Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Evaluation of radionuclide concentrations and average annual committed effective dose due to medicinal plants and soils commonly consumed by pregnant women in Osukuru, Tororo (Uganda)

Saphina Biira et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the activity concentrations and annual committed effective dose from ingestion of medicinal plants and soils by pregnant women, focusing on the impact on infants. Samples from Uganda were analyzed for natural radionuclides Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40, with findings indicating potential risks to infants when consuming medicinal soils during pregnancy.

Uranium (U) source, speciation, uptake, toxicity and bioremediation strategies in soil-plant system: A review

Li Chen et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the sources, geochemical behavior, uptake, toxicity, detoxification, and bioremediation strategies of Uranium in soil-plant systems. It highlights mining activities as the main source of soil Uranium contamination, with Uranium mainly accumulating in plant roots but being translocated to aerial parts in some species. Plants tolerate Uranium toxicity through various defense mechanisms.
