This study presents the results of an environment investigation and monitoring of chlorpyrifos contamination in the vicinity of a pesticide enterprise in East China, focusing on its relation to environmental and human health risks. The impact zone of chlorpyrifos is particularly pronounced within approximately 2 km of the enterprise. The highest levels of outdoor dust were observed in SP1, which is closest to the enterprise. The individual health risk of exposure to chlorpyrifos through different media - such as indoor air, rice, vegetables, drinking water and indoor dust - was assessed following the procedure defined by the USEPA. The non-carcinogenic risks to both adults and children do not exceed the permissible standard of 1, suggesting no non-carcinogenic risks due to chlorpyrifos exposure. However, the average daily dose calculated by exposure assessment model shows that children are exposed to higher doses of chlorpyrifos compared to adults due to their lifestyle habits and play patterns.

This research aimed to measure radon activity concentrations in bottled drinking water (BDW) samples consumed in Kahramanmaraş town, Turkiye. Also, to evaluate the health risk that may occur as a result of internal irradiation resulting from ingestion and inhalation of radon in BDW samples, the total annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) for infants, children, and adults (1-2 y, 2-12 y, and > 17 y) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) for adults (> 17 y) had to be calculated. For these purposes, 32 water samples of different volumes belonging to 8 different commercial brands, representing a large part of the BDW consumed as drinking water and sold commercially in Kahramanmaraş were collected by purchasing from markets.

Introduction: A better understanding of who will develop dementia can inform patient care. Although MRI offers prognostic insights, access is limited globally, whereas CT-imaging is readily available in acute stroke. We explored the prognostic utility of acute CT-imaging for predicting dementia.

Assessing the safety of increased outpatient cephalosporin use following the modification of penicillin allergy cross-reactivity alerts.

Department of Pharmaceutical Care, University of Iowa Health Care, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Background: Concerns about penicillin-cephalosporin cross-reactivity have historically led to conservative prescribing and avoidance of cephalosporins in patients with penicillin allergy labels, potentially causing suboptimal outcomes. Recent evidence suggests a lower risk of cross-reactivity, prompting a reassessment of alert systems.
Objective: To assess the impact of limited penicillin cross-reactivity alerts on outpatient cephalosporin use and the incidence of adverse reactions in a healthcare setting.

Fine particulate matter (PM) is linked to dementia risk, but ultrafine particles (UFPs, <100 nm) may be even more toxic due to their distinct physicochemical properties. However, evidence on UFPs and dementia remains limited. This study assessed the association between UFP exposure and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) among U.
