Abstract Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a life-threatening condition primarily associated with the use of high-absorbency tampons and synthetic menstrual products. The presence of synthetic fibres, dioxins, and chemical additives in these products has been linked to hormonal disruption and an increased risk of bacterial overgrowth, leading to severe complications such as amputations, and even […]

Abstract Methemoglobinemia is a pathological condition characterised by the oxidation of haemoglobin’s ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) to ferric iron (Fe³⁺), impairing its ability to transport oxygen. In sickle cell disease (SCD) and other disorders, oxidative stress and redox imbalances promote excessive methemoglobin (MetHb) formation, worsening hypoxia and tissue damage. This paper explores the biochemical mechanisms driving […]
