This work aimed to examine the influence of storage period on content toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) in five types canned meat products regularly used Serbian Armed Forces. Cans beef goulash (BG), pork ragout (PR), spam (SP), liver pate (LP), meatballs tomato sauce (MB), produced according military standards stored under regular conditions, were analyzed. Meat packed tin cans made special ...

Lakes are water bodies that play an essential role as sources for humanity, they provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate Lake Pomacochas, high Andean lake in the north Peru. A variety parameters were studied, including physicochemical such temperature (T°C), dissolved oxygen (DO), potential hydrogen (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, total...

Trace elements are a major area of nutritional status which influence brain functioning and behavior. Recent studies have found significantly abnormal levels of trace nutritive minerals and trace toxic metals in the head hair of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Utilizing hair element analysis, this study examined 26 trace elements in two groups of young Appalachian children: an economic...

Titanium alloys, particularly Ti6Al4V, are commonly used in biomedical applications. However, the inclusion of aluminum (Al) and vanadium (V) this alloy can cause cytotoxic effects human body, resulting Alzheimer’s disease cancer. This study compares performance biocompatible alloys containing non-toxic elements, such as tin (Sn) niobium (Nb), which considered safe for implantation. Two sets we...

The somatosensory system comprises those elements of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS) subserving the modalities of touch, vibration, temperature, pain and kinesthesia. Specific modalities can be associated with unique peripheral receptors, peripheral axons of stereotyped diameter and specific central projection pathways. Several features of the somatosens...

Objectives . To gain knowledge on toxic elements in semi-domesticated reindeer and their distribution in meat, liver, tallow and bone marrow. The correlations between concentrations in meat and liver, as well as the use of the latter as an indicator for toxic elements in meat, were also investigated. Study design . Cross-sectional study on population of semi-domesticated reindeer from 2 norther...
