Skeletal Fluorosis from Brewed Tea [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2011
Abstract Background: High fluoride ion (F−) levels are found in many surface and well waters. Drinking F−-contaminated water typically explains endemic skeletal fluorosis (SF). In some regions of Asia, however, poor quality “brick tea” also causes this disorder. The plant source of brick, black, green,

Association of PPARGC1A gene polymorphism and mtDNA methylation with coal-burning fluorosis: a case–control study

BMC Genomics
Background Coal-burning fluorosis is a chronic poisoning resulting from the prolonged use of locally available high-fluoride coal for heating and cooking. Prolonged fluoride exposure has been demonstrated to decrease PPARGC1A levels. Therefore, this case-

Microstructural Evidence for Early Childhood Stress in a Community in Transition at Hisban, Jordan

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Identification of stress across infancy and childhood can reflect maternal and environmental influences on early life health. In the 19th century community of Hisban, many infants died before 2 years of age with evidence of metabolic disease, including rickets, that likely ties with maternal health.

Fluorosis: An Uncommon Cause of Quadriparesis

Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics, 2017
Fluorine is a double edged sword as its higher levels are linked with dental/skeletal fluorosis while its deficiency is associated with dental caries.1 Skeletal fluorosis may remain asymptomatic or may present with myeloradiculopathy secondary to cord ...
