First review on the selenium status in Germany covering the last 50 years and on the selenium content of selected food items

Marina Liaskos et al.

Summary: This article presents the research on selenium status and intake in the German population. By screening literature from the past 50 years and combining the results of various studies, the average selenium level in the German population was determined, and the selenium content of selected food items was analyzed. These findings will serve as a foundation for interpreting future results from national food consumption surveys and estimating selenium intake in the German population.

A critical review on various remediation approaches for heavy metal contaminants removal from contaminated soils

Saravanan Rajendran et al.

Summary: Heavy metal pollution is a global environmental challenge that poses a significant threat to human life. Various methods have been explored to eliminate heavy metal pollutants from the environment, but are constrained by high expenses, processing duration, geological problems, and political issues. The immobilization of metals, phytoextraction, and biological methods have proven practical in treating metal contaminants from the soil.

Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

Selenium transformation and selenium-rich foods

Nan Chen et al.

Summary: Selenium is an essential trace element involved in the synthesis of selenoproteins in higher animals, with organic selenium considered safer than inorganic selenium. While super-nutritional intake of selenium has been claimed to prevent cancer, consistent clinical results are lacking. In selenium-deficient areas, consuming selenium-rich foods may be the safest and best recommendation.

Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi

Molly Muleya et al.

Summary: The study revealed that fertiliser-derived selenium accounted for the majority of selenium in the edible portions of crops, and both fertiliser-derived selenium and soil-derived selenium were transformed into similar organic species, with selenomethionine being the main form of fertiliser-derived selenium. Despite variations in selenium species among different crops, the bioaccessibility of fertiliser-derived selenium showed almost no difference.

Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of oral selenium from organic and inorganic sources: A review

Niels Hadrup et al.

Summary: Both organic and inorganic selenium can be absorbed into the blood in humans, with organic selenium being more bioavailable. Selenium is distributed throughout the body, including in breast milk. The elimination of selenium mainly occurs through fecal and urinary pathways, with minor contributions from breath, saliva, and hair.
