Micro-nano carriers offer new opportunities for inhalable drug delivery to the lungs, enabling efficient transport across multiple biological barriers for the treatment of pulmonary diseases. Herein, we developed an inhalable microsphere system, RP@BDC, with multilevel responsiveness, designed to meet ...
This buildup of fluid between the lungs and the chest wall can cause chest pain and shortness of breath. Research shows that radiation causes pleural effusions in 67% of cancer patients. The effusions occur on the same side of the chest. This likely results from inflammation and scarring ...
This treatment can cause side effects, but they're different for everyone. The ones you have depend on the type of radiation you get, how much you get, the part of your body that gets treatment, and how healthy you are overall. There's no way to predict how radiation will affect you....
including pneumonitis and the latter fibrosis. It had great impact on long term quality of life and could result in fatal respiratory insufficiency. At present the usual method for it are corticosteroids and cytokine inhibitor. But the side effects of such drugs were also evident. Therefore, ident...
[32] observed an increase in sister chromatid exchanges in rats that were previously exposed to alpha-particle emitting radon and suggested that clastogenic factors might have been translocated from the lungs to the bone marrow of rats that were exposed to alpha-particles. Although the plasma ...
Radiation effects are not limited to the lungs. In the mediastinum, radiation effects includethymic cysts, calcified lymph nodes, and injuries to the esophagus. Cardiovascular complications have also been described; their onset is usually late and gradual. These injuries include prematurecoronary artery...
For the NASA Artemis I mission, 16 of these M-42 detectors were applied to measure the radiation load either on the surface of the MARE female phantoms (Helga and Zohar) or directly positioned at the most radiosensitive organs (lungs, stomach, uterus, spine). M-42 was powered with two ...

Radionuclides produced in various sources (already discussed in Section 2) have direct or indirect effects on human health with prolonged exposure. The ill effects of nuclear radiation can be (1) short term recoverable effects-affecting the skin, lungs, reproductive organs and loss of hair; (2)...
Solubility is a key factor in the retention of radionuclides in the lungs. Soluble materials translocate readily from the lung to the blood, where, based on their elemental characteristics, the radionuclides are carried to tissues or organs. For example, inhaled strontium in ionic form is ...
