TLDR
The study shows that analyzing levels of Al, Cd, and Pb may be useful in hemodialysis patients in evaluating TEs status, and this work determines total content of toxic elements—aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb)—in whole blood and urine samples of male chronic renal failure patients on maintenance heModialysis from 2006 to 2007.Abstract:
The determination of toxic elements in the biological samples of human beings is an important clinical screening procedure. The aim of this work was to determine total content of toxic elements—alu...read more

Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies on biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution by macrofungus (Lactarius scrobiculatus) biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the equilibrium, thermodynamics and kinetics of the biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II), onto (Lactarius scrobiculatus) macrofungus from aqueous solution were investigated at different experimental conditions.

Level of Trace Elements (Copper, Zinc, Magnesium and Selenium) and Toxic Elements (Lead and Mercury) in the Hair and Nail of Children with Autism
TL;DR: The study observed a valid indication of Cu body burden in the autistic children and showed a significant elevation in the concentration of Cu, Pb, and Hg and significant decrease in the concentrate of Mg and Se observed in the hair and nail samples of autistic subjects could be well correlated with their degrees of severity.

Adsorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution by native and activated bentonite: kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic study.
Ali Rıza Kul,Hülya Koyuncu +1 more
TL;DR: The sorption processes were an endothermic reactions, controlled by physical mechanisms and spontaneously, and show that Pb(II) ions are favorably adsorbed by NB and AAB.

Human exposure to toxic metals via contaminated dust: Bio-accumulation trends and their potential risk estimation.
Jawad Mohmand,Syed Ali Musstjab Akber Shah Eqani,Mauro Fasola,Ambreen Alamdar,Irfan Mustafa,Nadeem Ali,Liangpo Liu,Siyuan Peng,Heqing Shen +8 more
TL;DR: Bioaccumulation patterns showed that dust exposure is one of the major routes into human body for Cd, Pb, Co, Mn and Cr, while the burden of Zn, Cu, and Ni can be more linked to dietary sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, levels of cadmium found in major food groups are highlighted together with levels found in liver and kidney samples from non-occupationally exposed populations, suggesting that renal toxicity may be an early warning of complications, sub-clinical or clinical morbidity.

TL;DR: Five variables (urinary excretion of retinol-binding protein, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, beta 2-microglobulin, aminoacids, and calcium) were significantly associated with the urinaryexcretion of cadmium (as a marker of cad mium body burden), suggesting the presence of tubular dysfunction.

Simple nutritional indicators as independent predictors of mortality in hemodialysis patients.
TL;DR: Serum albumin was confirmed to be a useful predictor of mortality risk in hemodialysis patients; BMI was established as an independently important predictor ofortality; both serum albumin and BMI, measured at baseline, continue to possess predictive value 5 years later; the subjective caregiver classification of nutritional status "undernourished" has independent value in predicting mortality risk beyond the information gained from two other markers of nutritionalStatus.
