The woman likely died from acute arsenic poisoning, not chronic exposure.

This study examined the environment and quality of carrots grown in Vietnam, finding that organically grown carrots had lower levels of harmful heavy metals than traditional methods, suggesting organic farming can yield safer, higher-quality carrots.

This study observed that the intestinal absorption of selenium varies depending on its chemical form, with selenomethionine being absorbed efficiently and selenium as selenodiglutathione or selenodicysteine being absorbed faster than selenite.

In this study, researchers observed that basil seed exudate provides a protective barrier against lead toxicity in the initial stages of seed germination, even though root hairs eventually suffer from necrosis, demonstrating acute but non-lethal phytotoxicity of lead in agricultural contexts.

This study observed that consuming grouper fish liver caused symptoms similar to acute vitamin A intoxication, indicating its high vitamin A content as the likely cause.

This review discusses Charnoly bodies as biomarkers of cell injury and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and cancer treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated radiocalcium uptake in skin, eye, cartilage, and mucous glands, with the highest concentration in the hair follicle's keratogenous zone.

This study found that enzyme activity related to cancer induction by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be increased by using a shampoo containing crude coal tar and significantly inhibited by imidazole compounds in human hair follicles.

This study found that an Enterobacter isolate demonstrated high resistance to selenate and effective sorption capacity, suggesting potential for bioremediation of selenium-contaminated environments.

This article describes a case of selenosis linked to excessive selenium in a nutritional supplement that led to a product recall due to toxicity concerns.

In this study, feeding albino mice various doses of Acanthospermum hispidum shoots and seeds caused toxicity and death within 9 to 172 days.

The algae grew better and fixed nitrogen more efficiently when they worked together, using nitrogen and iron.

This review highlights cobalt's essential role in vitamin B12 metabolism and its biomedical applications but also warns of health risks from high levels and environmental contamination, discussing remediation methods like phytoremediation.

This article reviews the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of acute radiation syndrome caused by ingesting (210)polonium, emphasizing the need for supportive care and potential benefits of chelation therapy.

This review discusses fractionated reirradiation as a potential treatment for recurrent brain tumors in children and highlights ongoing challenges with managing craniospinal dissemination; it provides no new clinical results.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This study found elevated levels of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in the fur of juvenile Australian fur seals with alopecia, suggesting a possible link to the syndrome and underscoring fur's utility for monitoring exposure.

This study found that high doses of TCB caused severe toxicity in cotton top marmoset monkeys, with clinical and histological changes similar to those in humans and other primates exposed to PCBs.

This study reported the development of a workflow that combines SIMS and X-ray elemental mapping techniques for multimodal imaging at the single cell level, successfully applied to visualize elements, metals, and lipids in porcine skin without loss or delocalization.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This study found that high doses of ethyl acetate extract from Tridax procumbens can have specific toxic effects in rats, including organ damage and significant changes in some serum biochemical parameters.

This reprint reviews 14 papers on advances in solid-phase microextraction techniques for bioanalysis, reporting no new results.

This study developed and validated a method using hair samples to simultaneously detect bisphenols and parabens, enabling the quantification of these endocrine disruptors in a hospital population’s hair.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.

This study identified a novel Acinetobacter species, strain A1-4-2, with exceptional biodegradation abilities and low antibiotic resistance, found in diverse environments and potentially useful for ecological restoration by degrading organic pollutants.

This review discusses thallium poisoning, its mechanisms, clinical symptoms, and treatment approaches, highlighting hemoperfusion as an effective method to eliminate absorbed thallium, though no new clinical results are presented.

This study found that Codium sp. cultivated in IMTA systems can be a sustainable source of bioactive ingredients for skin care products, with various fractions providing photoprotective, wound-healing, and antimicrobial benefits in vitro.

This study found that targeting the hair follicle can be increased by using lipophilic drugs combined with surfactant solutions and propylene glycol.

The researchers reported that hair bio element median derivatives bioassay is an effective and reliable method for evaluating the nutritional status of various bio elements, offering a non-invasive approach for nutritional health surveillance and precision medicine.

This study found that cadmium adsorption on human hair varies significantly between individuals, likely due to differences in hair acidity, and nearly complete removal can be achieved with strong acid solutions.
