Individual and combined effects of cadmium and lead exposure in rats.

The exposure of humans and animals to environmental compounds is rarely restricted to a single chemical. Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are two heavy metals known to be the most toxic. Deleterious effects of each metal alone are well documented.

Secondary Organising Pneumonia Caused by Denosumab.

Introduction: Organising pneumonia belongs to diffuse interstitial lung diseases; we distinguish the cryptogenic organising pneumonia, which is idiopathic, from the secondary organising pneumonia caused by drugs or a defined cause. Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody, rarely inducing adverse pulmonary effects.

Case Description: A 57-year-old female patient was admitted to our chest clinic for acute respiratory distress.

Self-warming blankets versus active warming by forced-air devices for preventing hypothermia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Unintended perioperative hypothermia is a significant complication for patients undergoing anesthesia. Different measures are routinely undertaken to prevent hypothermia and its consequences. The evidence comparing the impact of self-warming blankets and forced-air warming is scarce.

Estimated Prevalence of Tuberculosis in Ruminants from Slaughterhouses in Constantine Province (Northeastern Algeria): A 10-Year Retrospective Survey (2011-2020).

Tuberculosis (TB) is considered one of the most widespread and devastating zoonotic diseases in low-income countries, with a cosmopolitan distribution. The aim of this 10-year retrospective survey (from 2011 to 2020) was to determine the frequency of bovine, ovine, and goat tuberculosis in different local slaughterhouses across Constantine Province, Algeria. The control of livestock carcasses was systematically performed by veterinarian inspectors, after each stage of the slaughter process.

New variant of persistent primitive trigeminal artery associated with duplicated basilar artery: a radiological case report.

Purpose: This article reports a new variant of the persistent primitive trigeminal artery. This variant does not exist in Salas and Saltzman classifications.

Methods: We analyzed CTA images of a 39-year-old male patient using RadiAnt.

Metallic trace element dynamics in Paracentrotus lividus from Algeria: Environmental and human health risk assessment.

This paper evaluates the dynamic of Metallic Trace Elements (MTEs; Cd, Pb, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni and Co) in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus collected in five sites: four contaminated and one reference, along the western coast of Algeria, recontextualizes this contamination within a wider geographical distribution area throughout 84 sites among the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic and focuses on the potential risk on human health for the first time in Algeria. The Trace Element Pollution Index places Algeria, and generally the North African coasts, as the region most contaminated by MTEs. The Trace Element Spatial Variation Index ranks Pb as a MTE of key environmental concern according to global spatial variability.

Recent Advances on the Genetics of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been acknowledged as a significant cause of acute myocardial infarction, predominantly in young to middle-aged women. SCAD often occurs in patients with fewer cardiovascular risk factors than atherosclerotic acute myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, SCAD remains underdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness among health care providers leading to misdiagnosis.

Unmet need in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Middle East and Africa region: An expert panel consensus.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a significant impact on healthcare systems and health-related quality of life. Increased prevalence of smoking is an important factor contributing to high burden of COPD in the Middle East and Africa (MEA). Several other factors including sedentary lifestyle, urbanization, second-hand smoke, air pollution, and occupational exposure are also responsible for the upsurge of COPD in the MEA.

This research was aimed at evaluating the seasonal partitioning of Zn, Se, As, Cu, and Co in the tissues of Mytilus galloprovincialis sampled at two industrial sites along the Algerian coast. Adult mussels were seasonally collected from two sites over the course of a whole year. The gills, digestive glands, gonads, and remaining soft tissues were analyzed through ICP-MS.

RPL Enhancement to Support Video Traffic for IoMT Applications.

Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT), a special subset of Internet of Things (IoT), is a novel paradigm which is progressively increasing and gaining in popularity, allowing many multimedia content based applications such as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). The standard IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks (RPL), originally designed for transmitting scalar data traffic of IoT applications, should be customized in order to deal with IoMT applications which pose new challenges and requirements in terms of the Quality of Service (QoS) and the user's Quality of Experience (QoE). For this purpose and thanks to the flexibility and adaptability of RPL, we propose, in this paper, a multipath version of RPL, not defined in the RPL specification RFC 6550, named MP-RPL.
