COVID-19-Associated Pneumonia: Radiobiological Insights

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia to acute respiratory distress syndrome is linked to a virus-induced “cytokine storm”, associated with systemic inflammation, coagulopathies, endothelial damage, thrombo-inflammation, immune system deregulation and ...

Radiation Effects on Satellites During Extreme Space Weather Events

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2018
High‐energy trapped electrons in the Van Allen belts pose a threat to the survivability of orbiting spacecraft. Two key radiation effects are total ionizing dose and displacement damage dose in components and materials, both of which cause cumulative and

Radiation effects on male fertility

open access: yesAndrology, 2018
Spermatogenesis is a process of dynamic cell differentiation. Ionizing radiation impairs spermatogenesis, and spermatogonia are more radiosensitive than spermatocytes or spermatids.

Cosmic optical activity from an inhomogeneous Kalb-Ramond field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The effects of introducing a harmonic spatial inhomogeneity into the Kalb-Ramond field, interacting with the Maxwell field according to a `string-inspired' proposal made in earlier work are investigated.

Responses of germination to light and to far-red radiation—can they be predicted from diaspores size? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper presents an update of a dataset of seed volumes previously released online and combines it with published data of the photoblastic response of germination of fruits or seeds (light or dark conditions), and of the effects of enhanced far-red ...

Effects of Omitting Non-confounding Predictors From General Relative-Risk Models for Binary Outcomes

open access: yesJournal of Epidemiology, 2019
Background: The effects, in terms of bias and precision, of omitting non-confounding predictive covariates from generalized linear models have been well studied, and it is known that such omission results in attenuation bias but increased precision with ...

Critical Review on Toxicological Mechanisms Triggered by Inhalation of Alumina Nanoparticles on to the Lungs

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) can be released in occupational environments in different contexts such as industry, defense, and aerospace. Workers can be exposed by inhalation to these NPs, for instance, through welding fumes or aerosolized ...

Late side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer

open access: yesRadiation Oncology Journal, 2020
Patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) experience significant early and long-term side effects. The likelihood and severity of complications depends on a number of factors, including the total dose of radiation delivered ...

Decoherence effects of motion-induced radiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The radiation pressure coupling with vacuum fluctuations gives rise to energy damping and decoherence of an oscillating particle. Both effects result from the emission of pairs of photons, a quantum effect related to the fluctuations of the Casimir force.

Radiation effects in the lung.

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1986
This article outlines the principles of radiobiology that can explain the time of onset, duration, and severity of the complex reactions of the lung to ionizing radiation. These reactions have been assayed biochemically, cell kinetically, physiologically, and pathologically.
