The author has studied the cadmium concentration in uterine myomas, myometrial tissue and peripheral blood in 72 women living in Lower Silesia. The highest cadmium concentration was observed in myometrial tissue, lower in uterine myomas and the lowest in the peripheral blood. The differences among the tissues were statistically significant. There were no significant differences in the cadmium concentration concerning the women's age. There was significant positive correlation in the cadmium concentration between the myomas and the myometrium.

DNA methylation is a critical step in brain development, 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mdC) is one of the global DNA methylation markers. Arsenic and lead exposures have been associated with neurotoxicity, which may be linked to epigenetic changes. Our research sought to investigate the correlation between 5mdC and developmental delay (DD) among preschoolers.

Cadmium (Cd) is a silvery-white and shiny heavy metal that is common in daily life and can adversely affect the development, lifespan, and reproduction of organisms. In this study, Drosophila melanogaster (F) were cultured from eggs to adults in medium containing different Cd concentrations (0, 2.25, and 4.

Tobacco, being a globally cultivated crop, holds significant social and economic importance. Tobacco plants are susceptible to the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs), particularly cadmium (Cd), which hinders root development, disrupts water balance, and impedes nutrient absorption. Higher concentrations of HMs, especially Cd, naturally accumulate in tobacco leaves due to complex interactions within the plant-soil continuum.

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the origin and to explain the maintenance of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) isolated from food-producing animals in a third-generation cephalosporin (3GC)-free farm.
Methods: Culture and molecular approaches were used to test molecules other than 3GC such as antibiotics (tetracycline and oxytetracycline), antiparasitics (ivermectin, flumethrin, fenbendazol, and amitraz), heavy metal [arsenic, HNO, aluminum, HNO, cadmium (CdSO), zinc (ZnCl), copper (CuSO), iron (FeCl), and aluminum (AlSO)], and antioxidant (butylated hydroxytoluene) as sources of selective pressure. Whole-genome sequencing using short read (Illumina™) and long read (Nanopore™) technologies was performed on 34 genomes.
