Food Contamination and Safety in Nigeria: A Systematic Synthesis of Heavy Metals, Microbial Pathogens, and Health Risk Metrics

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This is an infographic driver of food contaminants and health effects. ABSTRACT Food safety remains a critical challenge in Nigeria due to rapid urbanization and weak regulatory enforcement. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from 2015 to 2025 to characterize food contaminant profiles and associated human health risks in Nigeria ...

Glucose transport activity measured in giant vesicles

, 2018
Incorporation of membrane proteins and internal reporter systems directly into giant vesicles, during their formation from a hydrogel surface, has emerged as a promising new concept in membrane protein characterization.

The Unusual Mass of Retrovesical Space: A Secondary Hydatid Cyst D?sease

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
Hydatic cyst of seminal vesicles is very rarely seen. We report a case who complained of the inability to void, which developed progressively with dysuria, frequency, nocturia, and tenesmus, due to a giant retrovesical hydatid cyst that displaced the ...

Membrane sculpting by curved DNA origami scaffolds

Nature Communications, 2018
BAR domain proteins feature a “banana-like” shape which is thought to aid membrane scaffolding and membrane tubulation. Here authors use DNA origami mimicking BAR domains, giant unilamellar vesicles and fluorescence imaging to study how different BAR ...

Multi‐omics–driven precision medicine

iMeta, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics‐driven precision medicine (MODPM) provides a multiscale, continuously learnable framework that integrates genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome profiles, and clinical data. Powered by artificial intelligence and foundation models, MODPM enables cross‐modal representation learning, contextual modeling ...

Bisphenol M Induces Dose‐Dependent Hepatic Injury and Fibrotic Remodeling in Female Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety of bisphenol analogs as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA) is increasingly concerning. This study investigated the hepatotoxic effects of bisphenol M (BPM), a widely used BPA substitute, in 6‐week‐old female BALB/c mice exposed to 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally for 14 days. Hepatic changes were assessed via histopathology,

Micellar and Solubilization Properties of Biological Surfactant Surfactin

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We studied aqueous solutions of surfactin in the concentration range of 0.001–200 g/L using NMR diffusometry, tensometry and optical microscopy methods. According to tensometry data, the system forms monolayers of surfactant molecules at the water‐air phase boundary at C = 0.02 g/L.

Extended Curettage for Local Control of Chondromyxoid Fibroma: A 33‐Year Experience at a Single Tertiary Center

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives The management of chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) primarily relies on surgical resection, but simple curettage is reportedly associated with a high local recurrence rate. While extended curettage with high‐speed burring effectively manages other locally aggressive bone tumors, its effectiveness for CMF remains unclear. We

Nail Disorders in Systemic Conditions

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nail findings in children can be indicative of an underlying systemic disease. Many of these findings are seen in multiple entities and are not specific to one disease. The importance of specifically examining for these nail changes cannot be overstated.
