What threshold of urinary cadmium (Cd-U) is currently considered indicative of early renal tubular dysfunction in exposed adult populations?
I am conducting a study on chronic environmental cadmium exposure and its nephrotoxic effects, particularly focusing on early biomarkers of renal tubular damage. Several sources suggest 2 µg/g creatinine as a reference point, but variability exists depending on population, sex, and co-exposure. Could experts clarify which threshold (e.g. 1 µg/g, 2 µg/g, or 5 µg/g creatinine) is most reliable or currently used in risk assessments and clinical practice?

What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...

How sustainable are current water sources—including alternatives such as desalination, wastewater reuse, and groundwater—for supporting irrigated agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions?
Over 80% of water use in semi-arid and arid regions is allocated to agricultural irrigation, making the sustainability of water sources in these areas a critical concern. The key trade-offs and long-term implications of relying on alternative waters sources are not fully understood.

Why is the death rate of male in heart disease always higher than that of women? How can a male achieve that power?
It is clear from the report of WHO that the death rate of Male in heart-disease is higher than that of women. This observation suggests that the woman may have some physical advantage. Besides, differential food, beverage-drinking, and smoking habit, etc. can also contribute to it. For example, the habit of consuming oily foods (saturated fat harms heart) is more in the case of some individuals (taste matter). Although many people are aware of the issue, they can't change the food-habits....

How does a friccohesity quantum mechanically correlate shear stress and shear rate with surface tension or energy to smoothen systolic and diastolic heart beat with 120/80 mmHg blood pressure?
Pumping large sized food particles with least surface energy, heart needs more energy while for small sized a less. The higher friccohesity predicts small sized food particles with more adherence with blood serum with higher energy moderating shear rate with surface energy.

Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
