Anti-platelet effects of vitamin supplements in age-related macular degeneration: an in vitro study
(2018)Objective: The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the role of vitamin supplements (Ocuvite, Vitalux Omega, and Nutrof Total) as possible inhibitors of the onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ... -
Assessment of remediation of soils, moderately contaminated by potentially toxic metals, using different forms of carbon (charcoal, biochar, activated carbon). Impacts on contamination, metals availability and soil indices
(2022)The present study aims to assess the effect of three forms of carbon, i.e., charcoal, biochar and activated carbon using as soil amendments (or soil conditioners) in two soils, an acid and alkaline one. For this purpose, ... -
Assessment of trace element pollution in northern and western Iranian agricultural soils: a review
(2021)The pollution of Iranian agricultural soils with trace elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) was assessed and compared with other agricultural soils around the world. Experimental data on trace element content ... -
Bioactivities, chemical composition and nutritional value of Cynara cardunculus L. seeds
(2019)In the present study, the nutritional value, bioactive properties, and chemical composition of various cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) genotypes cultivated in central Greece were investigated. The results demonstrated that ... -
Bioavailability and risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in garden edible vegetables and soils around a highly contaminated former mining area in Germany
(2017)Although soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Europe has a history of many centuries, related problems are often considered as having been dealt with due to the enforcement of tight legislations. ... -
Biosolids application affects the competitive sorption and lability of cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc in fluvial and calcareous soils
(2017)The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of biosolids on the competitive sorption and lability of the sorbed Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in fluvial and calcareous soils. Competitive sorption isotherms were ... -
Biostimulants application: A low input cropping management tool for sustainable farming of vegetables
(2021)Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as boosting effects to biotic and abiotic stress ... -
Biowastes alone and combined with sulfur affect the phytoavailability of Cu and Zn to barnyard grass and sorghum in a fluvial alkaline soil under dry and wet conditions
(2019)Management of degraded soils (i.e., metal contaminated soils, salt affected soils, and soils with low organic matter content) by applying biowastes (e.g., biosolids and compost) and inorganic soil amendments such as sulfur ... -
A critical prospective analysis of the potential toxicity of trace element regulation limits in soils worldwide: Are they protective concerning health risk assessment? - A review
(2019)Trace elements (TEs) may have toxic effects to plants and humans; thus, countries and organizations impose maximum allowable regulation limits of their concentrations in soils. Usually such limits are placed in different ... -
The effect of coagulation on the toxicity and mutagenicity of reclaimed municipal effluents
(2006)The objectives of this work were the assessment of the effectiveness of coagulation on the reclamation of secondary effluents and the evaluation of the quality of reclaimed waters by the examination of their ecotoxic and ... -
Effects of sheep bone biochar on soil quality, maize growth, and fractionation and phytoavailability of Cd and Zn in a mining-contaminated soil
(2021)Biochar prepared from various feedstock materials has been utilized in recent years as a potential stabilizing agent for heavy metals in smelter-contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of animal bone-derived biochar ... -
Estimating remobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust of an industrialized urban environment
(2022)The mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of paramount concern in urban settings, particularly those affected by industrial activities. Here, contaminated soils and road dusts of the medium-size, industrialized ... -
Geo- and nano-materials affect the mono-metal and competitive sorption of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn in a sewage sludge-treated alkaline soil
(2019)We evaluated the effect of geomaterials (modified zeolite and bentonite using CaCl2) and nanoparticles (ZnO and MgO) on the mono-metal and competitive sorption of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) in ... -
Green remediation of toxic metals contaminated mining soil using bacterial consortium and Brassica juncea
(2021)Microorganism-assisted phytoremediation is being developed as an efficient green approach for management of toxic metals contaminated soils and mitigating the potential human health risk. The capability of plant growth ... -
Hair Loss After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
(2018)Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hair loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The effects of variables on the likelihood that patients developed hair loss were also examined. Material ... -
Hazardous enrichment of toxic elements in soils and olives in the urban zone of Lavrio, Greece, a legacy, millennia-old silver/lead mining area and related health risk assessment
(2022)Lavrio is a Greek town with several abandoned Ag/Pb mines. In this study, 19 potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were measured in soil, weeds, and olives. Levels of seven of the studied PTEs in soil were highly elevated: Zn ... -
Hazardous toxic metal(loid)s in top- and deep-soils during the transformation of aquaculture ponds restored to farmland
(2022)The pollution risks due to the soil migration of toxic metal(loid)s (TMs) are a greatly hazard to ecological environment as well as animal and human health. Previous studies have primarily focused on surface contamination ... -
Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils along the Central Elbe River, Germany
