Diabetes mellitus among Swedish art glass workers--an effect of arsenic exposure?
The observations from this study provide limited support for the possibility that occupational arsenic exposure could play a role in the development of diabetes mellitus. Many other metallic compounds are also used in art glass production, however, and there is a possibility of confounding.
A single 4-Gy additional fraction in patients treated with a hypofractionated protracted IMRT schedule of 14 × 4 Gy resulted in a similar and minimal acute toxicity, in worse moderate to severe urinary and GI late effects, but a significantly better biochemical control.
