Radiation exposure in endovascular infra-renal aortic aneurysm repair and factors that influence it

Abstract Objective: The endovascular repair of aortic abdominal aneurysms exposes the patients and surgical team to ionizing radiation with risk of direct tissue damage and induction of gene mutation. This study aims to describe our standard of radiation exposure in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair a...

Digital orthodontic radiographic set versus cone-beam computed tomography: an evaluation of the effective dose

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the equivalent and effective doses of different digital radiographic methods (panoramic, lateral cephalometric and periapical) with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Precalibrated thermoluminescent dosimeters were placed at 24 locat...

Effects of low-level laser therapy on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Low-Level Laser Therapy stimulates the proliferation of a variety of types of cells. However, very little is known about its effect on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). Objective This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different laser therapy energy densities on SH...

¿Es eficiente la protección anti-radiación otorgada por gorros de pabellón de tungsteno-bismuto en cardiología intervencionista?

Rev. méd. Chile; 144 (7), 2016
Background: The effectiveness against radiation of tungsten bismuth caps, used in interventional cardiology is not well known. Aim: To determine the degree of radiation protection conferred by these caps in real work conditions. Material and Methods: We compared the gross electric charges received at bra...

Corrección de índice de dosis en tomografía computarizada por parámetro de diámetro efectivo según reporte 204 de la Asociación Americana de Físicos Médicos

Rev. chil. radiol; 22 (2), 2016
Abstract. In order to have a more accurate estimation of the dose delivered for computed tomography (CT) studies, and given that the current dose estimates do not include the size of the patient, a retrospective study was conducted on a sample of 388 patients from the radiology department of a general ho...

¿Son reproducibles las mediciones dosimétricas a bajas dosis en cardiología intervencionista?

Rev. chil. radiol; 22 (2), 2016
Abstract. There are several methods for measuring the absorbed radiation dose of occupationally exposed professionals, but it is unknown if these are reproducible at low doses. The aim of this study is to determine the level of reproducibility of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) and optically stimulate...

The effect of amifostine on bacterial translocation after radiation induced acute enteritis

Acta cir. bras; 31 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of amifostine on bacterial translocation and overgrowth in colonic flora after acute radiation enteritis in a rat model. METHODS: Thirty-two female Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Group-1 (n=8): only normal saline was administered intrape...

Avaliação da radiação espalhada e do impacto dos dispositivos locais de proteção em laboratório de cardiologia intervencionista

Introdução: As aplicações médicas representam a maior fonte de exposição radiológica ionizante e, neste contexto, é de especial importância a questão do risco profissional. Embora existam diferentes sensibilidades à radiação dos distintos órgãos do corpo humano, avaliações específicas ...

Influência de diferentes densidades de energia do laser de baixa intensidade em fibroblastos derivados da polpa de dentes decíduos

O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os efeitos de diferentes densidades de energia e irradiâncias do Laser de Baixa Intensidade (LBI), variando em função do tempo de irradiação e potência, na viabilidade e proliferação de fibroblastos derivados da polpa de dentes decíduos humanos (HPF). HPF f...

Effect of irradiation with different laser wavelengths on oxidative stress of non-hepatectomized rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (supl.1), 2016
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of two laser wavelengths, either separate or combined, on intact rat livers. METHOD: Nineteen male Wistar rats (200-300 g) were submitted to laser irradiation at 5 different sites on the liver surface.Wavelengths 660 and 780 nm were used, with a dose of irradiation of 60 J/...
