Background: Due to environmental contamination in recent years, contamination of food chain by heavy metals is not far-fetched. The purpose of this study is to determine heavy metals in soybeans cultivated in Iran to monitor the food chemical contaminants. Methods: To assess metal contamination, four varieties (Sahar, Katool, Williams, and M7) of soybean cultivated in Iran, were collected. Met...

Bu çalışmada, İstanbul ilinin yapım yılları farklı iki otoyolu olan, E80 Tem Otoyolu ve Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu’nun bölgelerinden alınan 36 adet toprak numunesinin inorganik element konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi, ayrıca kirlilik faktörü (CF) jeo-birikim (Igeo) indeksi hesaplamaları yapılarak, çevre toksikolojisi halk sağlığı çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Indüktif Eşleşmiş Plaz...

Plant growth, pigment concentration, biochemical parameters and uptake of heavy metals were determined for Brassica juncea L. in response to cadmium and lead stress. The plant exhibited a decline in growth, chlorophyll content and carotenoids with Cd and Pb but Cd was found to be more detrimental than Pb treatment in B. juncea. The protein content was decreased by Cd (900 μM) to 95% and 44% by ...

Overlying water, sediment, rhizosphere sediment and mangrove seedlings in the Futian mangrove forest were analyzed for heavy metals. The results showed that mangrove plant acidified sediment and increased organic matter contents. Except for chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) in Aegiceras corniculatum sediment, heavy metals in all sediments were higher than in overlying water, rhizospher...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in masticatory efficiency among patients with different Angle's classes of malocclusion and to assess the correlation between masticatory efficiency and the occlusal contact area. METHODS The mixing ability index (MAI) was calculated for measuring masticatory efficiency of 61 adult patients according to Angle's classific...

Offshore breakwaters can be effective in reducing the energy of incident waves through dissipation, refraction or reflection. Breakwaters are increasingly constructed to stabilize eroded muddy coasts, particularly developing countries. Accumulation fine-grained sediment and wave attenuation two attributes a stable coast. Effective interventions stabilizing coasts include important elements: acc...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently associated with dyslipidemia. Previous studies have demonstrated that sleep fragmentation can impair lipid metabolism. The present study aimed to identify whether sleep fragmentation is independently associated with dyslipidemia, in a large-scale, clinic-based consecutive OSA sample. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,686 patients who...
