An extensive data set of total arsenic analysis for 901 polished (white) grain samples, originating from 10 countries from 4 continents, was compiled. The samples represented the baseline (i.e., notspecifically collected from arsenic contaminated areas), and all were for market sale in major conurba...

Rice is more elevated in arsenic than all other grain crops tested to date, with whole grain (brown) rice having higher arsenic levels than polished (white). It is reported here that rice bran, both commercially purchased and specifically milled for this study, have levels of inorganic arsenic, a no...

Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are ubiquitous in the water environment due to the extensive commercial applications. The complexity of heterogeneous humic acid (HA) plays a significant role in affecting the physicochemical properties of CeO2 NPs in aqueous environments. However, the effects...

Biopsy remains gold standard for definitive diagnosis of numerous diseases, yet conventional approaches confront inherent limitations encompassing procedural invasiveness, limited spatial resolution, poor deep-tissue accessibility, and complicated post-operative histopathology examinations. Herein, ...

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) caused by thrombosis is a major cause of mortality. A polymorphism in Aldh2 gene (rs671) is found in approximately 30% to 50% of East Asians, and it is a risk factor for AMI. This mutation impairs aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) function, but the effect...

Stoichiometric polycrystalline Fe3O4 films with thicknesses ranging from 25 to 165 nm were fabricated on Si (100) substrates with a native SiO2 layer via pulsed laser deposition, followed by vacuum annealing at 780 °C. Negative magnetoresistance was observed, and the absolute magnetoresistance under...
