Richard W Harbron,Richard W Harbron,C.-L. Chapple,John O'Sullivan,Kate E. Best,Amy Berrington de Gonzalez,Mark S. Pearce,Mark S. Pearce +7 more
TL;DR: Based on recent UK radiation dose levels, the risk of cancer following cardiac catheterisations is relatively low and strongly modified by survival and the type of procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paternal occupational exposure to electro-magnetic fields as a risk factor for cancer in children and young adults: a case-control study from the North of England.
TL;DR: This work investigated whether an association exists between paternal occupations at birth involving such exposures and cancer risk in offspring, using data from the Northern Region Young Persons' Malignant Disease Registry (NRYPMDR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Choonsik Lee,Mark S. Pearce,J Salotti,Richard W Harbron,Mark P. Little,Kieran McHugh,C.-L. Chapple,Amy Berrington de Gonzalez +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that mAs for head and trunk CTs was approximately halved starting around 1990, and age-specific mAs was generally used for paediatric scans after this date, which will have substantially reduced the radiation exposure to children from CT scans in Great Britain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of socio-economic status and mobility on perceived family functioning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated perceptions of current family functioning in relation to current household income level, educational status, social-class at birth and social mobility over the lifecourse.
Journal ArticleDOI
