Abstract This paper empirically investigates biased beliefs about the risks of smoking. First, it confirms the established tendency of people to overestimate the lifetime risk of a smoker to contract lung cancer. In this paper’s survey, almost half of all respondents overestimate this risk. However, 80% underestimate lung cancer deadliness. In reality, less than one in five patients survive five years after a lung cancer diagnosis. Due to the broad underestimation of the lung cancer deadliness, the lifetime risk of a smoker to die of lung cancer is underestimated by almost half of all respondents. Smokers who do not plan to quit are significantly more likely to underestimate this overall mortality risk.

Aim of the study: Assessment of reliability of radiation safety standards after inhalation intake of Pu-239. Material and methods: Using results of epidemiological study of lung cancer mortality in Mayak workers cohort and statistical data on all causes and lung cancer mortality in Russia the excess lifetime risk of lung cancer death was calculated. Results: Current radiation safety standards restrict annual intake of Pu-239 class “S” at 1300 Bq/year level. The annual limit of intake is calculated in a way that the level of committed effective dose in 50 years after intake should not exceed 20 mSv. At the same time radiation safety standards restrict the level of the excess lifetime risk of cancer death at the level of 0.05 (for category A personnel) and/or annual increment of excess lifetime risk at the level 0.001. The equivalent dose of alpha-particles to the lung after 50 years of inhalation intake of Pu class “S” when calculated according to DOSE-2008 model will be 7 Sv. Given the pattern of dose accumulation over time after this scenario of Pu class “S” inhalation intake we calculated excess relative risk of lung cancer death, lifetime excess risk of lung cancer death and annual increment of excess lifetime risk. In 50 years of exposure to inhalation intake of Pu-239 class “S” the excess lifetime risk of lung cancer death will be 0.08, i.e. will exceed the 0.05 limit provided in radiation safety standards. The annual increment of the lifetime risk will exceed limit of 0.001, provided by the radiation safety standards, at age 45 and older. These results demonstrate that the protection of personnel working with Pu-239 class “S” is insufficient in current radiation safety standards. One of the potential reasons is that lung contribution to total detriment for organism provided by ionizing radiation is averaged for all ages whereas for people of working age who contact to Pu at work this detriment doubles.

Exposure to silica dust may be considered as an important hazard in the tile industry. The aim of this research was to determine workers’ exposure to crystalline silica dust and assess the relative risk of silicosis and the excess lifetime risk of mortality from lung cancer in tile industry. The visible spectroscopy, based on the NIOSH method 7601, was employed to the do sampling and analysis. For estimate the rate of silicosis relate mortality and the excess lifetime risk of mortality from lung cancer the Mannetje and rice model used. The highest average of the exposure rate to silica were in Stone crusher (0/43 mg/m3) section and press section while the lowest average of the exposure rate to free silica was in packaging section (0/12 mg/m3). 95 percent of the study samples scored above the occupational exposure limit0.05 mg/m3NIOSH standard.

Swallow Function

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers across Northern America and Europe. Treatment options offered are dependent on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the staging, and the overall health of the person. When surgery for lung cancer is offered, difficulty swallowing is a potential complication that can have several influencing factors. Surgical interaction with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can lead to unilateral vocal cord palsy, altering swallow function and safety. Understanding whether the RLN has been preserved, damaged, or sacrificed is integral to understanding the effect on the swallow and the subsequent treatment options available. There is also the risk of post-surgical reduction of physiological reserve, which can reduce the strength and function of the swallow in addition to any surgery specific complications. As lung cancer has a limited prognosis, the clinician must also factor in the palliative phase, as this can further increase the burden of an already compromised swallow. By understanding the surgery and the implications this may have for the swallow, there is the potential to reduce the impact of post-surgical complications and so improve quality of life (QOL) for people with lung cancer.
