Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Autoantibodies to Joint‐Related Peptides Are Associated With Onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Presymptomatic Seronegative Individuals

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To identify autoantibodies in presymptomatic individuals that associate with the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to distinguish early RA from osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in individuals lacking classic RA serologic markers. Methods We analyzed serum and plasma from three cohorts: presymptomatic individuals who later developed RA ...

Cortical Network Overconnectivity Relates to Sensory, Cognitive, and Social Dimensions in Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The heterogeneity in both the neurobiological mechanisms and the phenotypic presentations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) poses a major challenge to clinical and translational research. Alterations in functional connectivity (FC) have been associated with ASD, yet it remains unclear whether and how divergent brain network properties may ...

Estimation of Target Hazard Quotients and Potential Health Risks for Metals by Consumption of Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in Selangor, Malaysia

Sains Malaysiana, 2017
The concentrations of the heavy metal in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) purchased from the local wet markets throughout the state of Selangor were investigated using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The order of the heavy metal concentrations were Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd, whereby the metal concentrations in most samples exceeded the limits of the

Through Parents' Eyes: Perspectives on Child Development and Family Experience During ESDM Intervention

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early intensive intervention for autistic children aims to support developmental progress in social and communication domains. Although outcomes are typically assessed using standardized measures of child development, parental perspectives during early intervention remain largely understudied.

Visual Responsivity in Autism: Measuring Visual Responses in Autistic and Non‐Autistic Adults Using Psychophysics, fMRI, and EEG

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autistic individuals frequently report heightened sensitivity to visual stimuli, often described as discomfort in environments with bright or flickering lights. These experiences are hypothesized to reflect underlying differences in sensory gain or neural hyperexcitability; however, findings across studies have yielded mixed results, likely ...

Impaired Motor Competence in Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence From a Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is frequently associated with motor difficulties that may affect daily functioning, participation in physical activity, and developmental outcomes. Although motor impairments have been widely reported in this population, comparative evidence against typically developing (TD) peers remains fragmented across ...

How Do Carbon Emissions Affect the Performance of Listed Latin American Firms? The Moderating Effect of Financial Slack

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the association between carbon emissions and financial performance in Latin American firms. The scientific literature on this topic is limited, with little evidence available in this geographical region. This study aims to address this research gap by testing hypotheses focused on analysing how Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon ...
