متن کاملSubclinical Hypothyroidism, Pregnancy and the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident.
In this Issue of Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, Furukawa et al. (2017) reported that elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (3.0-10.0 μU/ mL) were not associated with overall adverse pregnancy outcomes in Japanese women without known medical complications. The authors suggest that effects of subclinical hypothyroidism on pregnancy are different among regions. Iodine is an e...
متن کاملLessons from Fukushima: Latest Findings of Thyroid Cancer After the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident
The increase in risk for late-onset thyroid cancer due to radiation exposure is a potential health effect after a nuclear power plant accident mainly due to the release of radioiodine in fallout. The risk is particularly elevated in those exposed during infancy and adolescence. To estimate the possibility and extent of thyroid cancer occurrence after exposure, it is of utmost importance to coll...
متن کاملFukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident: facts, environmental contamination, possible biological effects, and countermeasures
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake led to major problems at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. A 14-m high tsunami triggered by the earthquake disabled all AC power to Units 1, 2, and 3 of the Power Plant, and carried off fuel tanks for emergency diesel generators. Despite many efforts, cooling systems did not work and hydrogen explosions damaged the facilities, releasing a large amount o...
متن کاملRadioactivity from Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
Several inquiries have been made to Ocean Networks Canada with regard to the fate and severity of oceanic contamination from the leakage of radioactive material into the Pacific Ocean as a result of the March 2011 damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP). There are on-going studies and assessments of the impacts on the ocean, primarily by the World Health Organization (1) [2]...
