Biventricular device implantation was responsible for the highest radiation exposure. However, radiation exposure during those procedures have decreased as compared to previously reported values.doi:10.1016/S1878-6480(16)30222-1Paul BruAntoine Dompnier...
We were unable to account for certain risk factors for thyroid cancer, such as family history or history of ionizing radiation, as this information is not reliably available in large electronic medical record abstractions. We were also unable to identify the level of education or the occupational ...
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive oxidative gas formed by chemical reactions in the atmosphere involving oxides of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds and driven by solar radiation. In urban areas with high traffic density, nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are commonly high and often negatively ...
Nevertheless, short latency periods have been reported for cancers associated with exposure to chemicals in adults16 and exposure to radiation in children.17 We hypothesized that any exposure-related cancers would be more likely to emerge at least 5 years after September 11 and thus divided the ...

Several studies have demonstrated that mobile telephones that use different technologies, such as Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), have the potential to influence the functionality of active electronic implants, including cardiac pacemakers. Ac...
Over one million European children undergo computed tomography (CT) scans annually. Although moderate- to high-dose ionizing radiation exposure is an established risk factor for hematological malignancies, risks at CT examination dose levels remain uncer
Introduction With greater reliance on medical imaging by clinicians,1 concern has been raised about the effects of ionizing radiation to a fetus during pregnancy.2,3 There is general acceptance that whenever possible clinicians should choose an imaging modality during pregnancy that has little or no ...
Awareness of the human health impacts of exposure to air pollution is growing rapidly. For example, it has become evident that the adverse health effects of air pollution are more pronounced in disadvantaged populations. Policymakers in many jurisdictions have responded to this evidence by enacting ...
information on potential confounders, such as alcohol use, radiation exposure and genetic susceptibility, and a paucity of smoking data. Consistently elevated risks of about 1.5 for AML and smoking suggest smoking is not a potent confounder (Siegel 1993). The lack of a strong relationship between ...
