The health risk assessment of heavy metals to human health through the consumption of spp and catfish caught from Lake Mariut, Egypt.

This work assesses the concentration of As, Cd, Pb, Hg, and Al in three of Tilapia species and catfish caught from Lake Mariut. As well as the human health risk and muscle biochemical composition. Besides, the antioxidant responses of different species.

Estimation of Cadmium in Muscles of Five Freshwater Fish Species from Manzalah Lake, and Possible Human Risk Assessment of Fish Consumption (Egypt).

The Egyptian government devised a plan in 2016 to improve the unique ecological significance of northern lakes, which mentioned Manzalah Lake in the Egypt Vision 2030. In this regard, this study investigated cadmium (Cd) content in five freshwater fish species collected from Manzalah Lake in Egypt at 2018 by local fishermen. According to the findings, Clarias gariepinus recorded the highest concentration of Cd (1.

Correction to: Trace elements exposure influences proximate body composition and antioxidant enzyme activities of the species tilapia and catfish in Burullus Lake-Egypt: human risk assessment for the consumers.

The correct images of figs. 2 and 3 are presented in this paper.

Trace elements exposure influences proximate body composition and antioxidant enzyme activities of the species tilapia and catfish in Burullus Lake-Egypt: human risk assessment for the consumers.

The trace elements concentration in the fish estimates the contamination degree in the aquatic environment. These toxic trace elements are transported into the human through the consumption of polluted fish. This study estimated the effect of Cd, Hg, Pb, As, and Al on tilapia species and catfish Clarias gariepinus (six for each species of fish) inhabiting Burullus Lake-Egypt 30° 33'-31° 08' E and 30° 22'-31° 35' N.

Effect of breastfeeding versus infant formula on iron status of infants with beta thalassemia major.

Background: Thalassemia major or Cooley's anemia is the most severe form of beta thalassemia in which the complete lack of beta protein in the hemoglobin causes a life-threatening anemia requiring regular blood transfusions and extensive ongoing medical care. These extensive, lifelong blood transfusions lead to iron-overload that must be treated with chelation therapy to prevent early death from organ failure. We compared serum iron and ferritin levels amongst infants aged up to one year with beta thalassemia major according to their feeding types, including exclusively breastfed, exclusively formula fed and combined (both breast and formula) fed types.
