Successful aging is likely to involve both genetic and environmental factors, but environmental toxicants that accelerate aging are not known. Human exposure to mercury is common, and mercury has genotoxic, autoimmune, and free radical effects which ...

Wetlands play a vital role in contaminant cycling and uptake. Understanding how sulfate (SO4 2‒) influences the conversion of inorganic mercury (Hg(II)) to toxic methylmercury (MeHg) is critical for predicting wetland responses to land use and climate ...

Association of the ICH Score With Withdrawal of Life‐Sustaining Treatment Over a 10‐Year Period
ABSTRACT Objective The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score was developed to enhance provider communication and facilitate early severity assessment. We examined the association of the ICH score with mortality and withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment (WLST) in a large, multicenter stroke registry, and evaluated temporal trends in these associations.

Model analyses of atmospheric mercury: present air quality and effects of transpacific transport on the United States [PDF]
Atmospheric mercury is a toxic air and water pollutant that is of significant concern because of its effects on human health and ecosystems. A mechanistic representation of the atmospheric mercury cycle is developed for the state-of-the-art global ...

Dear Sir: —InThe Journal, Jan. 21, page 95, column "Book Reviews," and in commendation of " 600 Medical Don'ts," the review says: "To the other 'don'ts ' might be added: Don't imagine that mercury can get into your bones," etc. What then shall we do with authority so high and so generally accepted as Bartholow? In his "Materia Medica," fifth edition,

Thermal desorption of mercury from lignite in a high-temperature furnace and in power plant mills
In this article, the binding forms of two lignite samples are determined by thermal desorption using a high-temperature furnace. Each mercury compound, such as HgCl2, has a specific binding strength whose decomposition requires a certain thermal energy ...

Functional Role of the RNA-Binding Protein Rbm24a and Its Target sox2 in Microphthalmia
Congenital eye defects represent a large class of disorders affecting roughly 21 million children worldwide. Microphthalmia and anophthalmia are relatively common congenital defects, with approximately 20% of human cases caused by mutations in SOX2 ...

A new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
. Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg0. Oxidation to water-soluble HgII plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems.
