Individual information was collected about cataract risk factors and past and present workload in catheterization laboratory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Furthermore, Table 4.2 presents threshold doses estimated formally in the three recent epidemiological papers of very high quality. [icrp.org]

The clinical presentation of a radiation cataract is different from most age-related or other form of lens opacity. [omicsonline.org]

Snapshot A 35-year-old man presents to the general surgeon's office with pain in his right groin. He recently noticed a bulge in this region after performing heavy weight lifting at the gym. [step1.medbullets.com]

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide, especially in the third world where surgical treatment is unavailable. [omicsonline.org]

We recommend a minimal interval of 9 months between completion of treatment of retinoblastoma and cataract surgery. [bjo.bmj.com]

Their treatment is tailored to accomplish maximal reproductive and sexual function with minimal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Call your doctor if you experience new symptoms or if side effects occur after treatment. [healthline.com]

The visual prognosis is limited by initial tumour involvement of the macula and by corneal complications of radiotherapy. We recommend a minimal interval of 9 months between completion of treatment of retinoblastoma and cataract surgery. [bjo.bmj.com]

The visual prognosis is mainly limited by the initial macular involvement by the tumour and ocular complications of radiotherapy. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

For example, a growing number of human epidemiological findings suggest significant risk among various groups of occupationally and accidentally exposed individuals and confidence intervals that include zero dose. [osti.gov]

However, ICRP clearly states that the recommendations are chiefly based on epidemiological evidence because there are a very small number of studies that provide explicit biological, mechanistic evidence at doses <2Gy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Furthermore, Table 4.2 presents threshold doses estimated formally in the three recent epidemiological papers of very high quality. [icrp.org]

Very few epidemiological studies have been published on the risk of cataracts in interventional radiology (including procedures for interventional cardiology). [bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com]

Anatomy Hesselbach triangle borders References:[3] Pathophysiology Direct inguinal hernia Acquired condition Caused by weakening of the transversalis fascia Medial to the inferior epigastric blood vessels (within Hesselbach triangle) Hernial sac protrudes [amboss.com]

Thus, these findings suggest that LSD be very useful for prevention of cataract during radiotherapy for malignant lymphoma of orbit and ocular adnexa. [dbpia.co.kr]

Continued Prevention You can't prevent being born with a weaker abdominal wall. But you can take steps to avoid having problems because of it, such as not smoking and keeping your weight in check. [webmd.com]

See Slideshow Is it possible to prevent direct and indirect hernias? In many cases, it is impossible to prevent inguinal hernias as the weakness in the abdominal wall is present since birth. [medicinenet.com]

A fuller understanding of how exposure to relatively low doses of IR promotes induction and/or progression of IR-induced cataracts will have important implications for prevention and treatment of this disease, as well as for the field of radiation protection [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
