Carotid artery revascularization through a radiated field by Lesèche, Guy

“…Radiation-induced accelerated atherosclerosis has been recognized for some time.1, 2, 3 and 4 Because of the prolonged survival of patients treated with radiation,5 the frequency of this long-term side effect is expected to increase. In a prospective study, late (>70%) carotid artery stenosis was found in 11.7% of 240 patients who had undergone cervical irradiation.6 The chronic effects of radiation therapy lead to decreased vascularity and increased fibrosis, which in turn lead to risk for tissue necrosis, infection, and ulceration. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”
