Comment on "Reproducibility study of Monte Carlo simulations for nanoparticle dose enhancement and biological modeling of cell survival curves" by Velten[Biomed Phys Eng Express 2023;9:045004].

This comment highlights two methodological issues with the recent article by Velten et al [Biomed Phys Eng Express 2023;9:045004]: First, the approach taken in this work with a local effect model (LEM) in 2D leads to a significant overstimation of the number of radiation-induced lesions. This results in order of magnitude smaller predicted survival rates compared to the conventional LEM. Second, the dose without nanoparticles is used as the 'macroscopic dose' against which cell survival is plotted.

There is ongoing debate about what policy approaches to cannabis use might best address health and social related harm. Profit-driven, adult-use cannabis markets have been introduced in the United States and Canada, where legalization reform has had mixed effects to date in terms of public health and has made limited progress in achieving social justice aims. Meanwhile, several jurisdictions have seen an organic evolution of alternative cannabis-supply regimes.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new dosimetry method using biomarker-based analysis to determine effective radioactive iodine treatment levels for patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (mDTC), relying on single-timepoint imaging of tumor uptake through I PET.
- Researchers conducted quantitative PET scans on 208 mDTC lesions from 21 patients to measure individual lesion radiation doses and created a predictive model showing that a 48-hour SUV measurement is the best predictor for the radiation dose each lesion receives.
- The findings demonstrate significant variability in radiation doses among lesions, suggesting a median dose of 22,000 cGy, and highlight the practicality of using I-PET imaging to personalize treatment plans for mDTC patients based on specific metrics obtained from just a single

Evidence that exposure to environmental pollutants can alter the gut microbiota composition of wildlife includes studies of rodents exposed to radionuclides. Antwis et al. (2021) used amplicon sequencing to characterise the gut microbiota of four species of rodent (Myodes glareolus, Apodemus agrarius, A.
