Book excerpt: Die Strahlenbiologie hat sich von einem Forschungszweig, mit dem sich noch vor wenigen J ahrzehnten nur die Strahlentherapeuten und vereinzelte Biologen beschaftigten, zu einem Arbeitsgebiet entwickelt, das die gesamte Medizin und weiteste Gebiete der Biologie interessieren muB. Auf dem Gebiet der Radiologie wird die Radiobiologie von zwei verschiedenen Richtungen gefOrdert. Einerseits - hier ist der Ursprung dieser vVissenschaft zu suchen - ergeben sich aus der klinischen Beobachtung Fragestellungen, die man auf experimentellem \Veg zu beantworten versucht. Andererseits bearbeitet eine besondere Gruppe von Biologen, die vornehmlich die ionisierende Strahlung als Instru ment benutzt, ihre Probleme. Beide Gebiete haben enge Verbindung, sollten sich gegen seitig fOrdern und konnen auch vereint, sogar durch dieselbe Person, ihre praktische Auswirkung erfahren. Zuerst haben die Radiologen ihre mannigfaltigen Probleme selbst aufzuklaren versucht. Mit zunehmender Verbesserung und Verfeinerung der Methode hat sich im Rahmen der Radiologie die besondere Arbeitsrichtung der Radiobiologie ausgesondert, die heute zum Teil eigene Wege geht. Die Radiobiologie gewinnt fur die Strahlentherapie immer mehr an Bedeutung, so daB man versucht ist, die Hoffnung auszudrucken, daB die Radiobiologie berufen sein wird, die Radiotherapie aus der empiri schen Sphare in eine exakt fundierte zu fum'en. In noch starkerem MaB hat sich auf dem Gebiet der Radiodiagnostik die Situation gewandelt. Ohne grundliche radiobiologische Kenntnisse kann die Anwendung ionisierender Strahlen fUr Untersuchungszwecke heute nicht mehr verantwortet werden. Die Nuclearmedizin vereinigt auf radiobiologischem Gebiet die Forderungen, die fur Radiotherapie und -diagnostik aufgestellt wurden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Radiation Biology presents a contemporary, comprehensive review of the interactions between ionizing radiations and biological materials, tracking the consequences to three inevitable endpoints: cell restitution, cell death, or cell transformation.The introductory narrative is followed by examination of larger scale phenomena including tissue responses to radiation injury, organ failure modes, and resultant human illness including cancer. Ultimately, Fundamentals of Radiation Biology considers circumstantial radiation incidents impacting biological systems including radiological terrorism and radiation pollution remediation. Chapters presenting an overview of carcinogenesis and radiation therapy techniques based in radiobiology discuss two significant expansions central to the concerns of the text.This book takes an unprecedented narrative approach to radiobiology; each chapter expands on the fundamentals surveyed previously to lead the reader steadily to a panorama of radiation biocomplexity. No biological event happens in isolation. Actions evoke reactions that alter structures and cause living systems to adapt. It also examines the components constituting mammalian radiation response machinery and correlates them with resultant physiological behaviors.

Book excerpt: Bei der Konzeption des Bandes Strahlenbiologie gingen die Herausgeber von der Annahme aus, daB sich der derzeitige Stand des Faches in zwei Teilbanden befriedigend darstellen lasse. Dabei war Teil 1 den primaren chemischen und biochemischen Auswir kungen ionisierender Strahlen auf Zellen und Zellbestandteile, den genetischen Effekten und generellen Faktoren der Strahlenwirkung, wie in der relativen biologischen Wirksam keit und dem Zeitfaktor zugedacht; Teil 2 sollte die Phanomenologie der Strahlenwirkung auf Einzeller und Vielzeller, insbesondere die Pathomorphologie und -physiologie der Saugetiere einschlieBlich des Menschen, darstellen. Spatestens nach Eingang der letzten Manuskripte zeigte sich dann, daB trotz sorg faltiger Planung noch einige erhebliche Lucken offen geblieben waren, die einen dritten Teil notwendig machten. Das ergab sich vor allem aus der rapiden Entwicklung mancher Gebiete der Strahlenbiologie, und zwar gerade solcher, die fur die klinische Radiologie wachsende Bedeutung gewonnen haben. Einige Themen sind in der Zwischen zeit sozu sagen handbuchwurdig geworden. Besondere Fragestellungen und Ergebnisse, die in den bisherigen Beitragen oft nur angeschnitten oder unter einem besonderen Aspekt behandelt worden waren, forderten nunmehr eine geschlossene Darstellung.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biological action of radiation undoubtedly constitutes an issue of actual con cern, particularly after incidences like those in Harrisburg or Chernobyl. These considerations, however, were not the reason for writing this book although it is hoped that it will also be helpful in this respect. The interaction of radiation with biological systems is such an interesting research objective that to my mind no special justification is needed to pursue these problems. The combination of physics, chemistry and biology presents on one hand a fascinating challenge to the student, on the other, it may lead to insights which are not possible if the dif ferent subjects remain clearly separated. Special problems of radiation biology have quite often led to new approaches in physics (or vice versa), a recent example is "microdosimetry" (chapter 4). Biological radiation a9tion comprises all levels of biological organization. It starts with the absorption in essential atoms and molecules and ends with the development of cancer and genetic hazards to future generations. The structure of the book reflects this. Beginning with physical and chemical fundamentals, it then turns to a description of chemical and subcellular systems. Cellular effects form a large part since they are the basis for understanding all further responses. Reactions of the whole organism, concentrating on mammals and especially humans, are subsequently treated. The book concludes with a short discussion of problems in radiation protection and the application of radiation in medical therapy. These last points are necessarily short and somewhat superficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Radiation Biology, Volume 9, provides an overview of the state of knowledge in radiation biology. The book contains nine chapters and begins with a study on the ways in which physical and chemical agents might trigger "regulatory dysfunction" and how these agents might interact with each other. This is followed by separate chapters on the mechanisms underlying changes in vascular function after doses of radiation in the therapeutic range and their role in the development of late effects in normal tissues; the future of hypoxic cell sensitizers in the clinical setting; DNA strand break formation by ionizing radiation; and major pathways which result in radiation-induced loss of cellular proliferative capacity. Subsequent chapters deal with the solid-state radiation chemistry of DNA; radiosensitivity of proliferating mammalian cells; the use of microwave/radiofrequency energy cancer treatment; and the decline of basic radiobiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There can hardly be any doubt that radiation will continue to be an im portant factor in our lives. Present and future advances in atomic tech nology urgently require further work on research and development in the field of radiation biology if the maximum benefit is to be obtained at minimal risk from the various kinds of radiation that form a major by product of nuclear processes. Consequently, it is also necessary to prepare students and younger scientists for doing such work. The present book originates from teaching experience gained in lectures, seminars, and discussion groups started by the undersigned in 1957 and more recently held together with Drs. Dertinger and Jung. The friendly comments given to the German edition made us feel that it might be worth while to put the results of our efforts at the disposal of those to whom English is more familiar. In agreement with the view, based on well-known facts, that most if not aIl of the more striking practical achievements have resulted from patient and careful investigations into some basic problem, the book aims at introducing the reader to the methods of thought and experiment used in molecular radiation biology as weIl as to the results obtained thereby.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In print since 1972, this seventh edition of Radiobiology for the Radiologist is the most extensively revised to date. It consists of two sections, one for those studying or practicing diagnostic radiolo, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology; the other for those engaged in the study or clinical practice of radiation oncology--a new chapter, on radiologic terrorism, is specifically for those in the radiation sciences who would manage exposed individuals in the event of a terrorist event. The 17 chapters in Section I represent a general introduction to radiation biology and a complete, self-contained course especially for residents in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine that follows the Syllabus in Radiation Biology of the RSNA. The 11 chapters in Section II address more in-depth topics in radiation oncology, such as cancer biology, retreatment after radiotherapy, chemotherapeutic agents and hyperthermia. Now in full color, this lavishly illustrated new edition is replete with tables and figures that underscore essential concepts. Each chapter concludes with a "summary of pertinent conclusions" to facilitate quick review and help readers retain important information.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1971 we were involved in a study of the interaction of radiation with matter and were trying to use measurements of radiation fluorescence in biological molecules to indicate how radiation affected living cells. It soon became apparent that we were working in the dark; the doses we used to get a significant signal were too large to be of interest for radiation biology and although the DNA molecule appeared to be the most likely target molecule we did not know which sort of events and which sort oflesions were the most important. We decided to alter our approach to see if we could find any consistent mathematical order in the radiobiological dose relationships. We found that cell survival curves could be very usefully described by a linear-quadratic dose relationship and very soon came to the somewhat premature but, as it turned out, most effective conclusion that the induction of DNA double strand breaks should be linear-quadratic. In deciding that the DNA double strand break was the crucial and all-important lesion we were able to associate the mathematical analysis with the biology of the cell and were able to relate known properties of the DNA molecule to known radiobiological effects. On the other hand, we were restricted and brought, from an abstract two-hit lesion which could have any property one wished, down to earth, to a defined moleccular structure of nanometer dimensions and well-known functions and properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of A.H.W. Nias' successful book provides an updated and revised introduction to quantitative radiobiology, particularly, to those aspects of the subject which have a practical application. Radiation is used to cure cancer but can also cause it. Radiation is also used in medical diagnosis and in nuclear power stations. In these areas, where questions of benefit and detriment arise, the biological effects of the radiation can now be predicted. There are few aspects of life where risk estimates are so firmly founded on quantitative data. This is not only because of the precision with which radiation dose can be measured but also because of the large body of radiobiological observations which have been made since X-rays were discovered. Written by a scientist with many years experience in the field, An Introduction to Radiobiology will appeal to a wide variety of readers who need to understand the mechanisms by which ionizing radiation causes cellular damage. It will be of interest to technologists in radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiography, cancer research students and technicians, medical physicists, trainee radiotherapists and nuclear medicine specialists. Reviews of the First Edition: "In summary, this is an excellent general text that should fill an important gap in many teaching needs, especially those where the major focus is on the biological effects of radiation on humans." Journal of the National Cancer Institute "This is undoubtedly one of the better introductions to the subject which I have read, and I would certainly recommend it not only to beginners but also to mature students of the subject."
