Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that fluoride-exposed groups had significantly lower levels of essential minerals in their blood and higher amounts excreted in the stool compared to the control group.
- * The analysis revealed that fluoride causes the formation of unusual chemical complexes in stool, which hinders mineral absorption and alters the chemical environment in the gut.
Introduction: Heavy metals exposure is a known carcinogen in humans. The impact of heavy metals in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is unclear with scant available literature. Though previous studies have evaluated the role of heavy metals in RCC, majority of those studies have evaluated either single or few heavy metals in urine.

Methods: Sixty children (4-6 years with ≥ 3 caries lesions) were recruited from the outpatient department of Pediatric Dentistry. From each child, 3 ml unstimulated saliva samples were collected at baseline, one hour, and 24 h after SDF application.
Can Superoxide Anions Predict the Malignant Potential of Carotid body Tumor? - A Pilot Study.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
September 2023
Unlabelled: Currently, there is no consensus on estimating the malignant potential of Carotid Body Tumor (CBT) and the only way to predict a metastatic CBT is through DOTANOC Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan. There is a well-established correlation between CBT and superoxide anions inside tumor cells. The purpose of this pilot study was to measure superoxide anions inside CBT cells and find if these can be used as marker to predict malignant potential of CBT.

Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven CAUB ( = 100) were taken as the study group, while age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers were taken as control ( = 100).
