Background: Lead, a potent neurotoxin, causes irreversible damage to the nervous system, and low- and middle-income countries face huge health and economic productivity losses due to childhood lead exposure. In Bangladesh, informal Used Lead Acid Battery (ULAB) recycling sites are an important source of lead pollution. Little is known about lead awareness among communities exposed to ULAB recycling.

Introduction: Thebaine is an alkaloid in poppy seeds that is neurotoxic to animals. Data on its clinical effects and toxicokinetics in people are minimal. In 2022, poppy seeds high in thebaine entered the Australian food market, and people consuming tea made from these poppy seeds developed poisoning.

Introduction: Poppy seed tea is used for its opioid effects and contains multiple opium alkaloids, including morphine, codeine, papaverine, and thebaine. Animal studies indicate thebaine has strychnine-like properties, but there is limited literature describing human thebaine poisoning. We describe a cluster of acute thebaine poisoning in people ingesting tea made using poppy seeds with high thebaine content that entered the Australian food supply chain.

is one of the important human and plant pathogens causing not only invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients but also crop contamination resulting from carcinogenic aflatoxins (AFs). Investigation of the targeting factors that are involved in pathogenicity is of unmet need to dismiss the hazard. Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyzes the reversible conversion between glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, thus acting as a key node for glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and cell wall biosynthesis in fungi.
