Melatonin is a free-radical scavenger and antioxidant. Roentgen irradiation of testis (animal model formed of albino rats) was associated with destruction and depletion of the germinal epithelial cells. In roentgen-irradiated, melatonin-pretreated animals, these changes were markedly ameliorated. Thus administration of melatonin before irradiation can protect testis from some of the destructive effects of roentgen irradiation.

Roentgen findings in subphrenic abscess, in the order of their specificity and clinical value, are subphrenic air-fluid level, elevation and restriction of motion of the diaphragm, pleural reaction with congestion, segmental atelectasis or pneumonitis at the lung base and upper abdominal mass. Less frequently there may be empyema or bronchopleural fistula. Suppression of the infection by antibiotics may protract the course and obscure the clinical findings. Serial x-ray and fluoroscopic studies are recommended when a patient who has had rupture of a viscus or previous abdominal operation does not completely recover or has a persistent lowgrade fever.

BACKGROUND
Ninety years after the Dutch theoretical physicist H.A. Lorentz died, detailed investigation of his scientific heritage yielded the set of nine original prints of radiographs that W.C. Roentgen made during his experiments and had sent him, among half a dozen other scientists, on January 1, 1896.
MAIN TEXT
Through communications with different experts and literature research, the author describes these nine prints and how they relate to the first publication Roentgen wrote about his discovery of the X-rays.
CONCLUSIONS
The combination of Roentgen's first publication on his X-ray discovery and the nine radiographs provides insight as to which aspects of the discovery were considered important by Roentgen and how he carried out the experiments to be able to describe these aspects.

INTRODUCTION
Radiation was discovered just slightly more than a century ago, with a profound effect on both industry and medicine. Several notable scientists were key in bringing radiation to the forefront.
METHODS
Historical review of scientists who played key roles in the discovery of radiation and its use in medicine are reviewed.
RESULTS
Wilhelm Roentgen, Henri Becquerel, and Marie and Pierre Curie's work is reviewed. The field of radiation safety was born to protect those handling radiation in addition to patients who received radiation for medical purposes.
CONCLUSION
Radiation use in medicine continues to evolve after notable discoveries by Nobel Prize-winning scientists.
