Mitochondrial copper homeostasis and its derailment in Wilson disease.

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 2018
In mitochondria, copper is a Janus-faced trace element. While it is the essential cofactor of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, a surplus of copper can be highly detrimental to these organelles.

Pesticide MRLs as Trade Barriers: Evidence From Vietnam's Coffee and Rice Exporters

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As tariffs have declined globally through bilateral and regional trade agreements, food safety standards have emerged as significant determinants of agricultural trade flows. This study examines the impact of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for five pesticides—Azoxystrobin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprole, Clothianidin, and Cyhalothrin—on ...

Genetics and epigenetic factors of Wilson disease.

open access: yesAnnals of Translational Medicine, 2019
Wilson disease (WD) is a complex condition due to copper accumulation mainly in the liver and brain. The genetic base of WD is represented by pathogenic mutations of the copper-transporting gene ATP7B with consequent lack of copper excretion through the ...

Diagnosis and phenotypic classification of Wilson disease

open access: yes, 2003
Wilson disease is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of hepatic copper metabolism leading to copper accumulation in hepatocytes and in extrahepatic organs such as the brain and the cornea.

Clinical utility of pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance for upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction in gastroenterology

open access: yesAdvances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance (P‐HRM‐I) is an established assessment method used to evaluate pharyngeal swallowing. It provides precise quantification of swallowing biomechanics that enable the detection of alterations in swallowing physiology.

Wilson's disease [PDF]

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2013
Progressive lenticular degeneration, or Wilson’s disease (WD), even though being a rare condition, has major relevance in the field of movement disorders for it constitutes the first example of progressive neurologic deterioration caused by a toxic mechanism as a result of biochemical abnormality . In 1912, the British neurologist S. […].

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Haplotype studies in Wilson disease.

open access: yes, 1994
In 51 families with Wilson disease, we have studied DNA haplotypes of dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms (CA repeats) in the 13q14.3 region, to examine these markers for association with the Wilson disease gene (WND).

Diverse Functional Properties of Wilson Disease ATP7B Variants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Wilson disease is a severe disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in ATP7B, which encodes a copper-transporting adenosine triphosphatase. The disease presents with a variable phenotype that complicates the diagnostic process

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.
