TL;DR: This is the largest analytical epidemiological study of the effects of low-dose protracted exposures to ionizing radiation to date, and shows a strong healthy worker survivor effect in these cohorts.

TL;DR: Estimates of risk of cancer after protracted low doses of ionising radiation after nuclear workers in the largest study of nuclear workers ever conducted are higher than, but statistically compatible with, the risk estimates used for current radiation protection standards.

TL;DR: The widespread use of cellular telephones has generated concern about possible adverse health effects, particularly brain tumors, but in this population-based case-control study carried out in three regions of Germany, no overall increased risk of glioma or meningioma was observed among these cellular phone users.

TL;DR: It is found that subjects with a reported history of increased sun exposure, for example, painful sunburns, and an increased number of holidays in foreign countries with a sunny climate had significantly higher nevus counts than individuals without these characteristics.

TL;DR: There was no increase in mortality that could be attributed to cosmic radiation or other occupational exposures to any substantial extent among airline cabin crew in Europe, and the risk of skin cancer among male crew members requires further attention.
