ABSTRACT Semi‐permanent make‐up (SPMU), or micropigmentation, involves implanting pigments into the dermal layer of the skin for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike topical cosmetics, which are rapidly cleared from the body, SPMU pigments persist in living tissues, raising unique toxicological considerations.

Temporal Dilution: Chemotherapy, Capitalism, and the Making of Cancer Time in Colombia
ABSTRACT Through the ethnographic case of a man undergoing chemotherapy for prostate cancer at a hospital in Colombia, this article examines how chemotherapy schedules make toxicity clinically manageable while imposing rhythms that many patients cannot sustain. It develops an analytic framework centered on three interrelated temporal dynamics: temporal

Investigation of an arsenic poisoning case
After lead, arsenic constitutes one of the most important toxicological hazards to farm animals. Arsenic is rather ubiquitous in nature, and trace or background levels can be found normally in nearly all animal and plant tissues. Arsenical compounds have

ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Metabolism of low-dose inorganic arsenic in a central European population: influence of sex and genetic polymorphisms. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is a wide variation in susceptibility to health effects of arsenic, which, in part, may be due to differences in arsenic metabolism.

Exposure to arsenic trioxide (As2O3) in humans is associated with dose‐dependent cortical neurodegeneration with convergent pathological mechanisms. Low and medium dose exposure induces adaptive autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR suppression and high dose exposure leads to mTOR hyperactivation, autophagic failure, microglial neuroinflammation and excitotoxic ...

Diagnosing arsenic-mediated biochemical responses in rice cultivars using Raman spectroscopy
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the primary crop for nearly half of the world’s population. Groundwater in many rice-growing parts of the world often has elevated levels of arsenite and arsenate.
