The accident that occurred at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant (Ukraine, 1986) contaminated a large extension of territory after the deposition of radioactive material. It is still under debate whether the chronic exposure to the radiation levels currently present in the area has long-term effects on organisms, such as decreases in longevity. Here, we investigate whether current levels of radiation in Chornobyl negatively impact the age of the Eastern tree frog .

Liposomes are widely used to improve chemotherapy safety, and may accurately deliver high-Z element- radiocatalytic nanomaterials to cancer tissues. In this study, the interaction between X-rays and long-circulating nanoliposome formulations loaded with gold nanoclusters is explored in the context of oxaliplatin chemotherapy for desmoplastic pancreatic cancer.

Studies on PAHs mainly concern adults, and very few have been carried out in South America. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study on PAHs in French Guiana, particularly among older adults.

In France, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine were reimbursed for subjects with ADRD, until 2 modifications of their reimbursement rate (2012, 2018). We aimed to study the consequences of these measures on ADRD subjects' healthcare use.

- Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) imaging shows great promise in clinical analysis by enabling fast and thorough elemental analysis of biopsy tissues, even at trace levels due to its hyperspectral capabilities.
- A new method called the convex envelope approach (IFF) was developed to identify rare elements in patient tissues without prior assumptions, a task difficult for traditional analytical tools.
- The innovative data analysis process successfully detected and mapped exotic elements like tin and rhodium in biopsies, suggesting a potential reclassification of patients' lung conditions as occupational diseases, showcasing LIBS as a valuable diagnostic tool in analytical chemistry.
