Radiosensitization

Radiosensitization is a phenomenon in which the body becomes more sensitive to the effects of radiation. This can occur with both short-term and long-term exposure to ionizing radiation.

Radiosensitizing effects can manifest as various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, weakness, loss of appetite, etc. In addition, radiosensitizers can cause mutations in cells, which can lead to the development of cancer.

One of the most well-known radiosensitizers is chlorpromazine, which is used as an antipsychotic. However, in high doses it can cause radiosensitization.

In addition, some drugs, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin and others, can be radiosensitizers.

Overall, radiosensitization is a serious and dangerous phenomenon that can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions when working with radioactive materials and use radiation protection equipment.

Introduction

Radiosensitization is a phenomenon when exposure to radio waves on the human body leads to the development of any diseases or worsening of existing ones. Exposure to radio waves can be caused by the operation of various equipment that transmits and/or receives radio signals in a given frequency range. Radio radiation can penetrate skin, bones, and soft tissues, creating a negative impact on human health.

One of the most common areas of application of radio emissions is radio communications, where data transmission occurs using radio signals on short and medium waves. With prolonged exposure to radio waves, various diseases associated with damage to tissues and organs of the body can occur. For example:

Skin diseases. It is known that the skin is the main protective shell of our body. However, radio waves have a negative effect on the skin, causing skin diseases such as acne, eczema and others. This is due to the destruction of proteins and skin cells, changes in its structure and function. Damage to bones and cartilage. Prolonged exposure to radio waves can cause damage to bone and cartilage tissue. Emerging diseases, for example, arthrosis and osteochondrosis, are caused by changes in the biochemical composition
