Biological effectiveness of combined exposure to neutrons and gamma radiation applied in two orders of sequence: Relevance for biological dosimetry after nuclear emergencies by Tomas Palmqvist, Milagrosa Lopez-Riego, Martin Bucher, Ursula Oestreicher, Stefan Pojtinger, Ulrich Giesen, Iuliana Toma-Dasu, Andrzej Wojcik

“…Conclusions: The results demonstrate that combined exposure to neutrons and gamma radiation, regardless of the order of sequence, leads to an additive response at both endpoints. This indicates that calibration curves for mixed beams can be constructed from dose response relationships of the single beam components.…”

The influence of maternal gestational weight gain on adverse perinatal outcomes by Qingshan Yan, Qingshan Yan, Wenya Cai, Wenya Cai, Yong Guo

“…The subjects were grouped according to different GWG, and logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of GWG on adverse outcomes, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), large-for-gestational-age infants (LGA), small-for-gestational-age infants (SGA), and preterm births.ResultsAmong the 9058 participants included in the study, there were 438 cases (4.8%) of HDP, including 266 cases (2.9%) of gestational hypertension and 172 cases (1.9%) of preeclampsia. Additionally, there were 2018 cases (22.3%) of GDM; Among the adverse birth outcomes for newborns, the prevalence was 9.7% for SGA, 9.9% for LGA, 1.4% for early/mid-term preterm births, and 4.2% for late preterm births. …”

Effect of Double Masking with Silk or Cotton Over-masks on the Source Control Capabilities of a Surgical Mask by Adam F. Parlin, Mikhail Yermakov, Samuel M. Stratton, Susan R. Reutman, Theresa M. Culley, Patrick A. Guerra, Sergey A. Grinshpun

“…Not only can double masking reduce viral or bacterial transmission, but it can also promote surgical mask longevity, thereby reducing global waste and pollution associated with the use of disposable surgical masks. Finally, an additional study with five human subjects revealed no significant differences in perceived comfort (measured by proxies such as relative humidity, temperature, and CO2 level inside the mask) between single masking and double masking, as well as between double masking with either a silk or cotton over-mask.…”

Hypertension and retinal microvascular dysfunction (HyperVasc): protocol of a randomised controlled exercise trial in patients with hypertension by Justin Carrard, Lukas Streese, Timo Hinrichs, Henner Hanssen, Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss, Konstantin Gugleta, Joséphine Gander, Christoph Hauser

“…However, it is still not clear whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is recommendable for patients with hypertension to reduce blood pressure, increase cardiorespiratory fitness and ameliorate vascular health.Methods and analysis The ‘Hypertension and retinal microvascular dysfunction’ trial will investigate macrovascular and microvascular impairments in hypertensive patients compared with healthy controls to investigate hypertension-induced end-organ damage by using gold-standard methods as well as newly developed unique retinal microvascular biomarkers. In addition, this trial will investigate the reversibility of retinal end-organ damage by assessing the effects of an 8-week supervised and walking based HIIT on blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness as well as macrovascular and microvascular health, compared with a control group following standard physical activity recommendations. …”
