Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the change of neurobehavioral functions of workers with long term exposure to vanadium.
Methods: A total of 106 workers with exposure to vanadium were paired with workers without exposure to vanadium. The WHO-NCTB was employed to assess the neurobehavioral functions.
Results: The exposure group had lower scores in the domains measuring positive moods and higher scores in the domains measuring negative moods. The exposure group had poorer performance in Santa Ana dexterity, Benton visual retention and pursuit aiming II than the control group.
Conclusion: Exposure to vanadium can adversely affect neurobehavioral functions of workers. Workers exposed to vanadium may show mood disorders, decreased vision-memory, and declined motor speed and accuracy.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

BackgroundGiven the increasing global prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and its complex etiopathogenesis, understanding the role of environmental factors is crucial. Prior investigations suggested a potential link between metal exposure and PD, yet conflicting results emerged.ObjectiveTo identify differences in metal concentrations in whole blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in PD patients compared to controls.

Background: Cognitive decline among older adults has become an increasingly serious public health issue. Metal exposure may contribute to neurodegenerative processes; however, the combined effects of multiple metals and the potential moderating role of sleep quality on cognitive function remain unclear.
Objective: To examine the associations between combined exposure to six metal elements-molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), nickel (Ni), strontium (Sr), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd)-in whole blood and cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults, and to assess whether these associations are modified by sleep quality.

Background: Titanium, a rare allergen tested within a designated metal series, has a unique exposure profile, warranting evaluation in specific clinical scenarios. Our study aims to characterise the clinical features of patients with Titanium sensitisation.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 255 patients patch tested with the metal series at a tertiary contact dermatitis clinic between 2012 and 2024.

Background: Endometriosis disease affects up to 10 % of menstruating people worldwide and can lead to infertility. Environmental pollutants are risk factors influencing the probability of developing endometriosis.
Objective: We aimed to explore the differences in the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), trace, and ultra-trace elements in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of endometriosis subjects compared to control subjects.
