ABSTRACT Background Sperm acquire fertility ability during epididymal maturation mainly in the epididymal caput and corpus, and once matured, are stored in the epididymal cauda. During storage, interactions with cauda epididymosomes (epEVs) may influence sperm fertility potential; however, the role of such interactions on sperm fertility remains ...

ABSTRACT Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by ATP7B mutations. Diagnosis is usually straightforward in symptomatic patients, but can be challenging in children and adolescents with mild liver disease, borderline urinary copper excretion, or inconclusive genetic findings.

Cadmium exposure causes serious health consequences; however, there is no clinically approved antidote for cadmium poisoning. This Phase 1a/1b trial aimed to investigate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Sodium (S)‐2‐(dithiocarboxylato((2S,3R,4R,5R)‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentahydroxyhexyl) amino)‐4‐(methylthio) butanoate (GMDTC), a novel chelating ...

Comparative review of copper-associated chronic hepatitis in dogs and Wilson disease in humans
Copper-associated chronic hepatitis (CAH) in dogs and Wilson disease (WD) in humans are progressive hepatic disorders caused by copper accumulation. Although both diseases share similar pathomechanisms of copper-induced liver injury, they diverge in some

Engineered Metal–Organic Frameworks‐Based Materials for Environmental Detection
Engineered metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) regulated by various material modification strategies are discussed for environmental contaminant detection under different sensing mechanisms, providing future improvements of MOFs in environmental detection. Sensitive and selective detection of contaminants is crucial for environmental protection.

Brass Metal Cookware Associated Lead Poisoning Presenting as Recurrent Abdominal Pain: A Case Report [PDF]
Lead is known to exert toxic effects on nearly all tissues and organ systems, with the nervous, gastrointestinal, and haematopoietic systems being particularly vulnerable. In humans, lead interferes with haemoglobin synthesis, leading to anaemia, and its
