Phenytoin metabolism is best described using nonlinear (Michaelis-Menton) kinetics. When calculated pharmacokinetic values, including half life and clearance, do not correspond to measured variables, alternative reasons must be sought. We present an interesting case of phenytoin toxicity and suggest that formation of a bezoar may be one possible answer to prolonged toxicity.

Effects of Early-life PFAS Exposure on Child Neurodevelopment: A Review of the Evidence and Research gaps.
Curr Environ Health Rep
January 2025
AJ Drexel Autism Institute, Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA, PA.
Purpose Of Review: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals with many modern applications, leading to widespread contamination and universal human exposure. PFAS exposure during early life is of particular concern, given susceptibility of the developing fetal and infant brain to toxic exposures. This review aims to synthesize current evidence, discuss methodological challenges, and highlight research gaps to guide future studies on the impact of PFAS on neurodevelopment.

Air pollution is a global environmental health hazard associated with elevated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to various air pollutants, specifically particulate matter (PM), ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM), and diesel exhaust particles, may exacerbate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. PM exposure can directly impair cardiomyocyte survival under ischemic conditions by inducing inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and dysregulation of non-coding RNAs.

Professor, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Tr-35340, Turkey.
Objective: This study investigated the use of oral rinse solutions formulated with boron-containing compounds, known for their antibacterial activity, as an alternative to chlorhexidine (CHX).
Material And Method: Boron nitride (BN), boric acid (BA) and sodium borate (SB) were used in the study. BN was used in nanosuspension (BN-NS) due to its low solubility in water.
Chemically Patterning Lithiophilic Interphase to Harmonize Spatial Electrons and Thermal Catalysis Dynamics for Safe Lithium Metal Batteries.

Lithium metal batteries have garnered significant attention as promising energy storage solutions. However, their performance is often compromised by the risks associated with highly active metallic lithium, unrestricted electrode expansion, and excessive dendrites growth. Here we introduce an advanced lithiophilic anode substrate designed by chemically patterning technology for multiple security enhancements.

Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) have recently emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for degrading extracellular and membrane-associated pathogenic proteins by hijacking lysosome-targeting receptors. However, the antitumor performance of LYTAC is limited by its insufficient tumor accumulation and nonspecific activation. Additionally, the synergistic effects of LYTACs and other therapeutic modalities are crucial.
