This study explored biochemical parameters of blood in workers operating in the main workshops at the Ust-Kamenogorsk Titanium and Magnesium Plant magnesium (Mg) workshop (furnace operator, chlorinator operator, and electrolyzer operator), titanium tetrachloride workshop (mill operator and titanium (Ti) production operator), and Ti sponge workshop…[Read more]

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) PDI had a mean of 1.55 ng/kg-bw/day. The Margin of Exposure (MOE) of AFB1 ranged from 108.10 to 4444.44. The present study showed that the risk of AFB1 from spices is a matter of concern while the risk of OTA and FB1 is limited with the exception of FB1 from garlic and onion.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) play a key role…[Read more]

The overall aim was to assess the effects of repetitive testing on performance on a next-generation Sensory Organization Test (NG-SOT).

The psychometric properties of sensory organization assessment with a next-generation posturography device are not fully characterized. Thus, a better understanding of the reliability of the NG-SOT is…[Read more]

To determine whether there is a relationship between folic acid dose and the degree of protection against valproate-associated and other antiepileptic drug (AED)-associated fetal structural malformations in women with AED-treated epilepsy.

Statistical analysis of data from the Raoul Wallenberg Australian Register of Antiepileptic Drugs in…[Read more]

According to WHO report, globally about 10 million active tuberculosis cases, resulting in about 1.6 million deaths, further aggravated by drug-resistant tuberculosis and/or comorbidities with HIV and diabetes are present. Incomplete therapeutic regimen, meager dosing, and the capability of the latent and/or active state tubercular bacilli to…[Read more]

This was treated with protocolized nebulizer treatments, prone-positioning, early tracheostomy, and frequent bronchoscopy. Over his hospital course he required lower extremity amputation and numerous excision and grafting procedures. Ultimately, he exhibited renal and respiratory recovery. He was discharged on PBD 75 to a rehabilitation…[Read more]

To quantify the effect of blood transfusion on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among women undergoing hysterectomy for non-malignant indications.

A retrospective cohort study using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) was conducted. Women who underwent hysterectomy for…[Read more]

Drug-law enforcement constitutes a structural determinant of health among people who inject drugs (PWID). Street encounters between police and PWID (e.g., syringe confiscation, physical assault) have been associated with health harms, but these relationships have not been systematically assessed. We conducted a systematic literature review to…[Read more]

Reliability was high to excellent for IR and ER on concentric and eccentric strength measurements, regardless of velocity used (ICC 0.81-0.98, CV 5.12-8.27% SEM 4.06-15.04N). Concentric outcomes were more reliable than eccentric due to the possible familiarization of the population with the different stimuli.

All procedures examined showed…[Read more]
