Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the health risks of heavy metal exposure (like arsenic and lead) in soil through methods such as dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation, using advanced analytical techniques to evaluate contamination levels.
- - Soil samples were analyzed for heavy metals, revealing significant pollution in over 60% of samples, with concentrations following the order of nickel, zinc, and lead being the highest.
- - The findings highlight a notable non-carcinogenic risk and a 33% carcinogenic risk linked to arsenic exposure, underscoring the need for targeted remediation efforts in contaminated areas.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the connection between facial symmetry and hand preference in healthy preadolescent children using 3D stereophotogrammetry.
- It involved 188 Taiwanese participants, predominantly right-handed, with no significant differences in facial structure based on hand dominance.
- Although no link between facial features and hand preference was found, a common right-sided asymmetry was noted in the cranium's frontal region.
Article Synopsis
- Recent classification changes in adult diffuse gliomas focus on molecular features as key diagnostic criteria, particularly for different types of glioblastomas and astrocytomas.
- The 2021 WHO CNS classification introduced additional molecular alterations into tumor grading, but survival outcomes are still varied within established tumor categories, especially for IDH-mutant astrocytomas.
- Genetic and epigenetic instabilities, including chromosomal instability and microsatellite instability, significantly affect tumor behavior and patient survival, highlighting the importance of understanding these factors in developing effective treatments.
Background: Patients with cleft have functional and aesthetic impairment, and typically require several interventions as they grow. Long-term evaluation following a treatment protocol is essential, but such reports on patients with complete cleft lip and alveolus (CLA) are sparse in the literature.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted to all patients with complete CLA born between January 1995 and August 2002 and treated at our center.
Marjolijn's ulcer is a malignant ulcer in a burn scar. Types of malignancy are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Soft tissue sarcoma case reports indicate only one type of cancer.
