Radiological risk assessment due to radon in bottled drinking water sold in Kahramanmaraş town, Turkiye.

This research aimed to measure radon activity concentrations in bottled drinking water (BDW) samples consumed in Kahramanmaraş town, Turkiye. Also, to evaluate the health risk that may occur as a result of internal irradiation resulting from ingestion and inhalation of radon in BDW samples, the total annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) for infants, children, and adults (1-2 y, 2-12 y, and > 17 y) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) for adults (> 17 y) had to be calculated. For these purposes, 32 water samples of different volumes belonging to 8 different commercial brands, representing a large part of the BDW consumed as drinking water and sold commercially in Kahramanmaraş were collected by purchasing from markets.

Introduction: Soft tissue lesions encompass a diverse category of diseases from benign to malignant, and their morphology might overlap; therefore, accurate categorization is needed to approach the reporting of soft tissue cytology. The cytology of these lesions is helpful in detecting the features of malignancy, which helps in guiding further management. In this study, we applied the proposed IAC-IARC-WHO cytopathology system to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) and diagnostic accuracy (DA) for the determination of its clinical and diagnostic utility.

Chronic Stress (Thousand Oaks)
March 2025
Department of Psychology, The New School for Social Research, New York, USA.
Background: Mass conflict and related displacement in South Sudan has created a significant mental health need, however extant research on the impact of conflict is limited among South Sudanese people and has predominantly relied on Western-developed self report measures.
Method: A total of 195 South Sudanese adults who work in both civil society and government leadership positions participated in a psychophysiological assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported PTSD and emotion dysregulation symptoms to participation in the Trauma-Informed Community Empowerment (TICE) Framework, developed and implemented by the Global Trauma Project (GTP). We utilized measures of heart rate variability to determine parasympathetic activity, which may be associated with difficulties responding to stressors as well as long-term physical health morbidity and mortality.
Significance: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 16% of all deaths. A common treatment is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), though up to 12% of bypass grafts fail during surgery. Early detection of graft failure by intraoperative graft patency assessment could prevent severe complications.

Division of Paediatric Surgery & Paediatric Urology, Department of Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Purpose: Prostatic utricle cyst (PUC) is known to be associated with hypospadias. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of PUC in children with proximal hypospadias by cystoscopy, and risk of symptom development after hypospadias repair.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent 2-stage repair for proximal hypospadias and had cystoscopy for PUC assessment over the period of January 2017-September 2022.
