“…Regarding published reports ionizing radiation has harmful biological effects on living organisms and this effects increase depending on radiation dose and exposure time to radiation (9,(13)(14)(15)(16). In addition, our study shows that depending on radiation exposure, bone mineral density decreases significantly of all radiology workers compared to control group.…”

“…The relationship between exposures to low dose ionizing radiation and low bone mineral density is strong. This decrease changes depending on the time and level of radiation exposure of radiology workers (9). Animal experiments have shown that bone mineral density at exposed to radiation is lower and osteoporosis can occur (10,11).…”

BackgroundIn the literature, some articles report that the incidence of numerous diseases increases among the individuals who live around high-voltage electric transmission lines (HVETL) or are exposed vocationally. However, it was not investigated whether HVETL affect bone metabolism, oxidative stress, and the prevalence of thyroid nodule.MethodsDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) bone density measurements, serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), RANK, RANKL, osteoprotegerin (OPG), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), phosphor, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were analyzed to investigate this effect.ResultsBone mineral density levels of L1–L4 vertebrae and femur were observed significantly lower in the electrical workers. ALP, phosphor, RANK, RANKL, TOS, OSI, and anteroposterior diameter of the left thyroid lobe levels were significantly higher, and OPG, TAS, and FT4 levels were detected significantly lower in the study group when compared with the control group.ConclusionConsequently, it was observed that the balance between construction and destruction in the bone metabolism of the electrical workers who were employed in HVETL replaced toward destruction and led to a decrease in OPG levels and an increase in RANK and RANKL levels. In line with the previous studies, long-term exposure to an electromagnetic field causes disorders in many organs and systems. Thus, it is considered that long-term exposure to an electromagnetic field affects bone and thyroid metabolism and also increases OSI by increasing the TOS and decreasing the antioxidant status.

“…In spite of all such clinical uses it is considered to have many deleterious effects in vicinity of living organisms and biological environments, known as mercury toxicity. 9 Mercury is a toxic element which can damage various organs such as central nervous system, renal, respiratory and hematologic systems 10,11 . Some of the horrible threats of the mercury is its concentration in the brain tissues, and its hazardous effects on the nervous system, and its trace has been found in many diseases such as Alzheimer's 12 and Parkinson's disease, and more recently heart failure.…”

Context: This study has been conducted to study the effect of wifi radiations on amalgam restorations. Aims: To evaluate the release of mercury from class V cavities in presence of Wi-Fi radiations. Methods and Material: 20 extracted human molars were taken and standard cavity of class V was prepared. The 20 sample teeth were then put in two different groups .10 teeth were put into a control group which was kept in an environment devoid of Wi-fi radiation. The remaining 10 teeth were kept in an environment with exposure of Wi-Fi radiation for time period of 25 mins at 2.4 GHz radiation. The mercury concentration found in the artificial saliva in both the groups was measured by using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry ICPOES. Statistical analysis used: Statistic evaluation was done using independent t test. Results: The mercury release found in artificial saliva which was in experimental group of WiFi exposure had mean concentration of 0.046mg/L, while for control group the mean concentration recorded was only 0.022 mg/L. statistically significant difference was recorded (P =0.009). Conclusions: With presence of wi-fi radiations all around us the effect of this artificial radiation on amalgam needs to be studied and analysed carefully considering the number of amalgam fillings in patients mouth.

The Effects of Radiation on Bone Mineral Density of Radiology Workers Depending on The Device They Use

Abstract: Aim Result: According to the device they use, T-scores of radiology workers (in all groups) were lower than the control group meaningfully (p<0.01). Moreover, T-scores of mri workers was lower than conventional roentgen workers meaningfully (p<0.01). Respectively; MRI Show more
