Job burnout among Polish dentists: the role of sensory processing sensitivity and emotional intelligence.

Objectives: Job strain in dentistry makes the profession highly susceptible to occupational burnout. People with high sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) perceive workplace as more stressful and more demanding. Emotional intelligence (EI) is both a trait and an ability, which helps individuals adapt to the environment and reduces burnout.

Exosome secretion and cellular response of DU145 and PC3 after exposure to alpha radiation.

Exosomes are spherical membrane nanovesicles secreted from cells, and they play an important role in tumor immune response, metastasis, angiogenesis, and survival. Studies investigating exosomes isolated from cells exposed to photon radiation commonly used in conventional radiotherapy demonstrate the influence of this type of radiation on exosome characteristics and secretion. There is currently no research investigating the effects of densely ionizing particles such as protons and alpha radiation on exosomes.

Brownian Motion Influence on AFM Exosomes' Size Measurements.

Extracellular vesicles are evaluated by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), providing information on their hydrodynamic diameters, and by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to calculate their geometric diameters. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of Brownian movements in a sample drop and preparation time on imaging-based measurements and to determine the relationship between the geometric and hydrodynamic sizes of the extracellular vesicles measured by the AFM and the NTA, respectively. Exosomes derived from the human prostate cancer cell line PC3 were evaluated by NTA and AFM, and those results were compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
