acid (RA), a plant-origin antioxidant, has been proposed against the side effects of cell phone and ultrahigh-frequency waves.

Methods: Forty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups.

Impact of radiobiological models on the calculation of the therapeutic parameters of Grid therapy for breast cancer.

Therapeutic advantages of Grid therapy have been demonstrated in several theoretical studies using the standard linear-quadratic (LQ) model. However, the suitability of the LQ model when describing cell killing at highly modulated radiation fields has been questioned. In this study, we have applied an extended LQ model to recalculate therapeutic parameters of Grid therapy.

Evaluation of the Scan Duration and Mechanical and Thermal Indices Applied for the Diagnostic Ultrasound Examinations.

Objective: Although epidemiological studies have failed to show the harmful effects of ultrasound in humans, as a form of energy, ultrasound has the potential to cause bio-effects in tissues. Therefore, clinical guidelines have been established for ultrasound technology related to human safety, which include Thermal (TI) and mechanical (MI) indices. The appropriate TI and MI ranges for embryonic examinations are between 0-1.

The radio-protective effect of rosmarinic acid against mobile phone and Wi-Fi radiation-induced oxidative stress in the brains of rats.

Background: Rosmarinus officinalis L. is an aromatic perennial herb from which rosmarinic acid (RA) can be extracted. This research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of RA against radio frequency (RF) radiation-induced oxidative stress due to 915 MHz (mobile phone) and 2450 MHz (Wi-Fi) frequencies in rats.

Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Techniques in Prostate Cancer and Prostatitis.

Background: Considering the non-invasive nature of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and its ability to detect prostate lesions, the present study aimed to investigate the accuracy of MRS techniques in distinguishing between prostate cancer (PCa) and prostatitis.

Methods: Thirty-three patients (18 patients with PCa and 15 patients with prostatitis) were recruited for this study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRS were performed using 1.

The possible global hazard of cell phone radiation on thyroid cells and hormones: a systematic review of evidences.

The aim of this review was to investigate the effects of possible harmful waves from either cell phone use or being within the range of the cell phone from 450 to 3800 MHz on the thyroid cells and hormones. Eight electronic datasets were systematically searched using MeSH terms, including "cell phone," "mobile phone," "GSM," "radio frequency," "smartphone," "triiodothyronine," "thyroxin," "thyroid-stimulating hormone," "T3," "T4," "TSH," and "morphological" and all possible combinations, to identify relevant studies published up to Dec 2018. We also manually searched the reference lists of potentially selected studies to identify further relevant publications.

A Study on Radiation Dose Received by Patients during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy.

Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is considered as the method of choice for treatment of most stone diseases. The present study aims to evaluate radiation dose received by patients undergoing ESWL.

Methods: In total, 46 patients from both genders were referred to the Shohadaye Ashayer hospital of Khorramabad, Iran and were included in the present study.

Calculation of Equivalent Square Fields in Radiation Therapy by an Improved Vadash Correction Factor for Collimator Exchange Effects.

Background and objectives: To determine the head scatter factor, a formalism presented by Vadash and Bjärngard has been employed to assess collimator exchange effects. The aim of this study was to determine the best Vadash correction factor (A) by introducing a new method based on the output factor measured in air for different square and rectangular fields. Materials and Methods: A new simple mathematical method based on selection of the best dosimetric data was proposed to obtain the A value for Vadash to predict the equivalent square field size.
