LEAD IN PAINT-CONTAMINATED RESIDENTIAL SOILS WITH VARYING PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES FROM THREE LARGE US CITIES: ASSESSMENT OF GEOCHEMICAL FORMS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON AMENDMENTS FOR IMMOBILIZATION

Lead in yard soils has been recognized as the principal source of excess lead absorption among young children.The hazard imposed by soil lead is dependent on the geochemical forms of lead in soils.Soil properties such as pH, soil organic matter, clay, and carbonate content influence the geochemical forms of lead in soil.This study was conducted to

Overweight and obese dogs can develop metabolic dysfunction, backpack characterized by an inflammatory response and involvement of liver functions.If a modulation of the gut microbiome and its interaction with the gut–liver axis is implicated in the development of metabolic dysfunction, exploration becomes necessary.Over the past decade, diverse

Structural features of thermal spray coatings, e.g., porosity, can be beneficial as oil retention volumes in tribological systems in order to improve emergency running properties.While thermal spray coatings can already have a considerable degree of porosity depending on the coating conditions, the finish machining, e.g., by turning, has a signific

ABSTRACT Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a neurologic emergency SCISSORS potentially fatal.This rare side effect is most commonly associated with first-generation antipsychotics and less frequently with atypical or second-generation antipsychotics.The diagnosis relies on both clinical and laboratory criteria, with other organic and psychiat
