Association of serum high-sensitivity C reactive protein with risk of mortality in an Asian population: the Health Examinees cohort by Jong-Koo Lee, Daehee Kang, Sang-Ah Lee, Xiao-Ou Shu, Sung Ok Kwon, Hyerim Park

“…The association of serum hsCRP with risk of cancer mortality was not observed in women with NCDhistory, but the association with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was predominantly observed in men with NCDhistory.Conclusions This study suggests a dose–response association of hsCRP with mortality risk, including cancer and CVD mortality, in Koreans with low serum hsCRP, although the association with cancer and CVD mortality risk could be influenced by gender and NCDhistory.…”

Brodifacoum causes coagulopathy, hemorrhages, and mortality in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at environmentally relevant hepatic residue concentrations by Hannah Schmieg, Hermann Ferling, Karina Annika Bucher, Stefanie Jacob, Julia Regnery, Hannah Schrader, Julia Schwaiger, Anton Friesen

“…In the 60 days-experiment, brodifacoum doses ≥ 100 µg/kg body weight caused additionally discoloration, apathy, and anorexia, resulting in reduced weight gain, and ultimately mortality. The delay until the onset of overt symptoms (14–17 days) highlights the importance of test duration while investigating effects of anticoagulant rodenticides in fish. …”
