“…Since the samples in this study were taken in summer, underestimation of the associated risk may be possible. Thus, future work plans to adopt methods such as probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) to address these uncertainty by calculating risks based on the range and statistical distribution of exposure parameters 52 , 53 .…”

Metal pollution in drinking water source has been under scrutiny as it seriously affects human health. This work examined 12 dissolved metals in the surface and overlying water of the Xiangjiang River, an important drinking water source in southern China, and characterized their distribution, identified their possible sources, assessed their toxicity load, and determined their potential ecological and health risk. No significant difference was found in the metal concentration between surface and overlying water. The average metal concentration fell in the order of Mg > Mn > Ba > Fe > Zn > As > Sb > Ni > Cd > V > Cr > Co, and all was lower than the safety threshold in the drinking water guideline of China. Anthropogenic activities were found to be the main source of metals from correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis (CA). According to the total heavy metal toxicity load (HMTL), 98.20%, 71.54%, 68.88%, and 7.97% of As, Cd, Sb, and Mn should be removed from the surface water to ensure safety. Most water samples from the surveyed area were found to have high ecological risk as was measured by the ecological risk index (RI). Health risk assessment showed that children are more susceptible than adults to the non-carcinogenic risk of dissolved metals, and the potential carcinogenic risk (CR) of As and Cd should be addressed. The results provide guidance for controlling the metal pollution of the Xiangjiang River and improving its quality as a drinking water source.

Aim: To assess the role of Intraprostatic injection of epinephrine intra-operatively in patients undergoing TURP in decreasing blood loss and the need for subsequent blood transfusions. Design: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Place and duration of study: The Kidney Centre Postgraduate Training Institute, Karachi, from March till August 2020. Methodology: A total of 40 patients were chosen at random and divided into two groups of equal size. One group got an intra-prostatic injection of epinephrine, whereas the other received a standard saline injection. Both groups were evaluated in terms of prostate volume (ml), resected tissue (gms), surgical resection time (minutes), pre and post-operative Hemoglobin (HB), and Hematocrit (HCT) levels. Intra-operative blood loss was then quantified using the last two variables. Transfusion requirement in both groups was also recorded. Results: Mean +Age of patients in Group A and Group B was 66.30+9.24years and 65.65+7.43years, respectively, with no significant difference between both groups (p=0.808). Median and IQR Prostatic volume in Group A and Group B was 68.0, 15, and 64.0,21, suggesting no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.372). Mean + S.D Loss of HB of patients in Group A and Group B was 1.15 + 0.42 and 1.87+1.04, respectively, with a significant difference between both groups (p=0.007). Mean + S.D of post-op HCT patients in Group A and Group B was 3.16+1.50 and 4.81+2.79, revealing a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.026). No patients in Group A needed blood transfusions, whereas six patients in Group B had blood transfusions, indicating a statistical distinction between the two groups (p=0.001). Conclusion: The use of intra-prostatic injection of epinephrine leads to reduced blood loss and subsequently reduced operative time, irrigation fluid usage, and blood transfusion during TURP. It also allows a greater amount of prostatic tissue to be resected. Keywords: Transurethral resection of Prostate, Epinephrine, Blood transfusion, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit.
