Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, is essential for physiological processes such as development and wound healing, but its dysregulation contributes to a range of pathological conditions including cancer,...

The increasing use of pesticides in agricultural products raises concerns over food safety. Furthermore, uncontrolled pesticide usage on food products can lead to residual levels that exceed the maximum residue limits (MRLs) and are potentially harmf...

Long-term ingestion of water contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) may pose health risks. Water around the Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania was assessed by high-purity germanium gamma spectrometry to quantify the activity conce...

Firefighters are inherently exposed to soot and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at work. In this repeated measures study, we assessed if three different interventions reduced PAH exposure. For each sub-study, the firefighters participated in...

The determination of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the marine environment is performed through many different sampling approaches. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to compare different existing sampling strategies: biofilm...

The widespread presence of estrogens in aquatic environments represents a One Health concern, as it simultaneously threatens environmental integrity, wildlife health, and human well-being. These compounds, widely used in human and veterinary medicine...

The production and extensive use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in various fields necessitate thorough testing, not only in terms of their potential applications but also regarding the effects they induce on various organisms. In addition, nanoparti...

Lead (Pb) is a non-essential, toxic heavy metal with no known biological function that has caused widespread environmental contamination throughout human history. Pb toxicity represents one of the most persistent environmental health challenges, with...

High doses of the antibiotic azithromycin in freshwater environments can impact planktonic organisms at both the individual and community levels, influencing interactions at the base of the food web. This study investigated the effects of azithromyci...

Background: Beta-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) are widely used with beta-lactam antibiotics to combat resistant infections, yet their safety profiles, especially for newer agents, remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify potential adverse eve...
