Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

19.0K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Necrosis

7.1K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Radiation: Applications

1.9K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Radiation synovectomy for rheumatoid arthritis can rarely cause tissue necrosis due to radionuclide leakage. Early recognition of skin necrosis following wrist radiation synovectomy is crucial for timely intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Intra-articular radiation synovectomy is a recognized treatment for inflammatory arthritis.
  • Radionuclide leakage is a rare complication, potentially causing local tissue damage.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis experienced skin necrosis.
  • The necrosis developed four weeks after radiation synovectomy of the left wrist.

Findings:

  • This case highlights skin necrosis as a rare but significant side effect of intra-articular radiation synovectomy.
  • Prompt diagnosis of these lesions is essential.

Implications:

  • Early identification of radiation-induced necrosis allows for prompt surgical or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • This underscores the importance of vigilance for rare complications in established rheumatologic procedures.
