Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the level of traceelements Zinc, Cadmium and lead in seminal plasma and serum of infertile men to the fertileones. Period: June 2014 to August 2015. Setting: Pathology Department of Continental MedicalLahore, attached with Ch. Rehmat Ali Memorial Trust teaching Hospital Methods: A total of 400samples of workers working in different factories for a period of 5 or more years were collected.Out of theses 80 were azoospermic. The relationship of trace elements in serum and seminalplasma of infertile men was compared with the normospermic individual controls. Results: Theconcentration of trace elements Pb and Cd was higher in seminal plasma and serum of infertileindividuals while Zn level was lower. So it is suggested that high levels of Pb and Cd may affectthe fertility and Zn is a crucial element for sperms and fertility in men.

This study aimed to determine the relationship of  thyroid hormone disturbance and prolactin over production to impact on the menstrual irregularities anovulation .This  study were carried out in Al-Karama teaching hospital and  included (47) primary infertile women, (30 ) of them were with hypothyroidism , the patients aged between (18-40). This study extended from February to June  2017. The hormonal assay of TSH, FT3, FT4 ,FSH , LH and PRL that revealed  :- There were high  significantly (p < 0.01) increased in TSH concentrations , significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in levels of FT3 and  FT4.Gonadotropins hormones recorded significantly ( p <0.05) decreased in levels of FSH and non significantly increased in levels of LH. Prolactin concentrations that obtained revealed to significantly (p < 0.05) increased in patients with hypothyroidism . This study reported there were (70%) of hypothyroidism patients with menstrual disturbance. We concluded , that hypothyroidism and Hyperprolactinemia commonly related and synergized to menstrual irregularities and ovulatory failure.

In coastal systems, concentrations of trace metals in filter feeders such as shellfish may be affected by anthropogenic activities, including agriculture and aquaculture. Shellfish are a good source of iron, but can also be a potential source of toxic elements, such as cadmium and lead, when consumed by humans. The objective of this study was to determine the differences in iron, zinc, copper, manganese, nickel, lead, and cadmium levels in tissue of the clam Chione gnidia collected from a coastal lagoon influenced by agriculture (Lobos) or aquaculture (Tobari), using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The relationship of iron with all other trace elements in these organisms was explored using a generalized linear model (GLM).  Iron, copper, manganese, and cadmium concentrations were significantly higher in shellfish collected from the coastal lagoon influenced by agriculture, while nickel was significantly higher in shellfish from the lagoon influenced by aquaculture. In these shellfish, cadmium and lead levels were the factors limiting the weekly intake of clam flesh. The GLM model explained 59% of the iron concentration in the Venus clam, suggesting that this element is directly related to zinc and manganese levels, but inversely related to cadmium content in shellfish.

Studies on serum level of some trace elements in oculocutaneous albinism subject in Owerri metropolis was carried out using standard methods. Sixty (60) volunteer subjects made of 30 male and 30 female were used for the study. With the help of syringes, their sera were obtained from their blood samples and used for trace element analysis. Observed results revealed significant (p<0.05) decrease in levels of copper and zinc in male and female oculocutaneous albinism subjects against the control. The mean values for copper and zinc in both male and female also showed significant (p<0.05) reduction when compared to the control. The observed decreased in copper could influence tyrosinase and subsequently melanin production. There is need to investigate the relationship of the pigmentation disorder with other trace elements that were not considered in the present study. This study has revealed the serum level of some trace elements in oculocutaneous albinism subject in Owerri metropolis.

SummaryThe distribution of trace elements is studied in different acid and basic rocks, adjacent to the copper lodes in the Mosaboni mines, Singhbhum, and adjoining the thrust zone, as well as of areas far away from the mineralized zones. Specific differences in composition and trace constituents in these rocks especially as regards S, Cu, Ni, and Co, suggest that the relationship of the Singhbhum granite with the soda granite is most unlikely, and that there is a connection between the soda granite and the sulphide ore-fluid ; a genetic relationship of sulphide mineralization with the epidiorite is doubtful. The possibility of the existence of a common source for the Chotanagpur granite and the Singhbhum granite is inferred.
