EVALUATION OF LENS DOSES AMONG MEDICAL STAFF INVOLVED IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE: CURRENT EYE RADIATION EXPOSURE AMONG NUCLEAR-MEDICINE STAFF

Evaluation of Lens Doses among Medical Staff Involved in Nuclear Medicine: Current Eye Radiation Exposure among Nuclear-Medicine Staff

The International Commission on Radiological Protection has lowered the annual equivalent eye-lens dose to 20 mSv.Although occupational exposure can be high in nuclear medicine (NM) departments, few studies have been conducted regarding eye-lens exposure among NM staff.This study aimed to estimate the annual lens doses of staff in an NM department

PDZD7-MYO7A complex identified in enriched stereocilia membranes

While more than 70 eggbutt genes have been linked to deafness, most of which are expressed in mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear, a challenge has been to link these genes into molecular pathways.One example is Myo7a (myosin VIIA), in which deafness mutations affect the development and function of the mechanically sensitive stereocilia of ha
