Envenomation by aquatic species is an under-investigated source of human morbidity and mortality. Increasing population density along marine and freshwater coastlines increases these incidents. Specific occupational groups - including commercial fishery workers, fisherfolk, marine tourism workers, and researchers - rely on aquatic resources for their livelihood.

Fresh passion fruit is sensitive to chilling injury (CI) during storage at improper low temperature of 5 °C, which lowers the fruit quality and limits its shelf life. The present study aimed to determine the impacts of melatonin on CI development of passion fruit in relation to antioxidant ability and membrane lipid metabolism during refrigeration. In present study, passion fruit was treated with 0.

Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, Petrozavodsk, Russia.
Objective: To establish the relevance of examining the internal organs for the presence of diatom plankton after drowning in the waters of the White Sea.
Material And Methods: We studied the biological material (fragments of lungs and kidneys) from the corpses of people found in the waters of the Kemskaya Bay and Onega Bay of the White Sea and waters from different areas of the White Sea for the presence of diatoms.
Results: In all cases of drowning in the waters of the White Sea (in the area of the city of Belomorsk and the Kem skerries), marine and freshwater diatoms were found in the lungs and kidneys of the deceased in quantities sufficient to diagnose death from drowning in water.
