The effect of free radical processes on the oxidation-phosphorylation activity in the liver of CBA-mice has been studied, using a model of toxic form viral infection. The EPR-spectroscopic and electrochemical methods applied in the study of animals infected with pathogenic form of the influenza virus made it possible to reveal a decrease in the activity of the respiratory chain in mitochondria. This seems likely to be due to accumulation of endogenic nitric oxide in the liver tissue.

ssp. is well known as a Cd hyperaccumulator. Yet, understanding how this plant survives in a high Cd environment without appearing toxicity signs is far from complete.

It has an impact on social, economic, and health issues, particularly for children under five who account for the majority of poisonings worldwide. Poisoning can result in mild cases, serious complications, or even death; oral ingestion is the most common way that poisoning occurs in children.

Introduction: Radiation may unintentionally injure myocardial tissue, potentially leading to radiation-induced cardiac disease (RICD), with the net benefit of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radiotherapy (RT) due to the proximity of the lung and heart. RTOG-0617 showed a greater reduction in overall survival (OS) comparing higher doses to standard radiation doses in NSCLC RT. VHeart has been reported as an OS predictor in the first- and fifth-year follow-ups.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide, accounting for 1 in 6 cancer deaths. Surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy are the three pillars of breast cancer treatment, with several strategies developed to combine them. The association of preoperative radiotherapy with immunotherapy may improve breast cancer tumor control by exploiting the tumor radio-induced immune priming.
