Food Contamination and Safety in Nigeria: A Systematic Synthesis of Heavy Metals, Microbial Pathogens, and Health Risk Metrics

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This is an infographic driver of food contaminants and health effects. ABSTRACT Food safety remains a critical challenge in Nigeria due to rapid urbanization and weak regulatory enforcement. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from 2015 to 2025 to characterize food contaminant profiles and associated human health risks in Nigeria ...

Primordial magnetic fields and nonlinear electrodynamics

, 2007
The creation of large scale magnetic fields is studied in an inflationary universe where electrodynamics is assumed to be nonlinear. After inflation ends electrodynamics becomes linear and thus the description of reheating and the subsequent radiation ...

Prevalence and risk factors for postpartum depression and stress among mothers of preterm and low birthweight infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit in Accra, Ghana

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 131-137, April 2025.
Abstract To determine the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum stress (PPS) and identify associated risk factors among mothers of preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants. We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected from 255 mothers with preterm and LBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Korle ...

Two stable gut microbiome guilds predict liver tumor class and treatment responses

iMeta, EarlyView.
Gut microbiome alterations are linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet taxon‐based biomarkers often lack reproducibility. Using shotgun metagenomics from 120 resectable HCC (MT) and 76 benign hepatic tumor controls (BT), we reconstructed a stable interaction‐based Two Competing Guilds model (HCC‐TCG) comprising 142 genomes organized into two ...

Considerations in evaluating the thyroid gland in a primary care setting

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020
The evaluation of the thyroid can be a very involved process. A misinterpretation of the results of a thyroid function test can lead to serious complexities in a patient's management and outcome.

Chiral Asymmetry and the Spectral Action

, 2012
We consider orthogonal connections with arbitrary torsion on compact Riemannian manifolds. For the induced Dirac operators, twisted Dirac operators and Dirac operators of Chamseddine-Connes type we compute the spectral action. In addition to the Einstein-

Mentalizing difficulties are transdiagnostic and explain links between mental health and neurodevelopmental symptoms and social adjustment in school‐aged children

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Growing evidence suggests that difficulties reasoning about others' thoughts, feelings and desires (called ‘mentalizing’ or ‘theory of mind’) cut across many mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions but studies have yet to test this claim directly.

Inflation at the Electroweak Scale

, 1992
We present a simple model for slow-rollover inflation where the vacuum energy that drives inflation is of the order of $G_F^{-2}$; unlike most models, the conversion of vacuum energy to radiation (``reheating'') is moderately efficient.

T2‐Weighted T1 Mapping and Automated Segmentation of CSF: Assessment of Solute Gradients in the Healthy Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a medium for nutrient delivery and waste clearance. The T1 relaxation rate, R1, can be used to measure the concentration of intrinsic solutes and extrinsic contrast agents. Purpose To implement a method for R1 mapping and segmentation of CSF and to use this method to explore how R1 of CSF relates ...

Higgs mass implications on the stability of the electroweak vacuum

, 2011
We update instability and metastability bounds of the Standard Model electroweak vacuum in view of the recent ATLAS and CMS Higgs results. For a Higgs mass in the range 124--126 GeV, and for the current central values of the top mass and strong coupling ...
