- Titanium dioxide (TiO) is commonly used in food, cosmetics, and paint but is toxic to humans and the environment.
- A study examined the effects of different concentrations of TiO nanoparticles (both commercially and synthetically produced) on nematodes, focusing on their survival, reproduction, movement, and gene expression.
- Results showed that while survival and body length were unaffected, higher concentrations of TiO NPs led to reduced reproduction, decreased movement, shorter lifespan, and increased gene expression of certain stress-related genes, with commercial TiO exhibiting more toxicity than synthetic TiO.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the factors affecting early and late cochlear implantation.
Materials And Methods: A total of 159 patients from the Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) Cochlear Implant Programme were recruited in this retrospective cross-sectional study. All paediatric Cochlear Implant (CI) recipients with pre-lingual deafness were included in this retrospective study.
Background: Mirror therapy (MT) has been used as a treatment for various neurological disorders. Recent application of electroencephalogram (EEG) to the MT study allows researchers to gain insight into the changes in brain activity during the therapy.
Objective: This scoping review is aimed at mapping existing evidence and identifying knowledge gaps about the effects of MT on upper limb recovery and its application for individuals with chronic stroke.
Due to the sparsity in knowledge, we investigated the presence of various estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), including phthalates (PAEs), bisphenol-A (BPA), and nonylphenol (NP), as well as microplastics (MPs) in samples of the most widely consumed fish collected from different estuaries in northern Taiwan. We then proceeded to determine the likely contribution that this exposure has on the potential for health impacts in humans following consumption of the fish. Six hundred fish caught from five river estuaries (producing 130 pooled samples) were analyzed to determine how different factors (such as the river, benthic, pelagic, and migratory species) influence EEDCs' contamination and the possible impacts on human health following typical consumption patterns.
