Meeting Report Sex Differences in Radiation Research
CONCLUSIONS: This meeting highlighted that current study designs lack the power to determine statistical significance based on sex, and much is unknown about the underlying factors that contribute to these differences. Investigators should accommodate both sexes in all stages of research to ensure that the outcome is robust, reproducible, and accurate, and will benefit public health.PMID:37991728 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2283089 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Characterization of the long-term effects of lethal total body irradiation followed by bone marrow transplantation on the brain of C57BL/6 mice
CONCLUSIONS: Overall health of the mice did not seem to be majorly impacted by TBI followed by BMT during adulthood. Yet, TBI-induced alterations in the brain and behavior could lead to erroneous conclusions on the function of a protein on immune cells when comparing mouse chimeras with different genetic backgrounds that might display altered susceptibility to radiation-induced damage. Ultimately, the BMT model we here present could also be used to study the related long-term consequences of TBI and BMT seen in patients.PMID:37976378 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2283092 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields exposure on sleep patterns in preterm neonates
CONCLUSIONS: Despite no consolidated disruption in sleep structure, this study is the first to show that some sleep parameters seem to have a certain sensitivity to chronic - but not acute - RF-EMF exposure in preterm newborns. Further studies are needed to confirm our results and examine possible mid- to long-term, sleep-related cardiorespiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes.PMID:37972294 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2277365 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Effects of ionising radiation exposure in offspring and next generations: dosimetric aspects and uncertainties
CONCLUSIONS: Based on standards developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a review of the scientific studies used by the UNSCEAR to estimate the risk of hereditary effects, and by the ICRP in its current recommendations, was conducted to evaluate the way dosimetry was reported. Dosimetry and the related uncertainties were not adequately described in the vast majority of those studies. This does not necessarily mean that they do not provide relevant information, however it prevents from a t...

Mitigation of acute radiation syndrome (ARS) with human umbilical cord blood
CONCLUSION: UCB holds substantial potential as a radiation countermeasure, and future research should focus on establishing treatment parameters for ARS victims.PMID:37967239 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2277372 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)
