Article Abstract
Introduction: Acute and long-term health impacts from flooding related toxic chemical releases are a significant local health concern and can disproportionately impact communities with vulnerable populations; reliable release data are needed to quantify this hazard.
Methods: In this paper, we analyze US Federal Emergency Management Agency designated floodplain data and US Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data to determine if geographically manipulated databases adhere to Benford's Law.
Results: We investigated multiple variants and discovered pollution releases adhere to Benford's Law and tests which thereby validates the self-reported toxic release dataset.
Discussion: We find that Benford's Law applies to self-reported toxic chemical release and disposal data, indicating a lack of widespread data errors or manipulation.

Breast cancer continues to present a major clinical hurdle, largely attributable to its aggressive metastatic behavior and the suboptimal efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Cisplatin (CDDP) is a representative platinum drug in the treatment of breast cancer, however, its therapeutic application is often constrained by systemic toxicity and the frequent onset of chemoresistance. Here, we introduce a novel charge-adaptive nanoprodrug system, referred to as PP@, engineered to respond to tumor-specific conditions.

Background: Financial hardship (including financial stress, financial strain, asset depletion, and financial toxicity) is a highly relevant construct among the 6.9 million people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the United States and their family networks. This scoping review will identify existing measures and approaches for capturing financial strain among these families.

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized vesicles naturally secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and represent a promising platform for vaccine development. OMVs possess inherent immunostimulatory properties due to the presence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), providing self-adjuvanting capabilities and the ability to elicit both innate and adaptive immune responses. This review outlines the advantages of OMVs over traditional vaccine strategies, including their safety, modularity, and the potential for genetic engineering to enable targeted antigen delivery.

The improper use of chemical pesticides threatens ecosystems and human health, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. Nano-pesticides and biological control agents offer a solution, and their combination can reduce pesticide usage and improve pest control efficacy. This study utilized a star polycation (SPc) to prepare a metaflumizone nano-pesticide and combined it with the egg parasitoid (Telenomus remus) for synergistic pest management.

The disposal of municipal solid waste incineration fly ashes (MSWI-FA) is complicated by soluble chlorides, which increase the risk of heavy metals (HMs) leaching toxicity and hinder the further use of remediated MSWI-FA. In this study, the self-assembly potentiality of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) in geopolymerization was explored and utilized to enhance the solidification/stabilization (S/S) of the MSWI-FA. The MOC-self-assembled geopolymerization kinetics can be suitably described by the JMAK model.
