Because of the increased recognition of the lifetime risks from the exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation, it is recommended that alterations be made to the currently accepted guidelines for prescribing radiographs for pregnant patients. Particularly so, because it has been shown that optimal radiographic practices in dental schools and dental offices are not universally followed.

January 2025
Center for Preventive Medicine and Digital Health, CPD, Division of Public Health, Social and Preventive Medicine, Medical Faculty Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: Due to the global rise in UV radiation, the prevalence of skin cancer is increasing significantly, with outdoor athletes being identified as a particularly vulnerable population group.
Methods: This nationwide, cross-sectional study was conducted among adult coaches from the 10 largest outdoor sports associations in Germany. Their applied prevention measures and the potential for further improvement in prevention were evaluated by guideline based scores (range [0-100]).

The diverse radiation types in medical treatments and the natural environment elicit complex biological effects on both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. Radiation therapy (RT) induces oncological responses, from molecular to phenotypic alterations, while simultaneously exerting toxic effects on healthy tissue. N-methyladenosine (mA), a prevalent modification on coding and non-coding RNAs, is a key epigenetic mark established by a set of evolutionarily conserved enzymes.

Environmental radiation is one of the key causes of the increased prevalence of infertility among couples. This type of radiation can be ionizing or non-ionizing. While ionizing radiation is known to cause sterility in both males and females, the role of low-energy non-ionizing radiation is still debated.

Background: The current gold-standard for detecting vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). However, VCUGs require ionizing radiation and bladder catheterization that can be challenging to perform and traumatic for pediatric patients and their parents.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a novel urinary catheter-free modality for diagnosing VUR using in vitro and ex vivo models.
Effect of amniotic fluid on hair follicle growth.
J Dermatolog Treat
December 2025
Acibadem Labcell Cellular Therapy Laboratory, Istanbul, Turkey.
Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) have shown significant regenerative potential in treating hair loss, wound healing, and tissue repair. This study aims to evaluate the effects of human amniotic fluid (hAF) on hair follicle (HF) regeneration and immune system modulation. The hAF used was pooled, acellular, and gamma-irradiated to standardize its contents and enhance its stability.
