TL;DR: Past experiences suggest that common issues were not necessarily physical health problems directly attributable to radiation exposure, but rather psychological and social effects.

TL;DR: To overcome difficulties of risk communication and provide decision aids to protect workers, vulnerable people, and residents after a nuclear disaster, physicians should receive training in nuclear disaster response, which should include evidence-based interventions.

TL;DR: The Fukushima accident was a compounding disaster following the strong earthquake and huge tsunami and caused severe psychological distress in the residents from evacuation zones, and lifestyle-related problems such as an increase proportion of those overweight, an increased prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia and changes in health-related behaviours among evacuees may lead to an increased cardiovascular disease risk in the future.

TL;DR: Both the AWS and ATQ may be suitable devices for difficult intubation by inexperienced personnel in this manikin simulated scenario and further studies in a clinical setting are necessary to confirm these findings.

TL;DR: Large-scale mass US screening of young people resulted in the diagnosis of a number of thyroid cancers, with no major changes in overall characteristics within 5 years of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station accident, suggesting that US screening can identify many detectable cancers from a large pool of nonclinical and subclinical thyroid cancers among individuals of a relatively young age, in an age-dependent manner.
