Article Synopsis
- A systematic review was conducted to better understand the adverse health outcomes and risk factors affecting military and law enforcement personnel.
- The review analyzed 34 systematic reviews, encompassing data from 43 countries, identifying 26 adverse health outcomes and 220 underlying risk factors.
- Key findings included various health issues such as PTSD, depression, obesity, and injuries, highlighting the importance of addressing these factors for improved prevention strategies.
Background: Young women treated with chest radiation therapy (RT) for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) experience a strongly increased risk of breast cancer (BC). It is unknown whether endogenous and exogenous gonadal hormones affect RT-associated BC risk.
Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study among female 5-year HL survivors treated before age 41.
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are increasingly recognized as late effects of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) and to quantify the effects of radiation dose to the heart, chemotherapy, and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study in a cohort of 2,617 5-year HL survivors, treated between 1965 and 1995.
Purpose: To describe a new method to estimate the mean heart dose for Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated several decades ago, using delineation of the heart on radiation therapy simulation X-rays. Mean heart dose is an important predictor for late cardiovascular complications after Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment. For patients treated before the era of computed tomography (CT)-based radiotherapy planning, retrospective estimation of radiation dose to the heart can be labor intensive.

The device shows high sensitivity to low radiation levels of electrons with energies down to 200 eV when measurements are performed at room temperature where the dark count rate can be as low as 10 Hz. An implicit guard ring, using an n-enhancement implantation in the central region of the diode, is applied, and this gives a very uniform sensitivity across the whole front-entrance window.
