Assessment of potentially toxic element contents in chickens and poultry feeds from Bangladesh markets: Implications for human health risk.

Chicken () is a significant source of animal protein for the people of Bangladesh. However, anthropogenic activity may contaminate chicken meat with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) despite the nutritional benefits. Current work aims to determine the accumulated content of PTEs (Pb, Cd, Cr, As, and Hg) in chickens and poultry feeds commercially sold in Bangladesh markets and compare with WHO, FAO, EU, EC, FSANZ standards.

The Impact of Non-Dysentery Shigella Infection on the Growth and Health of Children over Time (INSIGHT)-A Prospective Case-Control Study Protocol.

(1) spp. (Shigella) is known for causing dysentery with blood in stool, but most children infected with Shigella have non-dysentery Shigella-associated diarrhea (NDSD). The World Health Organization recommends the use of antibiotics when diarrhea is bloody, leaving most NDSD cases untreated.

Structural, morphological, dielectric, electric and magnetic properties of ceramics for multifunctional applications.

Herein, the standard solid-state reaction process was employed to synthesize the polycrystalline BaDyTiMnO ( = 0.0000-0.0085) ceramics and each composition was sintered at 1200 °C for 3 h.

Spatial Heterogeneity in Hedonic Price Effects for Lake Water Quality.

This study uses Zillow's ZTRAX property transaction database to investigate variation in hedonic price effects of water clarity on single-family houses throughout the United States. We consider five spatial scales and estimate models using different sample selection criteria and model specifications. Our results indicate considerable spatial heterogeneity both within and across the four U.

Spatial distribution of heavy metal abundance at distance gradients of roadside agricultural soil from the busiest highway in Bangladesh: A multi-index integration approach.

Bangladesh is currently experiencing significant infrastructural development in road networking system through the construction or reconstruction of multiple roads and highways. Consequently, there is a rise in traffic intensity on roads and highways, along with a significant contamination of adjacent agricultural soils with heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ecological risk, health risk and the abundance of seven heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, As, and Ni) in three distance gradients (0, 300, and 500 m) of agricultural soil along the Dhaka-Chattogram highway.
