Effects of chlorhexidine gluconate oral care on hospital mortality : a hospital-wide, observational cohort study [PDF]

, 2018
Chlorhexidine oral care is widely used in critically and non-critically ill hospitalized patients to maintain oral health. We investigated the effect of chlorhexidine oral care on mortality in a general hospitalized population.

Mortality from cancer and non‐cancer diseases in the Lithuanian cohort of Chernobyl cleanup workers (2001–2020)

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Following the Chernobyl disaster, workers were recruited from formerly Soviet‐occupied areas, including Lithuania, to participate in clean‐up efforts. Radiation exposure incurred by workers during these efforts offers a unique opportunity for the study of long‐term health effects.

Use of the TIPS Technique as a Possible Method of Acute Inhalation Toxicity Assessment

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute inhalation toxicity studies provide crucial information regarding short‐term exposure to volatile chemicals and help to ensure the safe handling and use of these chemicals. However, acute inhalation toxicity assessment requires specialized equipment, and most animal facilities are not able to carry out such studies.

Comparing Imaging Depth of Intravital Lung Imaging Using Perfluorocarbon‐Based Liquid Ventilation With Tissue Clearing for Deep‐Tissue Imaging

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Partial liquid ventilation with oxygenized perfluorocarbon (PFC) is used to assess the limitations of imaging depth, caused by the refractive index mismatch between air and surfactants in the mouse lung. PFC does not help to overcome this limitation. Only removing scattering lipids and decolorization ex vivo, with tissue optical clearing, enhance the ...

Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer: a scoping review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 106-118, March 2025.
This review article reports that quantification of hypoxic volumes using PET in the pre‐radiation therapy setting is of prognostic value and indicative of treatment response in non‐small cell lung cancer. Abstract Introduction Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and
