Single-molecule fluorescence optical tweezers studies combined with high-speed AFM reveal early events in the HBV life cycle.
A February 3, 2023 train derailment and subsequent burn released hazardous chemicals into East Palestine, Ohio. One potential exposure was polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, coplanar biphenyls (cPCBs), collectively referred to as dioxins. Many studies have linked dioxins numerous health effects. pilot study conducted July 17-18, assess residents' serum dioxin levels. Eighteen persons who were White, nonsmokers with a mean age of 55, 56% female, provided for analysis....
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of death in United States, and while conventional chemotherapy remains standard treatment, responses are poor. Safe alternative therapeutic strategies urgently needed
Background/Aim: The association between heavy metal exposure and adverse birth outcomes is well-established. However, there a paucity of research identifying biomarker profiles that may improve the early detection metal-induced outcomes. Because lipids are abundant in our body associated with important signaling pathways, we assessed associations maternal metals/metalloid blood levels lipidomic among 83 pregnant women Puerto Rico PROTECT cohort. Methods: We measured 10 during 24–28 weeks...
<b>Abstract ID 100225</b> <b>Poster Board 015</b> <b>Background and Purpose</b> Vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) is a critical concern in hospitalized patients with sepsis. Frequent use of vancomycin, broad-spectrum antibiotic, to empirically treat septic insufficient mitigation strategies necessitate novel renoprotective intervention. In recent retrospective analysis, we observed significantly lower incidence VA-AKI receiving melatonin, preferred sleep medication...
Background/Aim: Heavy metals are known to induce oxidative stress and inflammation, the association between metal exposure adverse birth outcomes is well established. However, there a paucity of research on identifying biomarker profiles linking exposures that may help inform strategies for prevention, detection, and/or intervention. Eicosanoids important lipid molecules regulate inflammation in human body, growing evidence suggests associations plasma eicosanoids pregnancy outcomes....
Studies have revealed a link between aberrant levels of maternal C-reactive protein (CRP) and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) with adverse birth outcomes. Some epidemiologic studies indicated that long-term metal exposures can modulate the CRP CAMs, but associations prenatal CAMs yet to be studied more extensively. In this study, we assessed blood CRP/CAMs among 617 pregnant women in Puerto Rico PROTECT cohort.Blood samples were collected from participants at 16-20 (visit 1) 24-28 3) weeks...
Background/Aim Infant non-nutritive suck (NNS) has been used as an early marker of neonatal brain function. Although there is established relationship between prenatal exposure to certain metals and development, the association metal NNS not explored. Therefore, in this study we assessed associations maternal urinary metal(loid) concentrations measurements among infants from Puerto Rico PROTECT birth cohort. We hypothesized that are significantly associated with infant measures a...
