Exposure to Mycotoxins: Neurological Disorders and Psychiatric ManifestationsAbstract
Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi and molds, have negative health impacts on both humans and animals. They are commonly found in foods such as nuts, coffee, cereals, and grains, particularly in regions with warm, humid climates. Among the most prevalent mycotoxins in these foods are aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, patulin, and deoxynivalenol (DON). The presence of mold capable of producing mycotoxins within food contributes to an elevated risk of various illnesses, including those r [...] 892 2281 |
Evaluation of Full Blood Count–Derived Inflammatory Indices (SII, SIRI, PIV, NLR) in Behçet’s Disease Patients and Healthy ControlsAbstract
This study investigated three novel complete blood count–derived inflammatory biomarkers Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) and their relationship with clinical features of Behçet’s Disease (BD). Established markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), were also analyzed. Seventy HLA-B51–positive BD patients and 114 HLA-B51–negative healt [...] 515 2257 |
Environmental Risk Assessment of Antiretrovirals Consumed in Belo Horizonte, BrazilAbstract
The development and utilization of pharmaceuticals, notably antiretrovirals (ARVs), have significantly enhanced both human quality of life and life expectancy. Nevertheless, the excretion of these compounds into aquatic environments, often exacerbated by inadequate sanitation infrastructure, poses considerable risks to biota. This investigation evaluated the environmental impact of 14 ARVs consumed within the municipality of Belo Horizonte (BH), Brazil. The assessment employed the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA [...] 693 2254 |

Abstract
Caring for patients with neurocognitive disorders (NCD) can be challenging for caregivers, with the risk of malnutrition. Observational, retrospective, monocentric study carried out with patient-caregiver dyads admitted to the Memory Day Hospital of the Gerontology Center of the University Hospital of Lille over 6 months in 2023. Our objectives were to identify the socio-characteristics of caregivers who had recently experienced a variation in their weight, their degree of fatigue (using the Fatigue Numerical Ratin [...] 633 2225 |
Mindful Attention and Awareness Prospectively Predicts Stress in Daily Life: A Multilevel Modeling ApproachAbstract
Chronic stress increases a person’s vulnerability for physical and mental health conditions that take root in the “common soil” of inflammation. Dispositional, or trait, mindfulness has been identified as a protective factor against perceived stress. However, the theory that trait mindfulness can prospectively predict lower perceived stress in natural settings has yet to be thoroughly tested. The current study used a daily diary prospective design to observe perceived stress in response to difficult events. Partici [...] 492 2181 |
Barriers Encountered When Implementing a Community Evidence-Based Fall Prevention ProgramAbstract
Falls and fall-related injuries are one of the leading causes of death among older adults aged 65+ in the United States. Americans’ life expectancy has increased and fall risk grows with age. While several evidence-based fall prevention programs are utilized to decrease fall risk among community-dwelling older adults, little research focuses on challenges or strategies related to sustained fall prevention program implementation. The purpose of this multi-method descriptive study was to assess fall risk outcome chan [...] 580 2140 |
GHG Emissions Management in Urban Areas by Interactive Road Traffic Control: Application of Artificial IntelligenceAbstract
The rising pollution levels in congested urban areas pose a serious threat to human health. Many solutions have been proposed to control and reduce gas emissions from road traffic, with results that are not entirely satisfactory. The adoption of new techniques and methodologies for early detection of pollutant emissions may enable effective management and control of road traffic contamination. The proposed method introduces an interactive protocol that facilitates communication between the traffic control center an [...] 556 2065 |
Rapid Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and Alginate-Silver Nanocomposite Beads Using Mashmoom (Ocimum basilicum), a Bahraini Household Medicinal HerbAbstract
The study focuses on the rapid green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and alginate-silver nanocomposite (Alg-AgNc) beads using sweet basil or Mashmoom (Ocimum basilicum), a common household medicinal herb in Bahrain. The aqueous extract of mashmoom was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the reduction of the precursor salt, silver nitrate, and formation of stable AgNPs. The Alg-AgNc beads were prepared by ionotropic gelation of sodium alginate-AgNPs solution in calcium chloride. A strong surface pl [...] 584 2048 |
Framework for the Secured Integration of Renewable Energy into Power SystemsAbstract
This research introduces a blockchain framework to improve security and transparency for the use of renewable energy in power systems. The framework utilizes a permissioned blockchain architecture and IoT-based real-time monitoring to ensure data integrity and confidentiality and support efficient peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. Compared with traditional centralized energy management systems, the proposed design increases transaction security by 35%, decreases verification wait times by 28%, and decreases the ri [...] 583 2037 |
