Abstract

Ionizing radiation, with 18% from man-made sources, is widely used in medical imaging, posing significant hazards. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice of 125 radiology staff in Basrah, Iraq, using a cross-sectional design from February to June 2023. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS version 26. Results showed 66.4% of respondents had good knowledge, with higher scores among males and those with higher education, particularly doctors. Positive attitudes were seen in 95.2% of participants, but correct practices varied significantly, and 88.8% had not undergone training on radiation hazards. The study underscores the need for improved training and education to enhance radiation safety awareness and practices. Highlights: Knowledge Levels: 66.4% showed good radiation hazard knowledge. Training Gaps: 88.8% lacked radiation safety training. Education Impact: Higher education, especially doctors, improved knowledge and practices. Keywords: Ionizing Radiation, Radiation Hazards, Radiology Staff, Knowledge Assessment, Safety Practices

Abstract

Background: For obese individuals having significant non-bariatric surgery, better preoperative weight loss techniques are required. Objectives: To identify the efficacy of a three-week low-calorie diet in decreasing liver volume pre-laparoscopic sleeve surgery. Methods: Twenty-five morbidly obese individuals who were scheduled for LSG participated in this interventional trial. Every patient was instructed to adhere to a low-calorie, restrictive diet for three weeks, and their liver span was measured by ultrasonography before and after the regimen. The end measurements were the effects of the preoperative diet on liver span and liver enzymes (ALT and AST). Results: Liver span is significantly reduced as a function of diet. Weight and body mass index showed a favorable correlation with changes in liver size. Liver enzyme levels significantly increased. Conclusion: A low-calorie diet successfully decreased liver size for three weeks before bariatric surgery. Highlights: Evaluate 3-week low-calorie diet's effect on liver size before surgery. 25 obese patients followed low-calorie diet; liver span measured pre/post. Diet reduced liver size, correlated with weight, but increased liver enzymes. Keywords: Sleeve Surgery, Liver Volume, Three weeks, Efficacy
