Medical staff represent the largest group of workers occupationally exposed to ionizing
radiation (IR). Chronic exposure to low-dose IR may result in DNA damage and genotoxicity …

Studies have shown an increased risk for a variety of cancers, specifically brain cancer, in
healthcare workers occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation. Although the mechanisms …

In this study, the effect of ionizing radiation on 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in
human peripheral blood was investigated. Blood samples were collected from 230 radiation …

Background Ionizing radiation (IR) is high-energy radiation that has the potential to displace
electrons from atoms and break chemical bonds. It has the ability to introduce mutations …

Background Studies of breast cancer etiology suggest evidence that night shift working and
occupational exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) are defined risk factors for breast cancer …

Background: Ionizing radiation is well known to cause oxidative stress which is responsible
for various health hazards. Controlling healthcare workers' exposure and raising attention …

Looking at the development status of Nigeria and other developing nations, most low-
