sources and effects of ionizing radiation
TL;DR: This annex is aimed at providing a sound basis for conclusions regarding the number of significant radiation accidents that have occurred, the corresponding levels of radiation exposures and numbers of deaths and injuries, and the general trends for various practices, in the context of the Committee's overall evaluations of the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation.

Radiobiology for the Radiologist
TL;DR: This text is a general introduction to radiation biology and a complete, self-contained course especially for residents in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine that follows the Syllabus in Radiation Biology of the RSNA.

TL;DR: Estimates of ‘practical’ threshold doses for tissue injury defined at the level of 1% incidence are provided and it appears that the rate of dose delivery does not modify the low incidence for reactions manifesting very late after low total doses, particularly for cataracts and circulatory disease.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Mutation and Cancer: Statistical Study of Retinoblastoma
TL;DR: The hypothesis is developed that retinoblastoma is a cancer caused by two mutational events, in the dominantly inherited form, one mutation is inherited via the germinal cells and the second occurs in somatic cells.

Letter: A new consistent chromosomal abnormality in chronic myelogenous leukaemia identified by quinacrine fluorescence and Giemsa staining.
TL;DR: An unsuspected abnormality in all cells from the nine patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia has been detected with quinacrine fluorescence and various Giemsa staining techniques, suggesting that there may be a hitherto undetected translocation between the long arm of 22 and thelong arm of 9, producing the 9q+ chromosome.

TL;DR: The LDL Pathway is a Vehicle for Normal Human PhySIOLOGY and the PATHOGENESIS of ATHEROSCLEROSIS and its implications for normal human physiology and the pathogenesis of AtherOSCLerosis are discussed.

Defective repair replication of DNA in xeroderma pigmentosum.
TL;DR: Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum develop fatal skin cancers when exposed to sunlight, and so the failure of DNA repair in the skin must be related to carcinogenesis.
