Basic anatomical and physiological data for use in radiological protection : reference values
TLDR
This report presents detailed information on age- and gender-related differences in the anatomical and physiological characteristics of reference individuals to provide needed input to prospective dosimetry calculations for radiation protection purposes for both workers and members of the general public.Abstract:

Revised Estimates for the Number of Human and Bacteria Cells in the Body.
Ron Sender,Shai Fuchs,Ron Milo +2 more
TL;DR: This analysis updates the widely-cited 10:1 ratio, showing that the number of bacteria in the body is actually of the same order as the numberof human cells, and their total mass is about 0.2 kg.

Are We Really Vastly Outnumbered? Revisiting the Ratio of Bacterial to Host Cells in Humans
Ron Sender,Shai Fuchs,Ron Milo +2 more
TL;DR: It is often presented as common knowledge that bacteria outnumber human cells by a ratio of at least 10:1, but it is found that the ratio is much closer to 1:1.

TL;DR: All tissues and organs were reconstructed as three-dimensional unstructured triangulated surface objects, yielding high precision images of individual features of the body, which greatly enhances the meshing flexibility and the accuracy in comparison with the traditional voxel-based representation of anatomical models.

Scientific Opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in foodstuffs: Executive summary
TL;DR: The CEF Panel concluded that there is no health concern for any age group from dietary exposure and low health concern from aggregated exposure, although considerable uncertainty in the exposure estimates for non-dietary sources was relatively low.

Body fat assessed from total body density and its estimation from skinfold thickness: measurements on 481 men and women aged from 16 to 72 years
J. V. G. A. Durnin,J. Womersley +1 more
TL;DR: Skinfold thicknesses at four sites – biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac – and total body density were measured on 209 males and 272 females aged from 16 to 72 years, finding it necessary to use the logarithm of skinfold measurements in order to achieve a linear relationship with body density.
