On-site sensing for aflatoxicosis poisoning via ultraviolet excitable aptasensor based on fluorinated ethylene propylene strip: a promising forensic tool.

The environmental contamination by extremophile Aspergillus species, i.e., Aflatoxin B1, is hardly controllable in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which lack handling resources and controlled storage facilities.

Zinc status in public health: exploring emerging research trends through bibliometric analysis of the historical context from 1978 to 2022.

The current study aims to provide a roadmap for future research by analyzing the research structures and trends in scholarly publications related to the status of zinc in public health. Only journal articles published between 1978 and 2022 are included in the refined bibliographical outputs retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The first section announces findings based on WoS categories, such as discipline heterogeneity, times cited and publications over time, and citation reports.

The Role of 8-Amidoquinoline Derivatives as Fluorescent Probes for Zinc Ion Determination.

Mass-spectrometry-based and X-ray fluorescence-based techniques have allowed the study of the distribution of Zn ions at extracellular and intracellular levels over the past few years. However, there are some issues during purification steps, sample preparation, suitability for quantification, and the instruments' availability. Therefore, work on fluorescent sensors based on 8-aminoquinoline as tools to detect Zn ions in environmental and biological applications has been popular.
