Several major diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular abnormalities, may be linked to
pathological deposition of minerals or organic compounds in various tissues. 1− 3 Thus, the …

For the past several decades, synchrotron radiation has been extensively used to measure
the spatial distribution and chemical affinity of elements found in trace concentrations (< few …

As is well-known, trace elements, especially metals, play an important role in the
pathogenesis of many disorders. The topographic and quantitative elemental analysis of …

The Ag, Co, Cr, Fe, Hg, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, and Zn contents in normal (n= 37), benign
hypertrophic (n= 43), and cancerous tissues (n= 60) of the human prostate gland were …

Adenocarcinoma of prostate gland is an internationally important health problem in men,
