A Study on AI-Enhanced Environmental Toxicology: Sensor-Driven Predictive Framework
Abstract: Traditional environmental toxicology relies heavily on labor-intensive, often retrospective, sampling and analysis, limiting our understanding of dynamic pollutant behaviors and their real-time impact on ecosystems and human health. This study presents a novel, integrated framework leveraging advanced sensor networks and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize the monitoring, assessment, and predictive modeling of environmental contaminants. We deployed a sophisticated array of multi-parameter sensors (e.g., electrochemical, optical, biosensors for heavy metals, organic …

Identifying and Mitigating Chemical Hazards Through Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Abstract: Chemical exposure represents a significant occupational health and safety concern in the chemical industry. Effectively addressing these hazards requires teamwork among various occupational health and safety experts, such as general OHS professionals, occupational hygienists, and occupational health practitioners. This research focuses on analyzing hazards and developing control measures for industrial chemicals, evaluating their toxicity, and using these assessments in regulatory decision making. It starts by addressing the availability of toxicological …

Toxicological Profiling and Safety Assessment of NASAT 2.0: A Conceptual Framework for Adaptive Nanoparticle Therapy in Rabies
Abstract: Rabies, caused by the highly neurotropic Rabies lyssavirus, remains one of the most enigmatic and universally lethal infectious diseases known to modern medicine. Once clinical symptoms manifest following successful neuroinvasion, the fatality rate approaches absolute certainty (approximately 99.9%), a staggering statistic that has remained largely unchallenged despite massive, concurrent advances in modern virology, critical care medicine, and cellular immunology. Current late-stage therapeutic protocols, most notably the widely debated Milwaukee Protocol, …

Review of Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements in Toxicology
Abstract: This article explores the expanding role of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals in toxicology. Although they are widely consumed, there is little proof that using supplements or nutraceuticals can improve health in people who are eating a healthy diet. However, some of these products can be extremely toxic. Moreover, very few people tell their doctors they take supplements. Therefore, there is a high chance of negative drug-supplement interactions. An outline of …

Photochemical Detoxification of Arsenic- and Mercury-Contaminated Soils: Geochemical Mechanisms and Pathways
Abstract: This study evaluates the geochemical aspects of soil detoxification in areas contaminated with arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg), emphasizing sustainable strategies for improving soil health and ensuring safe crop production. The research provides an ecological and toxicological assessment of regional soils and classifies them base on the concentration and mobility of toxic elements. Although the current levels of As and Hg do not yet present a critical risk to agricultural …

Zebra Fish Embryo Assay: A Wonderful Tool for Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment with Special Reference to Heavy Metals - An Overview
Abstract: In recent years, environmental pollution has become a pressing concern, prompting extensive research in aquatic ecotoxicology. With environmental degradation getting worse day by day, ecotoxicology research has gained a lot of attention. This area of study examines how biological communities in aquatic environments are affected by environmental contaminants. To unravel the toxicological mechanisms of these exogenous compounds, scientists turn to biological models. Several aquatic species, including zebrafish, toads, and big …

Cardiotoxicity Associated with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Leukemias: An Overview of Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Management Strategies
Abstract: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have greatly enhanced the outlook for individuals diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias, including chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, these therapeutic agents are associated with Cardiotoxicities and can manifest as left ventricular dysfunction, which may progress to heart failure, along with electrocardiographic abnormalities, dysrhythmias, hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and thromboembolic events. The unclear frequency of drug-induced cardiovascular complications, coupled with uncertainties regarding their reversibility and long-term …

TOXICOLOGY: Present-Day Difficulties for Investigating Safety Science and Target Safety Evaluation of Major Human Hepatocytes
Abstract: Preclinical toxicology has developed into a more thorough understanding of toxicity pathways from its descriptive beginnings. Technological developments have made it possible to forecast safety occurrences, mitigate adverse effects, and create safety biomarkers. Because they are able to self-renew and specialize into different types of human body cells, stem cells are currently being employed for in vitro toxicological applications. However, as compared to primary human hepatocytes, stem cell-derived HLCs perform …
