Abstract Beryllium (Be) is known to be one of the most toxic elements but at the same time exerts a stimulating effect on plant growth. Despite this contradiction, little is known about the Be metabolism in living organisms, partially because of the low amounts present and because the analysis of Be in plants by ICP‐MS remains challenging.

Outras pneumoconioses Other pneumoconioses
As pneumoconioses mais prevalentes são a silicose, a asbestose e a pneumoconiose do trabalhador do carvão. Outras pneumoconioses com repercussões clínicas, funcionais e estruturais distintas são causadas pela inalação de poeiras metálicas a partir de ...

Non-Infectious Granulomatous Lung Disease : Imaging Findings with Pathologic Correlation [PDF]
Non-infectious granulomatous lung disease represents a diverse group of disorders characterized by pulmonary opacities associated with granulomatous inflammation, a relatively nonspecific finding commonly encountered by pathologists.

Background The ACE gene contains a polymorphism consisting of either the presence (insertion, I) or absence (deletion, D) of a 287 bp alu repeat in intron 16. The D allele is associated with increased ACE activity in both tissue and plasma.

Lung cancer treatment outcomes in recipients of lung transplant [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lung transplant recipients develop lung cancer more commonly than the general population. The best treatment approach for these patients is unclear. The goal of this study is to evaluate treatment outcomes in this population. METHODS: We used

Smoking inhibits the frequency of bronchovascular bundle thickening in sarcoidosis [PDF]
RATIONALE/OBJECTIVES: Smoking has been associated with decreased incidence and prevalence of sarcoidosis, but few studies have evaluated effects of smoking on clinical parameters of the disease. The objectives were to determine the association of smoking

Geochemistry of trace elements as one of the important coal quality parameter: an example from Balingian Coal, Malaysia [PDF]
Ash and sulphur are the two main variables that influence coal quality and are therefore very important contractual parameters in a coal supply agreement. Coal which is low in ash yield and sulphur content is considered as ‘cleaned coal’.

Gene-environment interactions in sarcoidosis [PDF]
Susceptibility to most human diseases is polygenic, with complex interactions between functional polymorphisms of single genes governing disease incidence, phenotype, or both. In this context, the contribution of any discrete gene is generally modest for

Beryllium chemistry: A detailed study on the interaction of saccharide‐mimicking ligands with Be2+ delivered the first comprehensive knowledge on the preferred binding environment around Be ions in polysaccharides and glycoproteins (see graphic). Additional experiments enabled elucidation of beryllium‐induced alterations in biomolecules, which sheds ...
