Benzo[ghi] perylene (b[ghi]p) is classified as non-carcinogenic to humans, and there are currently no occupational exposure models available to identify its effects. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of b[ghi]p on the lysosomes of NL-20 cells (a human bronchial cell line) exposed to 4.5 μM for 3 h.

Article Synopsis
- Mobile health apps are becoming popular, but few have utilized tablet-based technology in managing heart failure (HF) effectively.
- A study compared a traditional telephone-based HF management program to one that included remote monitoring via a tablet, tracking various health metrics over 90 days.
- The results showed no significant difference in hospitalization days between the two approaches, suggesting that adding tablet monitoring may not be beneficial, though the study's limitations could affect the findings.
