Paraquat poisoning from accidental ingestion leading to fatal outcome: A case report

Journal of Acute Disease
Rationale: Paraquat, a highly toxic bipyridyl herbicide lacking a specific antidote, poses severe risks upon ingestion. However, the diagnosis of paraquat poisoning is complicated by its nonspecific initial symptoms, particularly when a detailed exposure

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Stress Conditioned Early‐Stage Screening in Biocatalysis

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.
Standard enzyme screening often overlooks industrial stress. We propose integrating conditions like pH shifts, low oxygen, interfacial deactivation, and high substrate/product levels into early high‐throughput assays. By measuring stress‐relevant metrics such as turnover under stress, cofactor efficiency, and solvent stability, the enzyme selection ...

A Case of Acute Poisoning Due to Ortho‐Dichlorobenzene Diagnosed Using Biological Volatile Gas Analysis

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
“Human skin gas”, the trace amounts of bio‐volatile gases emitted from the surface of human skin. The ortho‐dichlorobenzene was detected in an acute poisoning case from Human skin gas. The human skin gas assay was used to identify intoxicants and is useful for the diagnosis of poisoning.

Locus coeruleus alterations in dementia with Lewy bodies: A systematic review

Alzheimer's &Dementia: Translational Research &Clinical Interventions, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/March 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small nucleus located deep within the brainstem, serving as the brain's main source of noradrenergic neurons. Through its extensive projections, it plays a critical role in regulating cognitive processes and arousal.
