Toxicity and chemical composition of commercial road palliatives versus oil and gas produced waters
In this study, 17 road palliatives used for winter and summer road maintenance were collected and their chemical composition and potential human toxicity were characterized. Results from this study demonstrated that liquid brine solutions had elevated levels of trace metals (Zn, Cu, Sr, Li) that could pose risks to human and environmental health. The radium activity of liquid calcium chloride products was comparable to the activity of OGPWs and could be a significant source of radium to the environment. The organic fractions of evaluated OGPWs and chloride-based products posed little risk to human health. However, organic-...

Lecithin-amended montmorillonite clays enhance the antibacterial effect of barrier creams
The objective of this study was to assess in vitro antibacterial activity of barrier cream (EVB) formulations containing either calcium montmorillonite (CM) or lecithin-amended montmorillonite (CML). All ingredients were generally recognized as safe (GRAS), and clay minerals were specifically studied due to their known ability to adsorb numerous toxins of human clinical relevance. Characterization of the EVB formulations showed good spreadability, pH, appearance, unity, viscosity, and no evidence of phase separation. Colony forming, disk diffusion susceptibility, and agar dilution assays were used to determine the minimal ...

Usual nutrient intakes and diet quality among United States older adults participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program compared with income-eligible nonparticipants
CONCLUSIONS: Diet quality and usual nutrient intake among older adult SNAP participants and eligible nonparticipants were poor, but DS lowered the risk of nutrient inadequacy. Future policies and programs should focus on improving the intake of vitamins A, C, D, E, calcium, and magnesium and dietary quality for all older adults.PMID:37407169 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.03.013

Future treatments in hypertension: Can we meet the unmet needs of patients?
Eur J Intern Med. 2023 Jun 16:S0953-6205(23)00201-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2023.06.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of arterial hypertension is approximately 47% in the United States and 55% in Europe. Multiple different medical therapies are used to treat hypertension including diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, alpha blockers, central acting alpha receptor agonists, neprilysin inhibitors and vasodilators. However, despite the numerous number of medications, the prevalence of hypertension is on the rise, a considerable...

The use of coronary artery calcium scoring in young adults
J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr. 2023 May 15:S1934-5925(23)00117-X. doi: 10.1016/j.jcct.2023.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough overall atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) incidence has been declining in the United States, there is evidence that the incidence of ASCVD events in young adults is increasing. The early initiation of preventive therapies could result in a greater number of life-years saved, and therefore determining the appropriate way to identify high-risk young adults is becoming increasingly important. The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, an established marker of coronary artery atheros...

Selecting a dietary supplement with appropriate dosing for 6 key nutrients in pregnancy
CONCLUSIONS: Almost no US dietary supplements provide key nutrients in the doses needed for pregnant women. Affordable and convenient products that fill the gap between food-based intake and estimated requirements of pregnancy without inducing excess intake are needed to support pregnant women and their offspring. Am J Clin Nutr 20XX;xx:xx-xx.PMID:37019542 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2022.12.018
