Title: ACUTE RADIATION SYNDROME DIAGRAM
Description: Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS), also known as radiation sickness, is a condition that occurs after exposure to a high dose of ionizing radiation over a short period. It primarily affects rapidly dividing cells in the body, such as those in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system. The severity of ARS depends on the dose, duration, and area of exposure. Symptoms develop in distinct stages: an initial prodromal phase with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea; a latent phase where symptoms temporarily subside; a manifest illness phase with severe effects such as infections, bleeding, dehydration, and neurological damage; and finally, recovery or death, depending on the severity and medical intervention. Treatment involves managing symptoms, preventing infections, and supporting recovery through measures like blood transfusions, antibiotics, and stem cell therapy. Preventive strategies include minimizing radiation exposure and following strict safety protocols in high-risk environments.
