All-night polysomnography followed by a four- to five-nap multiple sleep latency test confirmed a diagnosis of toxin-induced narcolepsy in each case. Therefore, patients presenting with heavy metal toxicity with symptoms of daytime somnolence should be evaluated for the presence of narcolepsy so ...
Acute metal toxicity can be a life-threatening medical emergency that may require aggressive treatment in a hospital setting.

Heavy metal pollution causes a number of toxic symptoms both in higher plants and algae, e.g. growth retardation, inhibition of photosynthesis, induction and inhibition of enzymes, generation of oxidative stress. All plants cope with heavy metal stress by exploiting broad range of different response...
