Growth and metabolic functions of Schizolobium amazonicum subjected to nickel doses.

Anthropic activities such as industries, agriculture and mining has generated public concern for its numerous irregular disposals of its waste, the incorrect deposition of heavy metals such as nickel (Ni) has caused the degradation and contamination of groundwater and water. Studies that point out cheap and efficient solutions have been an obstacle to the advancement of solutions for degraded area recovery programs. For this, a vegetable home experiment was developed, with an entirely randomized design with 5 treatments being a control (no metal) and 4 nickel concentrations (200 μM/L; 400 μM/L; 600 μM/L and 800 μM/L) with 6 repetitions.

Climate change and occupational health and safety. Risk of injuries, productivity loss and the co-benefits perspective.

Background: Climate change is a fundamental threat to human health and outdoor workers are one of the most vulnerable population subgroups. Increasing heat stress and heatwaves are directly associated with the health and safety of workers for a large spectrum of occupations. Heat stress negatively affects labour supply, productivity, and workability.

A Literature Review on Oral Lumenoscopy: A Non-invasive Method for Diagnosing Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders.

Dentistry still faces difficulties in diagnosing oral precancer and cancer, especially when it comes to early phase changes or disease detection, evaluation, and treatment. In essence, oral lumenography is the process of identifying oral lesions using a chemiluminescent light source and a toluidine blue labeling system. Since neoplastic epithelial cells have a changed nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, acetic acid dehydration brings out this nuclear density and gives the tissue an "acetowhite" look.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Detecting Maxillofacial Fractures.

Facial bone fractures are a common occurrence in trauma cases, particularly in India where road traffic accidents contribute significantly. Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a potent instrument to help medical professionals diagnose and treat facial fractures. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis, that is, a quantitative and qualitative analysis, of publications focusing on the role of AI in detecting facial bone fractures.

The future of lactoferrin: A closer look at LipoDuo technology.

Background: Lactoferrin (Lf), a multifunctional glycoprotein known for its roles in immune modulation, iron metabolism, and antimicrobial activity, has limited therapeutic efficacy due to poor bioavailability. Liposomal encapsulation of lactoferrin (LLf) offers a potential solution by improving its stability, absorption, and sustained release, making it a promising candidate for various clinical applications. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of LLf and plain Lf in cellular uptake, proliferation, and wound healing using HEK-293T and Caco-2 cell lines.
