Article Synopsis
- Kidney disease is becoming a major global health concern, with projections indicating it will rank as the fifth-leading cause of life lost by 2040.
- The research focuses on understanding the dose-dependent effects of electron irradiation on renal tissue, as the impact of this type of radiation is not well studied compared to others like gamma and X-rays.
- Findings show that higher doses of electron irradiation cause increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and significant damage to kidney tissue, including apoptosis and early fibrosis, highlighting the importance of managing radiation doses to protect kidney function.

Article Synopsis
- - Radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) is a serious side effect of radiotherapy used for abdominal cancers, particularly affecting the liver's crucial functions and limiting the overall effectiveness of treatment.
- - Electron beam therapy has shown promise in targeting tumors with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue, but the long-term effects on liver health and the potential for chronic damage need further research, especially regarding vitamin C's protective qualities.
- - A study involving male Wistar rats examined the impact of electron beam radiation and vitamin C on liver health, showing that radiation caused weight loss and liver mass reduction, while various biochemical and genetic analyses provided insights into how vitamin C might mitigate some of these adverse effects.
