Mortality among Tennessee Eastman Corporation (TEC) uranium processing workers, 1943-2019

John D. Boice et al.

Summary: This study investigates the health effects of uranium exposure on female workers during World War II. The results suggest that inhalation of uranium dust may increase the risk of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, but the impact of radiation on lung cancer risk is not significant.

Summary: This article summarizes presentations from a session on Radiation and Circulatory Effects at the Radiation Research Society Online 67(th) Annual Meeting. The talks showed that low/moderate doses of radiation can be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, there is uncertainty in the epidemiological results.

Lydia B. Zablotska et al.

Summary: This article summarizes a virtual symposium on the radiation risks of the central nervous system. It discusses the potential neurological complications and psychological consequences of repeated low-dose radiation exposure, emphasizing the need for further research in this area. The symposium highlights new directions for studying mental health disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and cognitive impairment related to radiation exposure, including occupational exposures and exposures to galactic cosmic rays.

Exposure to Ionizing Radiation and Risk of Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Tanvi Srivastava et al.

Summary: The number of people living with dementia is increasing due to longer life expectancy. There is a potential association between radiation and dementia, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. This is particularly important in the contexts of medical and occupational radiation exposure, as well as long-term manned space travel.

Ionising radiation and cardiovascular disease: systematic review and meta-analysis

Mark P. Little et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the radiation associated risks of cardiovascular disease. The results showed a causal association between radiation exposure and cardiovascular disease, especially at high dose. However, the heterogeneity among studies complicates the interpretation of the findings and further research is needed to explore the modifications of radiation effect by lifestyle and medical risk factors.

Summary: This study conducted dose-response analysis on the causes of death among early uranium processing workers and found a positive correlation between radiation dose and kidney cancer, and a negative correlation with lung cancer. Additionally, dust measurements were associated with lung diseases.

Michael T. Mumma et al.

Summary: This study presents the methodology used to determine vital status and obtain cause of death (COD) in the Million Person Study of Low-Dose Health Effects (MPS). Multiple sources of vital status information were used to trace study participants, and high confirmation rates for vital status and cause of death were achieved.

Evaluation of statistical modeling approaches for epidemiologic studies of low-dose radiation health effects

Ashley P. Golden et al.

Summary: This study compared different statistical models for evaluating the risks of occupational radiation exposure on leukemia and ischemic heart disease. The results showed similar risk estimates from Cox and Poisson models when appropriately controlling for age. This is important for studying mortality in cohorts occupationally exposed to radiation.

A million persons, a million dreams: a vision for a national center of radiation epidemiology and biology

John D. Boice et al.

Summary: Epidemiological studies of radiation-exposed populations are crucial for establishing human safety standards and shaping public health policies. The Million Person Study (MPS) focuses on examining health effects following chronic radiation exposure and has provided some insights into the potential risks associated with low-level exposure. Future collaborations and the establishment of a National Center for Radiation Epidemiology and Biology are envisioned for a more comprehensive evaluation of radiation effects.

Methods of improving brain dose estimates for internally deposited radionuclides * MEMORANDUM

Richard W. Leggett et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the research conducted by the US National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements on improving dose estimates for brain tissue for internally deposited radionuclides, focusing on the limitations of current dosimetric models in estimating brain radiation dose. The study suggests that developing biokinetic models with explicit sub-models of the brain could improve dose estimation of nuclides and provide more accurate data support for related research in radiation epidemiology.

Deep Breaths: A Systematic Review of the Potential Effects of Employment in the Nuclear Industry on Mortality from Non-Malignant Respiratory Disease

Cato M. Milder et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the existing evidence for the effects of radiation on non-malignant respiratory disease in global nuclear worker cohorts. The findings suggest that the relationship between radiation exposure and non-malignant respiratory disease is unclear in nuclear workers, and different exposure profiles may lead to inconsistent results.

Accuracy of death certificates for recording parkinsonian syndromes and associated dementia

Summary: This study found that death certificates often do not accurately record information about Parkinsonism or associated dementia, therefore epidemiological studies should not solely rely on death certificates to identify cases or study mortality.

Ischaemic heart and cerebrovascular disease mortality in uranium enrichment workers

Jeri L. Anderson et al.

Summary: The study examined the dose-response relationships between radiation absorbed dose to the lung from uranium and external sources and circulatory system disease mortality in US uranium enrichment workers. The results indicated a modestly increased risk of ischaemic heart disease mortality with high internal uranium lung dose and significantly increased risk with external dose exceeding 150 mGy. Non-linear dose-response models showed sublinear responses, suggesting linear models may not accurately describe the association between uranium dose and circulatory system disease mortality.

Summary: Pooling individual-level data from uranium processing workers revealed increased risks of various diseases such as lung cancer, respiratory diseases, renal diseases, ischemic heart diseases, and dementia and Alzheimer's disease due to long-term exposure to uranium and external ionizing radiation. This study represents the largest investigation to date on the long-term health risks of uranium processing workers.
