The researchers monitored various pollutants in real cosmetics industry wastewater and reported high removal efficiencies for parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand and heavy metals through coagulation-flocculation, yet suggested that more effective COD treatment alternatives are necessary to better protect the environment and human health.

This perspective proposes a new classification system for "superfoods" to better align them with environmental and social sustainability goals, emphasizing plant-based sources over animal-based ones due to lower greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation impacts.

This study describes two thallium poisoning outbreaks, highlighting characteristic symptoms like hair loss and peripheral neuropathy, and emphasizes that such poisoning can stem from accidental or criminal ingestion.

This study found that a phytosomal delivery system improved the bioavailability of Cuscuta reflexa extract compared to the plain extract, suggesting enhanced potential for this formulation.

This study found that ringtailed lemurs consuming leucaena in Berenty absorb mimosine, which causes alopecia without affecting body condition or organ toxicity; this may increase infant mortality due to alopecic mothers.

This review discusses how faecal pollution contributes to antimicrobial resistance in surface water and highlights the need for standardized methods and better wastewater management but reports no new clinical results.

Green algae can break down finasteride, reducing environmental harm.

In this study, Bacillus subtilis strain ALC_02 was observed to enhance phosphorus acquisition in phosphorus-limited dwarf tomato plants by promoting root and root hair growth, with potential implications for developing effective bacterial P biofertilizers.

This case report discusses a young man's severe febrile illness mimicking leptospirosis or dengue, ultimately suggesting Gloriosa superba poisoning after hair loss led to the correct diagnosis.

This study found that the K6/ODC transgenic mouse model is highly sensitive to identifying genotoxic carcinogens, showing 100% concordance with traditional rodent bioassays.

This review reports that thallium poisoning causes severe neurological damage, with early gastrointestinal symptoms and later neurological dysfunction, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and Prussian blue as an effective antidote.

In this case study, biotin supplementation was reported to interfere with free testosterone assay results, leading to falsely low readings in a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism.

In this study, researchers developed a method for high-resolution live imaging of leg regeneration in the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, which effectively captures the entire process at cellular resolution over 10 days while minimizing photodamage.

This study found that nanoparticles can penetrate the skin, but artifacts produced during specimen preparation complicate accurate observation, and proposed a method for reducing errors in imaging quantum dots as tracers.

Goat hair shows changes in metal levels and stress when goats move from indoors to mountain pastures.

This study observed that ethylenthiourea's lethality increases with dose accumulation and ethanol co-administration, while impaired liver function and various adverse effects were noted in long-term treated rats.

This study suggests that while hair analysis using GC-MS is a sensitive method for detecting cocaine ingestion, it may not reliably indicate the amount, timing, or duration of drug use due to interindividual variability and multiple incorporation mechanisms.

Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.

This case report highlighted two instances of bezoar disease: a massive gastric trichobezoar in a teenage girl and multiple gastrointestinal phytobezoars in an adult man, underscoring the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and the effectiveness of surgical intervention for removing large or multiple bezoars.

This study demonstrated that using lead-doped keratin film as a calibration standard allows for accurate tracking of lead distribution along hair strands, revealing different exposure patterns among workers in a battery manufacturing factory in Thailand.

This study assessed the environmental impact of the drug finasteride on Daphnia magna, finding that both acute and chronic exposure impaired development and reproduction, affected gene expression and metabolism, and altered lipid profiles, highlighting the need to understand pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

In this study, the authors reported that taking 20 mg or more of biotin can interfere with thyroid function tests, potentially leading to false diagnoses of conditions like Grave's disease.

This study found that long-lived proteins in mice, identified across various tissues, may be linked to neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases due to their low renewal rate and increased risk of damage.

This summary outlines the essential roles and recommended daily intakes of biotin, while discussing consequences and mechanisms of deficiency, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that women who delivered children with locomotor system malformations had significantly higher lead concentrations in their blood and hair compared to those who had healthy children.

This article discusses the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in chemical carcinogenesis and reports no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that hair analysis detecting trace elements like copper and iron may help in screening for diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and osteoporosis, due to altered element concentrations in patients.

This review highlights that human hair is a valuable biological matrix for clinical and toxicological analyses, demonstrating its applicability in detecting various active substances from different pharmacological classes.

This case report describes a six-year-old child with congenital biotinidase deficiency whose symptoms, including breathlessness, alopecia, and hearing loss, were reversed with biotin supplementation.

This article reviews the use of hair analysis in forensic and environmental toxicology for detecting potentially toxic elements and drugs, but it reports no new research findings.
