Regular application of emollients is routinely recommended for children with eczema. There are four main emollient types, but no clear evidence of which is best. The current 'trial and error' approach to find suitable emollients can be frustrating for parents, children, and clinicians.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>To identify how parents and children experience and evaluate emollients.</p><p><strong>Design and setting: </strong>Qualitative interview study, nested within a primary care trial of emollients (Best Emollients for Eczema [BEE] trial).</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Semi-structured interviews with children with eczema and their parents were conducted. Participants were purposively sampled on emollient type (lotion, cream, gel, or ointment), age, and eczema severity.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Forty-four parents were interviewed, with children participating in 24 of those interviews. There was no clear preference for any one emollient type. The strongest theme was the variation of experience in each of the four types. Participants focused on thickness and absorbency, both positively and negatively, to frame their evaluations. Effectiveness and acceptability were both considered when evaluating an emollient but effectiveness was the primary driver for continued use. For some, participating in the trial had changed their knowledge and behaviour of emollients, resulting in use that was more regular and for a longer duration.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>There is no one emollient that is suitable for everyone, and parents/children prioritise different aspects of emollients. Future research could evaluate decision aids and/or tester pots of different types, which could enable clinicians and parents/children to work collaboratively to identify the best emollient for them.</p>","PeriodicalId":14141,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Low Radiation","volume":"1 1","pages":"e390-e397"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9172216/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88757336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this is simple to implement it has many drawbacks and is essentially focusing on measurements of uptake and transfer of radionuclides in individuals. This ignores the complexity and interdependence of natural ecosystems. It also ignores the biology involved in management of radiation damage in wild populations. To address these concerns international efforts are being made to develop a more ecocentric or holistic approach. Especially important is the recognition that ecosystems are very complex and that adverse emergent properties of these systems such as biodiversity collapse are not predictable from measurement of impacts on individuals. The paper discusses the limitations of current ICRP approaches and considers some promising new ideas, which may lead to more integrated protection systems involving the ecosystem as a central focus rather than the individual.","PeriodicalId":14141,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Low Radiation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66669834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A generic source term code has also been developed using MATLAB by following NUREG-1228. The sensitivity analysis is based on variation of the received total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) corresponding to the variation of the uncertain input parameters. The sensitivity was seen to be higher at stable conditions with the change of high wind speed. Estimated TEDE dose results for Xe-133 at different downwind distances from Rooppur NPP site in different atmospheric stability classes. The maximum TEDE of 6.40E-06 Sv was estimated at maximum distance of 0.7 km from the site for stability class A, whereas, in case of unstable stability class B, it was 5.70E-05.","PeriodicalId":14141,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Low Radiation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66669949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
