Study on rapid radon determination method based on small scintillation chamber
The scintillation chamber with high detection efficiency is the main method for radon measurement, but it needs to stand for 3h after sampling before starting measurement.

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Measurement Error in Exposure Assessment: An Error Model and its Impact on Studies on Lung Cancer and Residential Radon Exposure in Germany [PDF]
Case-control studies on lung cancer and residential radon exposure had been conducted in Germany. Relative risk estimates from primary analysis were now subject to accounting for uncertainties in radon exposure and in the most potent confounder smoking.

222Radon carcinogenesis: Risk estimation in different working environments
Background: Occupational exposure to radon in working environments should be considered as chronic because the subjects involved undergo the effect due to the ionizing radiation from the same gas and decay products.

Carcinogenic and Cocarcinogenic Effects of Radon and Radon Daughters in Rats.
It has been previously established that lung cancer could be induced in rats by exposure to radon and radon daughters. Although the oat-cell carcinomas that are common in humans were not found in rats, other histological types of lung carcinomas, especially squamous cell carcinomas and primitive lung adenocarcinomas, were similar to those observed in ...

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...
