Characterization of the light and flexible nonlead aprons as an alternative to Pb-PVC. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background Radiation shielding is crucial for protecting healthcare professionals from scatter radiation during x‐ray procedures. Conventional lead aprons, although effective, are limited by their high weight, low flexibility, and potential toxicity.

Capture-enhanced neutron irradiation to treat Alzheimer's disease: Design of a small animal set-up for future in-vivo experiments. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of β$\beta$‐Amyloid and τ$\tau$ proteins in the brain that causes dementia. To date, there is no cure capable of eradicating AD, so it is necessary to study a performing therapy.
