Association between exposure to second-hand smoke and telomere length: cross-sectional study of 1303 non-smokers [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Both active smoking and second-hand smoke (SHS) are important risk factors for many age-related diseases. Active smoking is associated with shortened telomere length. However, whether SHS accelerates telomere attrition with age is uncertain.

Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2019 AbstractWorkplace exposure in colorectal surgery is unique compared with other surgical specialties and generally underreported. Although the most common device-associated exposure in surgery is suture needle injury, colorectal surgeons are increasingly exposed to gastrointestinal-related infectious agents, radiation, and other hazards in multiple ...

Distribution and Causes of Global Forest Fragmentation
Ecology and Society, 2003 Because human land uses tend to expand over time, forests that share a high proportion of their borders with anthropogenic uses are at higher risk of further degradation than forests that share a high proportion of their borders with non-forest, natural ...
