PurposeFibroblasts are considered to play a major role in the development of fibrotic reaction after radiotherapy and premature radiation-induced differentiation has been proposed as a cellular basis. The purpose was to relate gene expression profiles to

Abstract Dust, sea salt, and anthropogenic and biogenic particles in total atmospheric deposition are sources of essential elements that can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles in the Atlantic Ocean and in islands of the Caribbean region. This unique 41‐month data set records direct sampling of total atmospheric deposition from March 2015 to ...

Abstract Long‐distance aeolian dust transport represents one of the largest sediment fluxes on Earth, with North Africa being a dominant source. The island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean lies within major transport pathways but remains underexplored regarding multi‐proxy fingerprinting of deposited dust.

Radiogenic risk of colorectal cancer in the Southern Urals Population Exposed to Radiation Cohort
Colorectal cancer (colon, rectum, rectosigmoid and anus) is one of the most frequently registered cancer sites. Apart from main risk factors for the development of cancer of this localization (dietary disorders, obesity, alcohol and tobacco use, contact ...

Death of the ALARA Radiation Protection Principle as Used in the Medical Sector
ALARA is the acronym for “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” It is a radiation protection concept borne from the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis. There are no valid data today supporting the use of LNT in the low-dose range, so dose as a surrogate ...

Abstract The Ames impact structure (Oklahoma) is thought to have formed during the Ordovician Meteor Event, based on conodont biostratigraphy of its crater fill. Here, U–Pb zircon dates from its impact‐melt portion, conducted using secondary ion mass spectrometry and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (n = 37 spots), yield a ...

The LNT Issue Is About Politics and Economics, Not Safety
The Sykes commentary advocates “a more sensible, graded approach for protection from low dose ionizing radiation” until the LNT dose-response issue is resolved.

Isotopes can be characterized to be stable, cosmogenic, radioactive, or radiogenic. Stable isotopes do not change their relative abundance in the environment as long as no isotopes are added or extracted from the system.

Commentary: Ethical Issues of Current Health-Protection Policies on Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation
The linear no-threshold (LNT) model of ionizing-radiation-induced cancer is based on the assumption that every radiation dose increment constitutes increased cancer risk for humans.

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease and stroke, the two major causes of death in developed society. There is emerging evidence of excess risk of cardiovascular disease at low radiation doses in various occupationally exposed ...
