Health risk assessment of heavy metal accumulation in fruits exposed to geothermal waters: a case study and global implications

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study investigated the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the fruits and leaves of mulberry and sour cherry trees exposed to water from Sivas geothermal basin (Turkey). RESULTS The target HMs were ranked according to their hazard index as: Cd < Pb < Zn < Cu < Ni < Mn < Cr. The total hazard index for mulberry

Therapeutic Challenges in Managing Coexisting Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Clinical Case Study

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting intertriginous areas. Long‐standing HS can undergo malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), particularly in the perineal and gluteal regions. We report a 54‐year‐old man with severe, treatment‐refractory HS complicated by an aggressive verrucous

The Physician Global Assessment as a Proxy for Photoaging: Validation in an Observational Real‐World Cohort Using SCINEXA as the Reference Standard

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Photoaging is a chronic skin condition caused by cumulative ultraviolet exposure superimposed on intrinsic aging. Although the SCore of INtrinsic and EXtrinsic skin Aging (SCINEXA) is a validated multidimensional instrument for assessing photoaging, the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) is a simpler clinician‐reported measure whose ...
