This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the relationship between blood oxidative stress biomarkers and exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation in medical radiation workers. The researchers searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for relevant studies until February 2023. They assessed the quality of the studies using the Newcastle‒Ottawa Scale (NOS) and used a random-effects model to combine the results.

- Concussions are increasingly recognized as a serious health issue, with the need to better understand minor traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) and their long-term effects like second impact syndrome and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
- Current diagnostic methods for concussions primarily rely on subjective assessments, which can lead to uncertainties in diagnosis despite some assistance from neurocognitive tests.
- Emerging research is focusing on developing objective diagnostic tools, such as specific biomarkers and advanced imaging techniques, to improve the accuracy of concussion diagnosis and management.
Nanoparticles, such as copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO NP) and polystyrene nanoplastic (PSNP), are increasingly released into aquatic environments, and pose potential risks to aquatic animals such as brine shrimps. Understanding the toxicity of these nanoparticles, especially when combined, is very important to assess their environmental effects. Therefore, this work describes the toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastic (PSNP) and CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) for brine shrimp (Artemiasalina).

Article Synopsis
- * The review analyzed 40 of 254 articles, revealing that OTA was present in 54.6% of 3,256 coffee samples, with significant variations across countries and coffee types.
- * Overall, the estimated daily intake of OTA from coffee was below safety thresholds, indicating that coffee is not toxic to consumers, but recommendations for preventing fungal contamination were suggested.
