Auto-mechanics who often work without safety measures are vulnerable to the harmful effects of toxic metals like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). These toxic metals exert their deleterious effect by interacting with the micronutrients at their primary site of action. This study aimed to investigate the effects of toxic metal exposure on serum micronutrient levels of auto-mechanics in Nigeria.

The optimal therapeutic intervention for pediatrics with optic pathway glioma (OPG) remained controversial in the literature. Recently, due to substantial adverse events (AEs) of chemotherapy and its impact on children's lives, the efficacy of other options has been investigated. Bevacizumab (BVZ) is an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent that alters the lesion microenvironment.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of fluid volume fluctuations quantified with artificial intelligence in optical coherence tomography scans during the maintenance phase and visual outcomes at 12 and 24 months in a real-world, multicentre, national cohort of treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) eyes.
Methods: Demographics, visual acuity (VA) and number of injections were collected using the Fight Retinal Blindness tool. Intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), pigment epithelial detachment (PED), total fluid (TF) and central subfield thickness (CST) were quantified using the RetinAI Discovery tool.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise in environmental protection, owing to their exceptional properties including ultrahigh surface area and porosity, tunable pore size, and easy chemical functionalization. However, emerging evidence from experimental studies indicates that MOFs have side effects on human health due to metal ions doping, resulting in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, pro-inflammatory responses, and liver fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the impact of MOF-199 on human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells by using transcriptome sequencing analysis.

Sugarcane smut is a widespread fungal disease, which severely impairs the quality and sugar yield of sugarcane. Early detection is crucial for mitigating its impact, which makes the development of a highly sensitive and accurate detection method essential. Herein, the Mn-doped zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF-67), synthesized via a nano-confined-reactor approach, is designed to significantly enhance electron transport and boost the enzyme loading capacity within biofuel cells, thereby potentially enhancing their overall performance.
