DIFFERENTIAL HEPATIC METAL AND METALLOTHIONEIN LEVELS IN THREE FERAL FISH SPECIES ALONG A METAL POLLUTION GRADIENT.

Differential hepatic metal and metallothionein levels in three Feral fish species along a metal pollution gradient.

The accumulation of cadmium, copper and zinc and the induction of metallothioneins (MT) in liver of three freshwater fish species was studied.Gudgeon (Gobio gobio), roach (Rutilus rutilus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis) were captured at 6 sampling sites along a cadmium NATURAL STEVIA and zinc gradient and one reference site in a tributary of the Sch

Inequality and Poverty When Effort Matters

On the presumption that poorer people tend to work less, it is often claimed that standard Triphala measures of inequality and poverty are overestimates.The paper points to a number of reasons to question this claim.It is shown that, while the labor supplies of American adults have a positive income gradient, the heterogeneity in labor supplies gen

A Cost Analysis of Hospitalizations for Infections Related to Injection Drug Use at a County Safety-Net Hospital in Miami, Florida.

BackgroundInfections related to injection drug use are common.Harm reduction strategies such as syringe exchange programs and skin care clinics aim to prevent these infections in injection drug users (IDUs).Syringe exchange programs are currently prohibited by law in Florida.The goal of this study was to estimate the mortality and cost of injection

Serum proteomic profiling of precancerous gastric lesions and early gastric cancer reveals signatures associated with systemic inflammatory response and metaplastic differentiation

The noninvasive detection technique using serum for large-scale screening is useful for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC).Herein, we employed liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to determine the serum proteome signatures and related pathways in individuals with gastric precancerous (pre-GC) lesions and GC and explore the effect of Heli

Determination of mandibular morphology in a TURKISH population with Down syndrome using panoramic radiography

Abstract Background Down syndrome (DS) is by far the most common known chromosomal disorder.Some characteristic features of DS are generalised growth deficiency, craniofacial abnormalities such as mandibular prognathism and underdevelopment of the Inline - Skates - Senior midfacial region, dental abnormalities such as taurodontism and hypodontia.In
