The risk of basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin cancer incidence and external radiation in the updated National Registry for radiation workers cohort in the UK. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? While ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main risk factor for non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), additional factors contribute to NMSC development. The present study examined the impact of occupational radiation exposure on NMSC risk among radiation workers in the United Kingdom.

Plant Acoustics for Evaluating Vase Life in Chrysanthemums: A Novel and Noninvasive Method. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Vase life is a key determinant of cut flower quality and market value. Conventional vase life assessment relies on visual inspection and physiological monitoring over several days to weeks, making it labor‐ and time‐intensive. This study introduces a rapid and noninvasive approach using plant acoustics to assess postharvest vase‐life‐related ...

Adverse Outcome Pathways Applied to Space Radiation Research. [PDF]

Environ Mol Mutagen
ABSTRACT Long‐duration spaceflight exposes astronauts to various stressors that can alter human physiology, potentially causing immediate and long‐term health effects. These stressors can damage biomolecules, cells, tissues, and organs, leading to adverse outcomes.

Foliar humic acid and salicylic acid application stimulates physiological responses and antioxidant systems to improve maize yield under water limitations

JSFA reports, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 119-128, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Humic acid (HA) is an organic acid that is naturally present in soil organic matter and improves nutrient availability and the mechanisms involved in plant growth and development. Likewise, salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone involved in the regulation of plant growth and development.

Long Bones Exhibit Adaptive Responses to Chronic Low‐Dose‐Rate Ionizing Radiation despite its Lifespan‐Shortening and Carcinogenic Effects on C57BL/6 Mice

JBMR Plus, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
The relationships among low‐dose‐rate (LDR) ionizing radiation (IR), long‐bone condition, cancer incidence, and lifespan shortening remain elusive. Thus, we performed micro–computed tomography scans of the long bones in high‐dose‐rate (HDR)‐ and LDR‐IR‐irradiated mice at comparable ages ABSTRACT Ionizing radiation (IR) is a well‐known carcinogen.

Environmental Chemistry of Radionuclides : Open Questions and Perspectives

ChemPlusChem, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Environmental radiochemistry and radioecology have intended to assess the impact and inventory of very low levels of radionuclide in specific ecosystems. But ultra‐trace environmental levels of metallic radionuclides on the one hand, and heterogeneity on the other have up until now formed the bottleneck in our efforts to input speciation data in ...

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Ecologically relevant radiation exposure triggers elevated metabolic rate and nectar consumption in bumblebees

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1822-1833, August 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Exposure to radiation is a natural part of our environment. Yet, due to nuclear accidents such as at Chernobyl, some organisms are exposed to significantly elevated dose rates.
