Phage display technology in ecotoxicology: phage display derived unique peptide for copper identification in aquatic samples.

Background: Ecotoxicology is essential for the evaluation and comprehension of the effects of emergency pollutants (EP) such as heavy metal ions on the natural environment. EPs pose a substantial threat to the health of humans and the proper functioning of the global ecosystem. The primary concern is the exposure of humans and animals to heavy metal ions through contaminated water.

Isometric and isokinetic hip strength in males with chronic ankle instability and its relationship with dynamic balance and self-reported instability.

Objectives: To investigate isometric and isokinetic hip strength as well as dynamic balance in males with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and explore potential associations between hip strength, dynamic balance, and self-reported instability.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: University laboratory.

Ultra-Selective and Sensitive Fluorescent Chemosensor Based on Phage Display-Derived Peptide with an N-Terminal Cu(II)-Binding Motif.

Copper, along with gold, was among the first metals that humans employed. Thus, the copper pollution of the world's water resources is escalating, posing a significant threat to human health and aquatic ecosystems. It is crucial to develop detection technology that is both low-cost and feasible, as well as ultra-selective and sensitive.

Peptide-Based Rapid and Selective Detection of Mercury in Aqueous Samples with Micro-Volume Glass Capillary Fluorometer.

Mercury, a toxic heavy metal produced through both natural and anthropogenic processes, is found in all of Earth's major systems. Mercury's bioaccumulation characteristics in the human body have a significant impact on the liver, kidneys, brain, and muscles. In order to detect Hg ions, a highly sensitive and specific fluorescent biosensor has been developed using a novel, modified seven amino acid peptide, FY7.

68Ga-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT in Endometrial Cancer: A Preliminary Report.

Purpose Of The Report: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is expressed in prostate cancer cells but can be found in other cancers, such as endometrial cancer, during angiogenesis.The aim of this prospective pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of using 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in endometrial cancer patients before surgical treatment.
