Healthy and Safe Environments across Occupational and Environmental Contexts

This Special Issue, "Healthy and Safe Environments across Occupational and Environmental Contexts", brings together research that is at the interface between environmental and occupational health. According to the WHO, environmental health encompasses the assessment and control of physical, chemical, and biological factors that are external to individuals, as well as behavioral determinants that can impact health. The workplace often mirrors the general environment: hazards may share common origins, and effective control strategies can be applied across both contexts. Skills and knowledge used to address environmental risks are frequently the same as those required for occupational hazards. The contributions gathered in this Issue illustrate the richness and relevance of this interdisciplinary field. They span novel approaches to hazard identification and risk assessment, investigations of exposures and health outcomes, and analyses of physical, chemical, and psychosocial factors. Several studies deepen our understanding of the subtle and long-term health impacts of environmental pollutants, including air pollution and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Others highlight the implications of occupational exposures, ranging from noise and stress to laboratory-specific risks, while also addressing workplace health promotion in diverse cultural contexts.

Total Load Theory

About one in six children and many adults are diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. What causes autism, attention, learning disabilities, and anxiety? Patricia Lemer answers that question with a new paradigm: "Total Load Theory." This etiology fingers not a single cause, but rather a complex combination of biological, environmental, immunological, neurological, psychological, and toxicological load factors. Lemer provides an in-depth description of underlying stressors and how they accumulate, causing sensory, motor, language, social-emotional, and other symptoms, leading to a diagnosis. By applying this roadmap, families and practitioners can learn how to maximize function in their loved ones and patients. Reversing poor lifestyle choices around diet, sleep, exercise, along with returning traumatized nervous systems to feeling safe are all crucial. Next steps include enhancing digestion, and immune and endocrine function. Lemer addresses the role of the sensory processing, with an emphasis on vision. She also looks at improving problematic dental structure and function. The book moves into enhancing language and social-emotional areas at all ages. How these higher-level areas depend on neurological, biological, and sensory integrity are described in detail. The exciting new use of letterboards for communication can be life-changing. Several chapters on future planning include options for education, supervised living, employment, and finances. The book ends with a chapter for prospective parents on reducing load factors from preconception. The future is calling. We must act now, and this book is the perfect guide.

Green Extraction and Formulation of Antioxidants Derived from Food and Agricultural Waste

Food and agricultural wastes have been recognized as valuable sources of bioactive compounds, including different types of antioxidants. The concept of increasing the utilization of waste as a secondary raw material has received significant attention recently, because it is both cost-efficient and in accordance with the principles of the circular economy and sustainable nutrition.Antioxidants are compounds known for their beneficial effects on human health and have attracted great interest as nutraceuticals for developing functional foods and dietary supplements. They vary in physicochemical properties and are often characterized by low stability (e.g., oxygen, light, and heat sensitivity), inadequate sensory properties, low solubility, or low bioavailability (due to poor absorption or intensive metabolism and elimination). Those factors limit their utilization as nutraceuticals.To overcome these limitations, it is necessary to develop suitable extraction and formulation procedures that are specifically designed for each antioxidant, aiming to maintain the stability of the active ingredient and ensure targeted delivery. The focus should be on green extraction and formulation techniques requiring less energy, non-toxic solvents, and lower amounts of lipids, surfactants, and biopolymers, while providing safe and superior products.In this Reprint of the Special Issue, original research reports and updated literature reviews provide an overview of the current state of the knowledge on novel methods for the green extraction and formulation of antioxidants derived from food and agricultural wastes.

Anticancer Drug Discovery Based on Natural Products

Cancer is heterogeneous and dynamic in nature, and its drug resistance, due to high vulnerability to point mutations, and its aberrant pathways are making it quite challenging to efficiently address and manage. Natural products have always been a mainstream source of anticancer drugs due to the modulation of multiple hallmark traits of cancer. Nevertheless, the anticancer drugs available today are not efficient in treating patients with advanced-stage cancers and also exert quite serious side effects. One thing that clinicians and researchers have thoroughly understood so far is that highly specific drugs with only a single mechanism of action are not a prime choice. Thus, polypharmacologically active drugs with detailed knowledge about the genes and pathways that they modulate are what researchers and clinicians are presently looking for. Gene and pathway knowledge will also help us to understand the possible side effects of any drugs in advance since most genes are not specific to a particular location or responsible only for a particular disease. Most genes influence other genes as they are connected through the related pathways. Cheminformatics- and bioinformatics-based studies such as network-pharmacology-based studies, ADMET prediction, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations are quite important in aiding and expediting research towards the translational level.Translational aspects of preclinical studies to clinical level are of utmost importance for natural products to progress from bench to bedside.

Will Vaccines Be the End of Us?

225 Years of Medical WitchcraftWhat are vaccines? Vaccines are experimental blends of biological and chemical junk that don't work and have maimed or killed an uncountable number of people. The lie that they have "saved millions of lives" has been repeated so often and for so long that most consider it the undisputable truth. Yet any serious investigation will reveal that there are no vaccination success stories, only myths taught in medical universities and served to the public by the fake news establishment, both of which have strong financial ties with the big pharmaceutical firms that manufacture vaccines. Since 1796, when it all started, thoughtful people have emphatically condemned the procedure and exposed its dark underside. And now, with the Covid-19 hoax, the criminals who develop and promote vaccines are trying to force the most dangerous "medicine" ever invented on the entire world. As a result, we may be living on the brink of an unthinkable human tragedy.Like nearly all Americans, the author was taught in elementary school about the supposed miracle of vaccines, and for many years never questioned them. Then his life was overturned by their long-term effects, and he began a personal inquiry spanning thirty years. Drawing on the outstanding efforts of past researchers, he condenses the entire history of vaccination after telling his own story. But this book is unique in presenting the "big picture" - in examining vaccination within the framework of all destructive behavior and erroneous beliefs that have mangled human history. In doing so, it delves into taboo topics that many would find offensive. Those unfamiliar with controversial viewpoints and the underground literature movement in America should think twice about reading it.This book was completed in October 2019, two months before the first news of a novel corona virus was reported from Wuhan, China. Subsequent events up to July 2021 are addressed in an important afterword.

The Dreaded Pox

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, venereal disease, or the 'pox, ' was a dreaded diagnosis throughout Europe. Its ghastly marks, along with their inexorable link to sex, were so stigmatizing that it was commonly called 'the secret disease.' How do we capture everyday experiences of a disease that so few people admitted having? Olivia Weisser's remarkable history invites readers into the teeming, vibrant pox-riddled streets of early modern London. She uncovers the lives of the poxed elite as well as of the maidservants and prostitutes who left few words behind, showing how marks of the disease offered a language for expressing acts that were otherwise unutterable. This new history of sex, stigma, and daily urban life takes readers down alleys where healers peddled their tinctures, enters kitchens and gardens where ordinary sufferers made cures, and listens in on intimate exchanges between patients and healers in homes and in taverns.

Roles of Extracellular Vesicles From Different Origins in Metabolic- Associated Fatty Liver Disease

""Roles of Extracellular Vesicles from Different Origins in Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: Progress and Perspectives"" provides an in-depth exploration of the critical roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and their clinical translational potential. As the most common chronic liver disease globally, the progression of MAFLD may lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer, while effective non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic methods remain lacking. This book offers the first systematic review of the multifaceted roles of EVs from host cells, plants, and gut microbiota in MAFLD: from serving as biomarkers for disease staging, to acting as therapeutic mediators that regulate lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, and even as drug delivery vehicles and novel therapeutic targets. The authors provide a detailed analysis of how proteins, miRNAs, and lipids carried by EVs mediate intercellular communication, driving disease progression or alleviation, with a special emphasis on the groundbreaking findings related to EVs derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immune cells in reversing liver injury. Additionally, the protective functions of plant- and probiotic-derived EVs offer new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of MAFLD. By integrating cutting-edge research findings with the challenges of clinical translation, this book provides comprehensive insights for researchers, clinicians, and drug developers, helping to shape the development of the next generation of non-invasive diagnostic tools and precision therapies, thereby reshaping the management paradigm of MAFLD.

Epidemiology, Virulence Factors and Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated MRSA ((HA)-MRSA) infections, and its prevalence is also increasing in community-associated MRSA ((CA)-MRSA) infections. Studies on the prevalence of asymptomatic S. aureus and MRSA carriage are important since colonization is a possible precursor stage of invasive disease. The variety of S. aureus species causing infections is largely due to the wide variety of virulence factors encoded by these bacteria, which favor the invasion of different tissues and the evasion of the host's immune system. Genetically diverse, the epidemiology of MRSA is primarily characterized by the serial emergence of epidemic strains. The constant monitoring of these profiles of resistance to antimicrobials, as well as the knowledge of the prevalent and circulating clonal profiles in hospitals, is extremely important for the direction of empirical therapies. Currently, newly developed drugs can treat these resistant staphylococci, but there are already reports of reduced sensitivity to them. Successful treatment remains challenging and requires the evaluation of both novel antimicrobials and adjunctive aspects of care and source control. This Reprint includes contributions that further our understanding of basic and clinical S. aureus research regarding epidemiology, transmission, genetic diversity, virulence factors, surveillance and treatment, and brings together the expertise and enthusiasm of an international group of contributors to research in this field.
