The development of an exposure system suitable for studying the uptake and elimination kinetics in fish of volatile chemicals is discussed. Static exposure of the fish is in a closed system containing water and air. Automated sampling and analysis of the air provides a concentration-time profile that is then fit to differential equations using numerical integration methods. Assumptions for the mathematical description of the system are a) instantaneous distribution of chemical between water and air and b) a first order one-compartment model describes the kinetics of chemical in fish. Uptake and elimination rate constants in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were determined for a mixture of benzene, toluene, monochlorobenzene, monobromobenzene, and 1,3-dichlorobenzene. No significant biotransformation was observed for any of the compounds. Uptake rate constants increased with increasing octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow), whereas the elimination rate constants were inversely related to Kow.

Background: Retesting for HIV during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum is crucial for identifying new infections and ensuring timely interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Uganda's national guidelines recommend that pregnant women be retested in the 3rd trimester or during labor/delivery. However, limited information exists regarding adherence to these guidelines, which may affect the effectiveness of PMTCT efforts.

The increasing demand for sustainable, robust, and cost-efficient arsenic (As) treatment techniques strengthens the implementation of new constructed wetland (CW) designs like aerated CWs in the agricultural sector. The aim was to assess and contrast the influence of various aeration rates on As elimination in subsurface flow CW utilizing plants for treating As-polluted sand. This study consisted of an experiment with 16 subsurface flow CW, operating at different As concentrations of 0, 5, 22, and 39 mg kg and aeration rates of 0, 0.

Background: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radioligand therapy, with immunomodulatory effects, has shown efficacy in both preclinical and clinical studies. We recently reported on a novel dimeric FAP-targeting radiopharmaceutical, Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI), which demonstrated increased tumor uptake and prolonged retention in various cancers. However, further exploration is required to understand the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of combining Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI) radioligand therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Population-level estimates in timeframes for reaching cervical cancer (CC) elimination (ie, <4 cases per 100,000 women) in the United States may mask potential disparities in achieving elimination among sub-populations. We used three independent Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) models to estimate differences in the time to CC elimination across seven strata of correlated screening and human papillomavirus vaccination uptake, based on national survey data. Compared to the average population, elimination was achieved ≥22 years earlier for the high-uptake strata and ≥27 years later for the most extreme low-uptake strata.
