Lead (Pb), a toxic contaminant metal used in many important industrial processes, is widely used in batteries, paint vanishes, in pipe covering and in welding. The exposure showed a high risk of human health and development of several types of cancers. A total of 64 male workers in Hyderabad battery unit in Mahaboobnagar District, Andhra Pradesh were investigated for genetic damage in buccal ce...

background: the interaction between serum neuron-specific enolase (nse), biogenic amino-acids and neurobehavioral function with blood lead levels in workers exposed to lead form lead-acid battery manufacturing process was not studied. objective: to evaluate serum nse and biogenic amino-acids (dopamine and serotonin) levels, and neurobehavioral performance among workers exposed to lead from lead...

in this paper we present our studies using pauling electrostatic bond strength (esb) rules forstructural behaviour, cation vacancies, relation between x, y, and the valence of cations and coordinationin spinel compounds lixmn2o4, 0

background: hematological effects and digestive and neuro-psychological signs and symptoms are some manifestations of lead toxicity. however, there are conflicting reports of their prevalence among lead exposed workers and their relationship with blood lead levels (bll). this case- control study assessed the relationship between bll and hematological indexes and digestive (abdominal colic, iron...

b a c k ground: several studies have indicated that executive dysfunction is the main neuropsychological feature of parkinson’s disease (pd). the frontal assessment battery (fab) is a short tool for the assessment of executive functions. p u r p o s e : the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between persian version of fab scores and age, education, mini-mental state examination...

the use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. one way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. the use of ener...

background: ingestion of foreign bodies may result in the formation of a tracheoesophageal fistula (tef), which causes severe morbidity in children. we describe four cases of tef, who underwent emergent surgery for repair. case presentation: in this report, we present about four patients aged between 9 months to 2.5 years, who referred due to disc battery ingestion. there were two boys and two ...

This review presents the current state of knowledge regarding use radioactive sources to generate photonic light in scintillators as converters ionizing radiation electricity photovoltaic cells. The possibility using phenomenon excitation photons scintillation materials during interaction with particles and was analyzed detail. obtained such a way can an electric charge whole process be named n...

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone with many important functions in the brain, mediated through the vitamin D nuclear receptor. Numerous human and animal data link vitamin D dysfunctions to various behavioural disorders. To examine this problem, we studied whether genetic ablation of vitamin D receptors in mice may be associated with altered emotional behaviours. Here we show that the receptor-defi...
