Abstract
Gastroscopy to 35 patients with fluorosis, 32 with arsenic-fluorosis, and 25 control had been performed to study the influence of fluorosis on arsenic-fluorosis on the gastric mucosa. There was significant difference on gradient and activity of chronic gastritis among the three groups, but there was no significant difference in the fluorosis and arsenic-fluorosis [groups]. It appears that pathological changes of gastric mucosa of fluorosis and arsenic-fluorosis may be caused only by fluorosis.

Level of fluoride and arsenic in household shallow well water in Wamiao and Xinhuai villages in Jiangsu Province, China
After previously excluding iodine and lead as confounding factors, the aim of the present study, conducted in June 2013, was to consider whether arsenic was a confounding factor in the studies of children’s intelligence in Wamiao and Xinhuai. Fluoride and arsenic levels were measured in water samples from the 37

Curcumin supplementation protects from genotoxic effects of arsenic and fluoride
The present study was aimed to evaluate curcumin as a potential natural antioxidant to mitigate the genotoxic effects of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F) in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The study was divided into nine groups consisting of negative control, positive control treated with ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS; 1.93 mM)

Scenario, Perspectives and Mechanism of Arsenic and Fluoride Co-occurrence in the Groundwater: A Review.
Highlights: First review on co-occurrence perspectives of Arsenic and Fluoride in the groundwater. As and F co-occurrences is quite common yet concealed owing to one being dominant. Arid areas are more suitable for co-occurrence with few reports in the Alluvium plains. Local hydro-geochemical processes and seasonality greatly affect co-contamination. Co-contamination

Fluoride exposure is associated with altered metabolism of arsenic in an adult Mexican population.
Highlights Co-occurrence of As and F was found in water and urine samples. Interactions between the exposure of As and F on arsenic metabolism in humans were found. Interaction terms show increased MAs% and decreased DMAs% and As methylation indices. F exposure may modify the As metabolism profile, in low-moderate

Fluoride and arsenic contamination in drinking water due to mining activities and its impact on local area population.
Contamination of arsenic and fluoride in drinking water reservoirs is a serious health issue in the Sibi district, Balochistan, Pakistan. The contamination has already been affecting a large population of the district. Dental fluorosis and dermatitis are the most common reported illnesses in the area. This study focused on the

Side Effects from Fluoride Gels: Gastric Distress
Gastric distress -- including nausea, pain, and vomiting -- is one the most common side effects from professional application of "fluoride gels" at the dentist. Patients receiving fluoride gels can swallow more than 20 mg of fluoride from a single treatment -- doses that far exceed the doses that can

Fluoride-Induced Damage to Gastric Mucosa in Human Clinical Trials
When fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental treatment for osteoporosis, gastric pain is one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. To better understand how fluoride causes this effect, researchers have sought to determine how fluoride affects the tissue that lines the gastrointestinal tract. In a

Fluoride & Gastrointestinal System: The Importance of Fluoride Concentration in Stomach
The following is an excerpt from the National Research Council's (2006) review of fluoride toxicity: "It is important to realize that GI effects depend more on the net concentration of the aqueous solution of fluoride in the stomach than on the total fluoride dose in the fluid or solid ingested. The

Fluoride-Induced Gastric Symptoms in Human Clinical Trials
In studies where fluoride has been used (at doses of 18-34 mg/day) as an experimental drug for the treatment of osteoporosis, gastrointestinal disturbances are one of the two main side effects consistently encountered. The following are some of the accounts from the published literature: "The use of fluoride in the prophylaxis or

Gastrointestinal Problems Among Individuals with Skeletal Fluorosis
Humans suffering from skeletal fluorosis are known to suffer from an increased occurrence of gastrointestinal disorders. When fluoride intake is reduced, these gastrointestinal problems are among the first symptoms to disappear. The following are some of the studies that have examined this issue: "It is clear from the observations presented in this article
