Seeing the damage helps prevent dangerous UV exposure
The best way to persuade people not to risk sun tan damage is to actually show them the current state of their skins, rather than simply describing it. This is the finding reported in a paper given by Dr Frederick Gibbons, of Iowa State University, USA, in a symposium on risk perception today, Tuesday 3 July, at the European Congress of... view more...

GENETIC EVIDENCE FOR LINK BETWEEN COSMIC RADIATION AND LEUKAEMIA IN AIRCREW (p 2158)
The association between exposure to cosmic radiation and leukaemia among aircrew is strengthened by genetic research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Previous research by Maryanne Gundestrup and colleagues from the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Copenhagen, Denmark (Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukaemia and other cancers in... view more...

Certain ecologic factors associated with greater risk of bladder cancer
Persons drinking well water (as opposed to public supply) may be at an increased risk of bladder cancer, according to new research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Researchers will present data about the relationship between bladder cancer and certain ecologic factors including water source and UV radiation levels at the 104th Annual... view more...

Sunlight exposure plus low antioxidant levels may place older adults at risk for eye disease
A European study suggests that the combination of low plasma levels of antioxidants and blue light exposure from the sun is associated with certain forms of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
Equations against hypothermia
Sharks are, by tradition, the eternal threat facing divers. Yet, a diver is quite a lot more unlikely to meet such a creature under the water than, at some time or another, to come up against an even greater danger - hypothermia, or exposure. To enable divers to prevent this syndrome from creeping silently up on them, two researchers from the Area... view more... (2004-09-01)
Exposure to family violence compromises physical and mental health of older women
Older African American women exposed to high levels of family violence during their lifetimes are at significantly greater risk of poor health status, according to a report in the current issue of Journal of Women's Health, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. view more (2009-03-06)
Early environmental exposure may accelerate age-related neurodegeneration
Exposure to iron during the first weeks of life in combination with exposure later in life to a common herbicide may contribute to the subsequent degeneration of brain cells associated with the onset of Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study in mice. view more (2007-06-28)
Exposure to alkaline substances can result in damaged teeth
It has long been known that acids can erode tooth enamel but a new Swedish study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg shows that strong alkaline substances can damage teeth too - substances with high pH values can destroy parts of the organic content of the tooth, leaving the enamel more vulnerable. view more (2009-10-28)
Exposure to PCBs May Reduce the Effectiveness of Vaccines in Children
New epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to environmental pollutants may have an adverse impact on immune responses to childhood vaccinations. view more (2006-08-23)
Study links lead exposure to brain cancer in adults

Anthrax attack posed greater potential threat than thought
A new study shows that more people were at risk of anthrax infection in the Oct. 2001 attack on U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle's office than previously known. view more (2007-01-05)
Educating Physicians About Ventilation-Perfusion Scanning Leads to Reduced Patient Radiation Exposure
Educating physicians about ventilation-perfusion scanning (VQ) as an alternative to CT for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolisms led to a 23% decrease in patient exposure. view more (2009-04-24)
Agent Protects Parkinson's Neurons from Rotenone Toxicity
Researchers at the University at Buffalo affiliated with the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences have identified a novel agent that can protect neurons involved in Parkinson's disease from being destroyed by the pesticide rotenone. view more (2006-04-19)
