Arsenic accumulation and reproductive toxicity in freshwater snail (Pomacea canaliculata) by Xiaoyang Bi, Zhifei Shi, Dongqin Li, Wenhui Zhan, Zhixiong Wang, Huashou Li, Benliang Zhao, Guikui Chen

“…Moreover, compared with arsenite, arsenate was more prone to accumulate in the organs (intestine-stomach, head-foot, kidney, gonad, shell, heart, and hemolymph). Excretion through excrement is likely the primary mechanism contributing to the low accumulation of As and the subsequent rapid decline in As concentrations observed in various organs during the depuration period. …”

Metagenomic Detection of Divergent Insect- and Bat-Associated Viruses in Plasma from Two African Individuals Enrolled in Blood-Borne Surveillance by Gregory S. Orf, Ana Olivo, Barbara Harris, Sonja L. Weiss, Asmeeta Achari, Guixia Yu, Scot Federman, Dora Mbanya, Linda James, Samuel Mampunza, Charles Y. Chiu, Mary A. Rodgers, Gavin A. Cloherty, Michael G. Berg

“…Although of unclear pathogenicity, these viruses were found circulating at high enough concentrations in plasma for genomes to be assembled and were most closely related to those previously associated with bird or bat excrement. Phylogenetic analyses and in silico host predictions suggested that these are invertebrate viruses likely transmitted through feces containing consumed insects or through contaminated shellfish. …”

Transformacja w sztuce w postkomunistycznej Europie by Magdalena Radomska

“…The first part of the paper focuses on Jaan Toomik’s May 15-June 1, 1992, interpreted in the theoretical terms proposed by Marina Gržinić and Boris Groys as a work of art that visualizes the concept of post-communism as excrement of the transformation process. Placed in the context of such works as In Fat(1998) by Eglė Rakauskaitė, 200 000 Ft(1997) by the Hungarian artist Kriszta Nagy or Corrections(1996-1998) by Rassim Krastev from Bulgaria, Toomik’s work is one of many created at that time in East-Central Europe, which thematized the transformation process with reference to the artist’s body. …”
