The question of the potential for exposure to inorganic arsenic in water through dermal contact is important when providing guidance about treatment options to private well owners. If dermal contact with the water is an exposure route of concern, then whole house treatment is required, while if only oral exposure is considered, then treatment at the kitchen tap will be sufficient. For this reas...

background t-2 toxin is a mycotoxin, exposure to which causes dermal and systemic toxicity. crataegus pontica (a member of the rosaceous family) is a small tree with caduceus foliage that is widely distributed throughout the western and central areas of iran. objectives this study was performed to examine the healing effects of creams prepared using crataegus pontica leaf extract on dermal toxi...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a ubiquitous group of persistent chemicals distributed globally in the environment. Skin aging is notorious process that prematurely induced by interaction between endogenous exogenous factors, including exposure to environmental chemicals. The existing evidence suggests skin absorption PFASs through dermal contact may be an important route these ...

the last decade has ushered in a rapidly expanding global discussion regarding acellular dermal matrix (adm) applications, economic analyses, technical considerations, benefits, and risks, with recent emphasis on adm use in breast surgery. this study aims to evaluate global trends in adm research using bibliometric analysis. the top nine plastic surgery journals were determined by impact factor...

AIM Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models are computational tools, which simulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of chemicals. The purpose of this study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model with a high level of transparency. The model should be able to predict blood and urine concentrations of environmental chemicals and metabo...

In recent years, regulatory and public attention has become focused on the potential risks associated with exposure to chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood – the most widely used wood treatment product in the United States. CCA has been used to treat lumber for over 60 years (1), mainly because of the extended lifetime of CCA-treated wood as compared to untreated wood (2-5) and the high...
