The present study aimed to investigate the hydrogeochemical patterns and contamination of the radiogeology, especially radon activity, related to geothermal aquifer properties and to perform a risk assessment of annual effective doses covering all hydrothermal spring attractions in Southern Thailand. Radon is an established lung carcinogen; especially longer term exposure to radioactive radon through inhalation could be a cause of lung cancer risk. Altogether 22 hydrothermal spring samples were collected from the six hydrothermal provinces in Southern Thailand in early November of 2023.

Fluoride and nitrogen contamination is a global concern and has been a serious problem in agricultural areas. This study aims to identify the source of fluoride and nitrogen in the groundwater and assess groundwater quality and human health risks in the Guanzhong Plain, northwest China. The results showed that the concentrations were 0.

The uranium mines both developed and abandoned appear to be one of the most significant sources of radon exhalation in the world. Therefore, the study of radon exposure of the population in the areas around rehabilitated uranium mines is very important. This article presents the results of the radon release studies at the rehabilitated Beshtaugorsky uranium mine site, which is now used by local people for hiking and picnicking.

Advances in bladder cancer (BCa) treatment have been hampered by the lack of predictive biomarkers and targeted therapies. Here, we demonstrate that loss of the tumor suppressor NUMB promotes aggressive bladder tumorigenesis and worsens disease outcomes. Retrospective cohort studies show that NUMB-loss correlates with poor prognosis in post-cystectomy muscle-invasive BCa patients and increased risk of muscle invasion progression in non-muscle invasive BCa patients.
