The authors compare radiation risks of potential cancer following diagnostic radiation exposure evaluated with the use of organ and effective doses. Lifetime attributable risk values of CT scanning are estimated with the use of ICRP (Publication 103) risk models and Russian national medical statistics data. For populations under the age of 50, the risk evaluated using organ doses usually differs from that using effective doses by <30 %. In older populations, the difference can be up to a factor of 3. Calculated values of lifetime attributable cancer risk for particular organs are presented as well.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been revealed as a valuable approach against viral infections because of the fast therapeutic effect and low possibility of resistance development. The photodynamic inhibition of the infectivity of human herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain Victoria at different stages of its reproduction was studied. PDI activity was determined on extracellular virions, on the stage of their adsorption to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell line and inhibition of the viral replication stage by application of two tetra-methylpyridiloxy substituted gallium and zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPcMe and GaPcMe) upon 660 nm light exposure with a light-emitting diode (LED 660 nm).

The use of Raman spectroscopy, particularly surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), offers a powerful tool for analyzing biochemical changes in biofluids. This study aims to assess the modifications occurring in saliva collected from patients before and after exposure to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. SERS analysis revealed significantly amplified spectra in post-imaging samples compared to pre-imaging samples, with pronounced intensification of thiocyanate and opiorphin bands, which, together with proteins, dominated the spectra.

Numerous challenges are posed by the extra-terrestrial environment for space farming and various technological growth systems are being developed to allow for microgreens' cultivation in space. Microgreens, with their unique nutrient profiles, may well integrate the diet of crew members, being a natural substitute for chemical food supplements. However, the space radiation environment may alter plant properties, and there is still a knowledge gap concerning the effects of various types of radiation on plants and specifically on the application of efficient and rapid methods for selecting new species for space farming, based on their radio-resistance.

Irregular illumination is a newly discovered ambient factor that affects dietary and metabolic processes. However, the effect of the modulation of long-term light exposure on appetite and metabolism remains elusive. Therefore, in this current study, we systematically investigated the effects of up to 8 weeks of exposure to red (RL), green (GL), and white light (WL) environments on appetite, food preferences, and glucose homeostasis in mice on both high-fat and low-fat dietary patterns.
