Geospatial model of organophosphate insecticide residues in shallot land in Wanasari Sub-district, Brebes Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia [PDF]
Organophosphates are a group of chemicals that are still allowed to be used in Indonesia and much preferred by most farmers. Excessive usage of organophosphate is expected to contaminate the soil, water, plants, the environment and humans.

Inhibition of neurite outgrowth in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells by phenyl saligenin phosphate: Effects on MAP kinase (ERK 1/2) activation, neurofilament heavy chain phosphorylation and neuropathy target esterase activity [PDF]
Sub-lethal concentrations of the organophosphate phenyl saligenin phosphate (PSP) inhibited the outgrowth of axon-like processes in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells (IC50 2.5 μM).

Pharmacological Blockade of the Calcium Plateau Provides Neuroprotection Following Organophosphate Paraoxon Induced Status Epilepticus in Rats [PDF]
Organophosphate (OP) compounds which include nerve agents and pesticides are considered chemical threat agents. Currently approved antidotes are crucial in limiting OP mediated acute mortality.

Atomic layer deposition of aluminum phosphate based on the plasma polymerization of trimethyl phosphate [PDF]
Aluminum phosphate thin films were deposited by plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a sequence of trimethyl phosphate (TMP, Me3PO4) plasma, O-2 plasma, and trimethylaluminum (TMA, Me3Al) exposures.

Plasma Cholinesterase Levels of Nepalese Farmers Following Exposure to Organophosphate Pesticides
Background: Farmers in developing countries use highly toxic organophosphate pesticides. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare plasma cholinesterase (PChE) enzyme activity before and after exposure to organophosphate pesticides in a real-life ...
