Pathology Radiation

Radiation pathology is a set of diseases, pathological processes and conditions caused by exposure of the human body to ionizing radiation, which can be caused by various sources of radiation, such as nuclear reactors, cosmic rays, radioisotopes, etc.

Exposure to radiation can lead to various diseases such as radiation sickness, cancer, leukemia, genetic mutations and others. Radiation can also cause damage to cells and tissues, which can lead to the development of various diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease and other organ diseases.

Various methods are used to protect against radiation, such as the use of protective materials, reducing the time of exposure to radiation, using personal protective equipment, etc. However, despite all precautions, radiation exposure still remains a serious problem for human health and the environment.

Radiation pathology is a set of diseases that can arise as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation on the human body. This concept includes a wide range of health problems caused by radioactive substances.

Ionizing radiation can come from natural and artificial sources. Natural sources may include cosmic rays, solar radiation, or radioactive substances found in the environment. Man-made sources include nuclear facilities, medical radiological research, and nuclear weapons testing.

When a person is exposed to X-rays or other types of radiation, changes occur in the tissues of the body, which can lead to various diseases. These illnesses can range from mild to severe, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure.

The most common radiation pathology is radiation sickness. Radiation sickness manifests itself in various symptoms depending on the degree of radiation and the duration of its exposure. It can manifest itself as symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, as well as headache, weakness, drowsiness, and high fever. In severe forms of radiation sickness, bleeding, skin ulcers, disorders of the internal secretion organs, and even loss of consciousness and death can occur.

Other associated pathological processes include radiation burns, wounds, bone fractures, eye cataracts, lung cancer, and with long-term exposure, thyroid cancer.

Radioactive injury and exposure (radiation injury) is a severe radiation-induced pathology of a person or animal (organism), in which there is almost always radioactive contamination of these organisms, as well as products taken from them (including tissues, blood). The phrase “radiation damage” is essentially identical to the term “radio destruction”, since the latter is also used to designate a pathological condition (physiological disaster, tragedy) in the event
