1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 02/01/2004 - "After intramuscular deposit, the efficacy of the dressing was not reduced if the contact time decreased from 1 h to 15 min. Therefore, this wound dressing could be a practical option to treat uranium-contaminated wounds, but its efficacy depends on the localization of the uranium deposit." 01/01/2021 - "The new dose coefficients benefit the assessment of internal exposures for intakes of uranium via contaminated wounds in actual applications." 01/01/2021 - "Effective dose coefficients for different categories of intake materials via contaminated wounds are calculated for the three major uranium isotopes-238U, 235U, and 234U. " 01/01/2021 - "Effective Dose Coefficients for Intakes of Uranium Via Contaminated Wounds for Reference Adults." 01/01/2019 - "During the First Gulf War (1991) over 100 servicemen sustained depleted uranium (DU) exposure through wound contamination, inhalation, and shrapnel. "
2.	Lung Neoplasms (Lung Cancer) 01/01/2023 - "There was little evidence that radiation increased the risk of lung cancer, suggesting that inhalation of uranium dust and the associated high-LET alpha particle exposure to lung tissue experienced over a few years is less effective in causing lung cancer than other types of exposures. " 01/01/2020 - "The PUMA study represents the largest study of uranium miners conducted to date, encompassing 124 507 miners, 4.51 million person-years at risk and 54 462 deaths, including 7825 deaths due to lung cancer. " 11/01/2018 - "Samples from 28 studies provided by the International Lung Cancer Consortium were pooled with samples of former uranium miners collected by the German Federal Office of Radiation Protection. " 11/01/2014 - "Workers in the Colorado Plateau Uranium Miners cohort (n = 4,134) entered the study between 1950 and 1964 and were followed for lung cancer mortality through 2005. " 11/01/2014 - "We illustrate these methods using data from 2 studies of radiation and lung cancer: the Colorado Plateau cohort study (1950-2005) of underground uranium miners (in which smoking was measured) and a French cohort study (1950-2004) of nuclear industry workers (in which smoking was unmeasured).

Poisoning 01/01/2022 - "Cell metabolomics has proven to be a useful diagnostic tool to study the molecular mechanisms of uranium poisoning." 09/01/1977 - "[Possibilities of rapid elimination of uranium in acute poisoning (experimental study)]." 09/01/1950 - "Pharmacologic tools in the study of the mechanism of uranium poisoning." 01/01/1922 - "Studies of Uranium Poisoning : V.

4.	Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 09/01/2019 - "The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence, relative risks, and predictive factors of the development of arterial hypertension (AH) in workers of a uranium processing enterprise (UPE). " 09/01/2019 - "Our results revealed a high prevalence of hypertension among UPE workers (24.8%), as well as greater risk of development of hypertension among workers of UPE in comparison to the personnel of the non-uranium enterprise: RR=2.4 and SRR=2.9. " 09/01/2019 - "[ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AMONG WORKERS OF A URANIUM PROCESSING ENTERPRISE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN: PREVALENCE, RELATIVE RISKS AND PREDICTORS OF THE DEVELOPMENT]." 01/01/2012 - "The levels of uranium in Ulaanbaatar's groundwater are in the range that has been associated with nephrotoxicity, high blood pressure, bone dysfunction and likely reproductive impairment in human populations. " 11/01/2010 - "The relationship between uranium exposure and hypertension or hematologic parameters was evaluated using generalized linear models and quantile regression for continuous outcomes, and logistic regression or ordinal logistic regression for categorical outcomes, after adjustment for potential confounding factors. "
5.	Proteinuria 03/01/1985 - "Transient proteinuria and aminoaciduria in rodents following uranium intoxication." 11/01/1958 - "Nature of proteinuria induced by uranium in rats." 04/01/1985 - "Although the levels of tubular proteinuria were mild, a dose-effect relation existed between the clearance of beta-2-microglobulin, relative to that of creatinine, and the length of time that the uranium workers had spent in the yellowcake drying and packaging area, the work area with the highest exposures to soluble uranium.
