Findings are that lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system are the most sensitive processes--that was proved by malonic dialdehyde accumulation, higher ceruloplasmin and lower catalase levels.

Purpose: Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (POSH) is a common complication after total thyroidectomy. This study aims to assess the accuracy of serum and ionized calcium and PTH levels on the first postoperative day (POD-1) to predict postoperative hypocalcemia (PoHC), transient hypoparathyroidism (THPT), and permanent hypoparathyroidism (PtHPT).
Methods: Biochemical parameters and clinical variables were retrospectively analyzed in 200 patients.

Background: Arsenic emerges as most potent hazardous element ranked as number one in ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) list, can easily accumulate in fish, transported to humans via consumption and affect humans and aquatic organisms. Considering above, current experiment designed to evaluate cyto-genotoxicity and histological alterations induced by arsenic in Labeo rohita used as an animal model.
Methods: By applying complete randomized design sampling acclimatized individuals of Labeo rohita (10 batches of 10 each with triplicates) were exposed to nine definitive doses (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 mgL) of arsenic in glass aquaria to determine 96-h lethal concentration (LC) of arsenic.

Lead (Pb) toxicity impairs the growth, yield, and biochemical traits of rice, making it essential to mitigate Pb stress in soil and restore its growth and production. This study investigated the potential of ascorbic acid-coated quantum dots (AsA-QDs) in alleviating Pb stress in two rice cultivars, Japonica (JP-5) and Indica (Super Basmati), grown in pots under Pb stress (50 mg/kg as lead chloride) with AsA-QD suspensions (50 ppm and 100 ppm) as treatments. The synthesized AsA-QDs were characterized by zeta potential (-14.

Seeds of four native species of trees and shrubs (Larrea cuneifolia, Bulnesia retama, Plectrocarpa tetracantha and Prosopis flexuosa) were exposed to soil contaminated with As, Cu, Cd, and Zn from an abandoned gold mine to identify adaptation strategies. Several physiological, morpho-anatomical, and biochemical parameters were determined. The seed germination of L.

Background Aims: Bulevirtide (BLV) is a novel and the only approved treatment option for patients with chronic hepatitis D (CHD). BLV alleviates liver inflammation already early during treatment when only minor HDV RNA changes are observed. We hypothesized that BLV-treatment may influence immune cells in CHD patients and performed a high-resolution analysis of natural killer (NK) cells before and during BLV-therapy.
