Fishing shapes cetacean population density patterns in the Mediterranean basin

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human impacts are forcing species towards marginal and suboptimal portions of their historical ranges. Cetaceans are now under protection, but are still threatened by fishing activities, which reduce fish stocks, alter their feeding behavior, and can cause mortality due to bycatch.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Dietary Exposure to Mercury and Arsenic From Traditional Qatari Foods: Implications for Food Safety and Public Health

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In the Qatari cuisine, seafood showed significantly elevated mercury concentrations, whereas arsenic was more evenly distributed across the different foods. Although arsenic exposure was low (HQ < 0.2), mercury posed a high risk (HQ 7.9–9.3; HI > 8), highlighting seafood as the dominant dietary source of heavy metal exposure. ABSTRACT Heavy metals have

From Genomic Fossils to Functional Elements: The Evolving Story of Pseudogenes

Advanced Genetics, EarlyView.
This review begins with an introduction, summarizing the research background in pseudogene studies. It then contains three aspects: identification of pseudogenes, detailing their classification and features in metazoan genomes; functional pseudogenes, introducing their reactivation and regulation mechanisms; and pseudogenes’ contribution to species ...

A rare case of perineal neuralgia treated with ultrasound‐guided nerve block combined with water separation

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 106-111, Spring 2025.
A middle‐aged man presented with a right indirect inguinal hernia in November 2020 and underwent laparoscopic high ligation of the right hernial sac. Intermittent acupuncture‐like pain in the skin of the right scrotum and medial thigh occurred 1 month after surgery and lasted for 6 months. Under ultrasound guidance, ilioinguinal nerve and genitofemoral
