Optimization of Bacillus cereus Fermentation Process for Selenium Enrichment as Organic Selenium Source

Selenium is an essential trace element and micronutrient for human health. Application of organic selenium in plants and microorganisms as trace element supplement is attracting more and more attention. In this study, Bacillus cereus, an im...

Cadmium sulfide-induced toxicity in the cortex and cerebellum: In vitro and in vivo studies

Living organisms have an innate ability to regulate the synthesis of inorganic materials, such as bones and teeth in humans. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) can be utilized as a quantum dot that functions as a unique light-emitting semiconductor nano...

Green Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using <i>Moringa olifera</i> Ethanolic Extract Lessens Acrylamide-Induced Testicular Damage, Apoptosis, and Steroidogenesis-Related Gene Dysregulation in Adult Rats

This study assessed the possible protective role of green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles using Moringa olifera leaf extract (MO-ZNPs) in acrylamide (ACR)-induced reproductive dysfunctions in male rats. ACR (20 mg/kg b.wt/day) and/or M...

Detection Techniques for Synthetic Cannabinoids in Body Fluids and Tissues: A Systematic Review

Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), originally developed for research purposes in the 1960s, have emerged as a significant concern in clinical and forensic toxicology due to their widespread abuse and unpredictable toxicological effects. These co...

From plants to patterns: Constructing a comprehensive online strontium isoscape for Belgium (IsoBel) using high density grid mapping

Understanding the spatial distribution of strontium isotopes in plants or other archives within a region is crucial for various fields, including archaeology, environmental studies, food sciences and forensic science. This study aims to cre...

Building evidences in Public Health Emergency Preparedness (“BePHEP” Project)—a systematic review

Abstract Introduction Humanitarian crises exacerbate the vulnerability of already fragile healthcare systems and significantly increase the risk of infectious disease outbreaks in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This systematic re...

Alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites contribute to metabolic maladaptation in dairy cows during the development of hyperketonemia

ABSTRACTMetabolic maladaptation in dairy cows after calving can lead to long-term elevation of ketones, such as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), representing the condition known as hyperketonemia, which greatly influences the health and production ...

Hospitalisations for physical abuse in infants and children less than 5 years, 2013‒2021: a multinational cohort study using administrative data from five European countries

Objectives Child physical abuse (CPA) is a global public health problem associated with lifelong negative consequences, yet reliable epidemiologic data are lacking. We did a multinational cohort study to analyse trends in CPA hospitalisatio...

GPR55 activation improves anxiety- and depression-like behaviors of mice during methamphetamine withdrawal
