Fatal pufferfish poisoning 1000 km inland: a case series from eastern Turkey
We report the first tetrodotoxin (TTX) poisoning cases from Van, Eastern Turkey, a city located more than 1000 km inland. Three male patients presented in December 2020 after eating Lagocephalus sceleratus, which a local vendor mistook for an edible fish. One patient, a 41-year-old man who consumed…

Combined in vitro effects of temozolomide and erucic acid on U87 MG cell viability, oxidative stress, and expression of genes involved in apoptotic signalling
Limited efficacy of glioblastoma treatment with temozolomide (TMZ) due to resistance has prompted researchers to look for adjuvants capable of enhancing TMZ-associated cytotoxicity. The aim of our in vitro study was to evaluate such effects of erucic acid when combined with TMZ in human U87 MG…

Glyphosate internal dose estimation: comparing passive dosimetry and biomonitoring in simulated heavy residential herbicide application
Glyphosate exposure is commonly assessed using either passive dosimetry or biomonitoring. This study tests the hypothesis that internal dose estimates derived from passive dosimetry are higher and more uncertain than those derived from biomonitoring by comparing concurrently collected passive…

Marked variations in the effectiveness of commercial disinfectants against clinically relevant antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi
Effective disinfection of noncritical hospital surfaces may be essential for limiting the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), which seem to persist despite clear disinfection guidelines and raise concern about the potency of real-world disinfectants and about the consistency of…

Testicular toxicity of Aroclor 1254 in selenium-deficient and selenium-supplemented rats
Aroclor 1254 (A1254) is a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners known to induce testicular toxicity through oxidative stress, apoptosis, and hormonal disruption. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element for male reproduction, contributes to antioxidant defence, DNA repair, and…

Chronic lymphatic leukaemia in a worker with a long-term occupational exposure to petroleum product mixtures: a case report
Following a regular occupational health checkup, a 63-year-old worker employed at petrol station for thirty years was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). The patient’s occupational history revealed long-term daily exposure to petroleum-derived vapours. As part of a routine…

Indoor air bacterial and fungal burden in the environment of an atopic child: implications for elevated urine mycotoxin levels
Here we present a case of an atopic boy from Zagreb, Croatia, whose elevated urine mycotoxin levels prompted us investigate whether they were associated with microbial indoor air burden in the child’s primary and music school and family home. The music school had been water-damaged / mould-infested…

Potential of Bacillus paramycoides hydrolase to degrade propiconazole
Propiconazole is a widely used synthetic fungicide that has raised deep environmental and toxicological concerns due to its persistence and bioactivity. In this study, we investigated the potential of a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, Bacillus paramycoides to degrade…

Coasting effect of n-hexane-induced neuropathy evidenced by electroneuromyography and clinical symptom scales: a 12-month follow-up study
To the best of our knowledge, no study so far has investigated the coasting effect of neuropathy caused by occupational exposure to n-hexane through more detailed clinical evaluations than nerve conduction measurements, such that would also include pain assessment and functional status. The aim of…

Autonomic echoes of student life: a mixed-method inquiry with meta-inferential integration of autonomic function, lifestyle narratives, and health behaviours among medical students
Medical students face intense academic and lifestyle transitions that can affect their physiological health and well-being. This mixed-method study explores the interplay between the autonomic nervous system activity, measured via heart rate variability (HRV) and lifestyle behaviours, measured with…

Structure-guided modification of a lead cholinesterase-targeting oxime to improve peripheral site binding
Based on our previous study on N‑substituted 2-hydroxyiminoacetamides as cholinesterase-targeting ligands, which highlighted 2-hydroxyimino-N-(3-(4-((2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-1-phenylpropyl)acetamide as lead compound because of its inhibition potency, we extended…

Noise exposure patterns and health risk assessment among nurses in a Chinese paediatric intensive care unit
Starting from the hypothesis that occupational noise exposure among paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) nurses at our hospital exceeds the recommended health guidelines and is associated with adverse non-auditory health outcomes, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to quantify personal…

Unsafe commute driving behaviour among healthcare workers: a combined scoping review and concept analysis
Unsafe driving behaviour is associated with the risk of crashes. Although commuting crashes prevail among healthcare workers (HCWs), unsafe driving behaviour during daily commutes remains unexplored in this group. The aim of our study was therefore to address this gap and to clarify the concept of…

Mechanistic insights into the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and 1-butylpyridinium bromide on human cell lines
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a novel class of salts with growing industrial applications due to their tunable physicochemical properties. However, their popularity has given rise to concerns about their cytotoxic potential. This study investigates the cytotoxic, apoptotic, and cell cycle effects of two…
