Levels and diagnostic values of serum visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor and secreted frizzle-related protein 5 in children with idiopathic short stature
Authors: Che Ling , Chen Lei , Hou Binlan , Ouyang Fei , Zhou Huimei
Published: July 2023

Background: Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a common type of short stature. We aimed to analyze the diagnostic values of serum visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (Vaspin) and secreted frizzle-related protein 5 (SFRP5) for ISS children.

Methods: Sixty-five ISS children treated from February 2019 to June 2022 were selected as an ISS group, while another 65 healthy children receiving physical examination in the same period were selected as a healthy group. Their general data, physical development status, levels of serum Vaspin and SFRP5, and levels of serum growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)/growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis-related indicators were compared.

Results: The ISS group had lower body height, body weight, bone age, growth velocity and serum SFRP5 level and higher serum Vaspin level than those of the healthy group (P<0.05). The levels of serum GHRH, GH and IGF-1 were lower in the ISS group than those in the healthy group (P<0.05). Body height, body weight, bone age, growth velocity, and levels of GHRH, GH and IGF-1 were negatively correlated with serum Vaspin level (r<0, P<0.05) but positively correlated with serum SFRP5 level (r>0, P<0.05). The areas under the ROC curves of serum Vaspin and SFRP5 and their combination for the diagnosis of ISS were 0.871 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.812-0.929], 0.880 (95% CI: 0.824-0.935) and 0.942 (95% CI: 0.907-0.977), respectively.

Conclusions: Children with ISS have a higher level of serum Vaspin but a lower level of SFRP5, and the combined detection has a higher diagnostic value for ISS.

Published: July 2023

INTRODUCTION: Type 1 tyrosinemia is an innate error of tyrosine catabolism, causing an accumulation of its metabolites in the organism, which end up triggering organic changes, especially in the liver, kidneys and central nervous system. CASE DESCRIPTION: Preschooler aged 4 years and 4 months, male, referred for suspicion of hypophosphatemic rickets. Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap, proteinuria and glycosuria was also identified, characterizing Fanconi syndrome. Abdominal ultrasound indicated enlarged liver and multiple hypoechoic nodular images. Tyrosinemia was placed as the main diagnostic hypothesis. Even without diagnostic conclusion, treatment with nitisone and diet with dietary restriction were initiated. After a short time, he died of complications from the disease. DISCUSSION: The severity of tyrosinemia is significant - and particularly its rapid evolution. However, it should be emphasized, the availability of effective diagnostic methods for the disease. In addition, there are currently treatments that allow a more favorable outcome. CONCLUSION: Thus, the need to transmit knowledge about this pathology is evident, so that the index of suspicion is high and early.
La posibilidad de las cláusulas en el condicional y la disyunción
Authors: López-Astorga Miguel
Published: July 2023

La teoría de los modelos mentales ofrece una explicación de cómo los seres humanos infieren conclusiones. Tal explicación no es coherente con la lógica clásica. Admite inferencias que son incorrectas en dicha lógica. Dos de esas inferencias son consideradas aquí. Una de ellas permite derivar que las cláusulas de un condicional son posibles si ese condicional es verdadero. La otra autoriza a deducir que las cláusulas de una disyunción son posibles si esa disyunción es verdadera. Recurriendo al modo que en Crisipo de Solos entiende las relaciones condicionales, este trabajo propone dos axiomas que describen las estructuras de esas dos inferencias. La idea es que tales axiomas podrían ser incluidos en un hipotético sistema axiomático que intentara reproducir cómo son los procesos inferenciales humanos.
NARRATIVA SOCIAL NA ÁREA DA SAÚDE: A PRODUÇÃO DISCURSIVA EM TEXTOS MÉDICOS
Authors: Lopes Pablo de Oliveira
Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho, um artigo de caráter bibliográfico e documental, discute como se constrói a narrativa do médico e comunicador Drauzio Varella em texto publicado no site homônimo, avaliando de que maneira sua produção discursiva leva ao público não especializado em saúde informações acerca de enfermidades como a Covid-19. Discute-se também como o médico infectologista e pesquisador Rico Vasconcelos trata o tema HIV/AIDS em outro texto. A saúde coletiva nos servirá de campo de análise, pois discutiremos se as publicações foram elaboradas com base em um modelo biomédico hegemônico, conferindo visão monolítica aos temas aos quais dá destaque, ou se é possível extrair dos escritos um viés interdisciplinar, que permite ao leitor compreender questões relacionadas ao processo saúde-doença indo além dos limites definidos pela medicina, sensu stricto. Avaliaremos também os aspectos concernentes à linguagem usada, já que se trata de textos em versão on-line, e os meios digitais têm transformado modos de leitura e escrita por intermédio do chamado hipertexto. O artigo lançará mão de elementos que promoverão a articulação entre duas diferentes áreas do conhecimento: a medicina (integrante da área da saúde) e a comunicação (representada pela divulgação científica em saúde).
Tratamento combinado: psicofarmacologia e psicoterapia
Authors: Mabilde Luiz Carlos
Published: July 2023

De uma posição conflitante em direção a uma posição de maior integração, a psicoterapia combinada com a terapêutica medicamentosa vem obtendo mais psiquiatras praticantes. Eles têm caracterizado sua prática clínica por uma abordagem não dicotômica entre a Psiquiatria Biológica e a Psiquiatria Psicodinâmica. O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a evolução de aspectos psicodinâmicos e psicofarmacológicos envolvidos no tratamento combinado. Na segunda parte, é apresentar um modelo psiquiátrico terapêutico integrativo. A origem remonta a história de cada uma dessas vertentes, sendo o resultado consequência da capacidade do psiquiatra. Ele deve integrar diagnóstico clínico com diagnóstico estrutural, bem como usar técnicas distintas. Para melhor entender como o modelo funciona, o autor incluiu duas ilustrações clínicas.

Muitos estudos têm abordado a influência do estresse materno no desenvolvimento fetal e o risco aumentado para o surgimento de doenças na infância e na fase adulta. Esse processo, conhecido como programação fetal, ainda não está bem determinado e esclarecido. No entanto, já está estabelecido que o estresse materno causa alterações hormonais significativas, principalmente no eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal, maior chance de parto prematuro, de bebês com baixo peso ao nascer, maior risco de desenvolvimento de transtornos psiquiátricos e de alterações nutricionais
Pré-história da psicoterapia brasileira: a chegada do magnetismo animal no Brasil, 1823-1887
Authors: Câmara Fernando Portela
Published: July 2023

A introdução do magnetismo animal como prática médica reivindicada por Leopoldo Gamard em 1832, foi frustrada pelo membro  titular da Sociedade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro, Augusto Renato Cuissart, seguindo a mesma lógica acusatória que Mesmer sofrera em Paris. Apesar dessa rejeição, a Sociedade de Medicina – hoje Academia Nacional de Medicina – não conseguiu frear a entrada desse controvertido método no Brasil, e a prática do magnetismo foi efetivamente usada entre nós até a chegada da grande novidade da terapia sugestiva ou hipnotismo.

Moradias assistidas para pacientes dependentes químicos: realidade ou utopia?
Authors: Diehl Alessandra , Laranjeira Ronaldo
Published: July 2023

Indivíduos dependentes de álcool e drogas com histórias de abandono, encarceramento, e falta de apoio social para a vida em sobriedade são particularmente mais vulneráveis à recaída quando não encontram a prestação de serviços de longo prazo baseados no reforço comunitário e que apoiam a sobriedade. Neste contexto, a Moradia Assistida tem como objetivo promover um serviço de cuidados posteriores a dependentes químicos que não necessitam seguir institucionalizadas, mas que se beneficiariam de uma estrutura com maior suporte de tratamento. Os moradores geralmente desenvolvem fortes laços psicológicos e sociais e têm sido referidos como “ famílias alternativas”, evocando, assim, o conceito antropológico de parentesco fictício. Os resultados tanto quantitativos quanto qualitativos sugerem vários desfechos positivos deste modelo desde diminuição de custos de tratamento a longo prazo, maior taxa de manutenção da recuperação até a maior individuação e aquisição de valores outrora perdidos com a fase da adicção ativa. Assim sendo, este modelo mostra-se um importante recurso terapêutico a ser agregado na construção da rede de equipamentos já existentes para o tratamento da dependência de álcool e outras drogas.
El caballo: de arma de guerra a símbolo socia
Authors:   Universidad de Extremadura (España), García Fitz Francisco
Published: July 2023

This article offers a comprehensive overview of the research carried out around the various roles assigned to war horses in the Middle Ages, bringing into focus the latest methodological and bibliographical contributions to the field. Taking as a starting point the centrality of the horse to military practice as a warfare tool, a line of research has focused on the high cost of its breeding, maintenance and equipment as determining factors linking it to a socioeconomic elite. However, this was not always the case: only the confluence of a long series of technical, sociological and ideological changes made it possible for the warlike weapon to become as well a symbol of hierarchy and social pre-eminence. The presentation of the main views and lines of research on these issues is the main object of this work.
«El estilo he de tener que tuvieron mis abuelos». Tradición y recreación del testamento de animales desde la latinidad tardía hasta el siglo xxi: textos y contextos
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Puerto Moro Laura
Published: July 2023

This article discusses the literary subgenre of animal testament from an interdisciplinary perspective, addressing the confluence of rite, life and artistic re-creation which articulates its survival from the 4th c. until today. The first part of the study includes a panoramic approach to literary testament and its critical reception, to subsequently focus on the late medieval testimony of the Testamentum Grunnii Corocottae porcelli (4th c.) and its discursive and festive keys. Our second stop explores the turning point which the printing press entailed for the genre and its secular oral transmission, with attention to the texts of the first testimonies of this kind conserved in print: the Testamento del gallo and Testamento de la zorra, by the blind poet Cristóbal Bravo (16th c.). The final section delves into the carnivalesque dimension of the texts, the paratheatrical representations which accompany it and their continuity in modern oral tradition, with the partial inclusion of a Testamento de la zorra from 2019. The article concludes with a brief reflection on the necessity of addressing the social and cultural practices which give meaning to so many enduring literary genres.
La pantera, el unicornio y la sirena: la evolución de tres motivos zoológicos a través de la literatura inglesa del periodo medieval temprano
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla (España), Bello Mercedes Salvador
Published: July 2023

This article provides the results of a research of the impact that a group of English works have had on the reception of the knowledge of exotic and fantastic animals in the literature and culture of the Early Middle Ages in Europe. For this purpose, a series of descriptions of mythical or imaginary animals and beings is analyzed through a selection of texts: on the one hand, the Physiologus in the versions found in the Exeter Book (Exeter, Cathedral Library, MS. 3501) and in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 448; on other, Aldhelm’s Enigmata and the Liber monstrorum. In doing so, we examine, on the one hand, the idea of the exotic animal with the case of the panther and, on the other, the representation of fabulous creatures such as the unicorn or the mermaid in the early medieval period.
Vicios, virtudes y el Bestiario: significado tropológico de los ciclos escultóricos de París, Amiens y Chartres
Authors:   Universidad de Puerto Rico (Estados Unidos), Solivan Roble Jennifer
Published: July 2023

This work aims to analyze the tropological meaning of the animals and creatures accompanying the images of vices and virtues in the sculptural cycles of the cathedrals of Paris, Chartres, and Amiens. To determine the moral meaning of the eleven animals, we consulted diverse sources. These include traditional sources for iconographical studies on the virtues and vices, such as the Bible and the Patristic. We also examined sources related to the study of animals in the Middle Ages and texts chronologically close to the period when these depictions were sculpted, such as sermons and exempla. For some cases, it was essential to consider and contrast the tropological meaning of the vice and/or virtue accompanying or antagonizing the one with the animal. In these cases, the sculptures themselves were their symbolic source.
El ave fénix: imagen simbólica y didáctica de la resurrección en la transición del arte antiguo al altomedieval
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Valtierra Lacalle Ana
Published: July 2023

The phoenix became one of the most emblematic representations of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. It was capable of reviving from its own ashes. This ability to die and be reborn made it an animal widely represented in art, the iconography of which was highly symbolic. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used its image in funerary and political contexts. Early Christians appropriated this symbol, using it from early times as an example of the resurrection. In this article we focus on the representation of the phoenix now of its death and rebirth, focusing on its appearance in funerary contexts (tombs and sarcophagi) as well as the depiction of the moment of its own cremation. We will analyze the reasons why this animal iconography was so successful in ancient and medieval Christian sources. In this way we will be able to understand how the phoenix, which was a powerful image with very ancient origins in the Mediterranean, became with the arrival of Christianity an exemplum of the true existence of the resurrection of Christ and a symbol of hope for humanity in the face of death.

Published: July 2023

Between the 11th and the12th centuries, the Anthroponomic Revolution took place. This is defined as a process that developed on a European scale and completely transformed the way of designating people. The previous system based on a single name and a broad onomastic stock was replaced by a smaller set of names to which a second element was added, the precursor of surnames. This paper develops a state of the matter on the characteristics and causes of the Anthroponomic Revolution and analyses the possibilities offered by anthroponymy to study medieval migrations.
Developing a Framework for Professional Teacher Technical Identity Development through Mobile Learning
Authors: Moodley Kimera
Published: July 2023

Teacher identity development is an ongoing and dynamic process whereby individuals negotiate external and internal expectations as they make sense of themselves and their work as educators. With the advancements in technology education and the many studies being done to understand and provide a simplified yet effective implementation process, the role of teacher identity development is of crucial importance. This is due to the close connection between identity and practice. Numerous studies have focused on the contributing factors that influence technology integration and implementation in teaching. Several models have been created to understand technology acceptance amongst teachers and learners, but the identity development that takes place within a teacher has not been explored. This article provides a framework that can be used to evaluate professional teacher technical identity development (PTTID) using three existing models related to technology integration. The Technological. Pedagogical, Content Knowledge (originally TPCK) now known as Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition (SAMR) models were investigated to identify plausible links. An action research approach was applied to explore and identify common themes and trends that would lead to the development of a PTTID framework. This framework will provide a holistic approach to technology implementation and a logical understanding of the drivers for technology adoption amongst in-service teachers.
Terminating Corticosteroid Injection in Tendinopathy? Hasta la Vista, Baby

Published: July 2023

SYNOPSIS: Two recent randomized-controlled trials showed promising results of local corticosteroid injections combined with exercise therapy for Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciopathy. Should clinicians go back to using corticosteroid injections to treat tendinopathy? Are corticosteroids back ( baby)? In this viewpoint we critically appraise the new evidence and humbly share our clinical reasoning when advising athletes about corticosteroid injections in practice. Our goal is to help clinicians decide what to do and what to recommend to patients. We prioritize the risk for higher recurrence rates and tendon rupture when weighing the reasonable treatment options for tendinopathy, and recommend against using corticosteroid injections. The best systematic review evidence shows that local corticosteroid injections are not effective for tendinopathies after the first few weeks, and produce worse long-term outcomes compared to other treatments. For now, we consider corticosteroid injections remain terminated. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(1):10-13. Epub 11 August 2023. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.11875
Sylvian fissure lipoma associated with fusiform aneurysm in the middle cerebral artery trifurcation: A case report and literature review
Authors: Karamon Karol Sylwester , Sobstyl Michał , Rylski Marcin , Wieczorek Katarzyna
Published: July 2023

Background:

The intracranial lipomas are rare congenital malformations accounting for approximately 0.1–1.3% of all intracranial tumors, of which Sylvian fissure lipomas account for <5%. These lesions are frequently associated with dysgenesis of neuronal brain tissues and vascular malformations and in the majority are asymptomatic. Intracranial lipomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may mimic late subacute hemorrhage due to similar radiological features. Due to the tight adhesion of the lipoma to the surrounding nerve structures and vessels, complete removal is difficult and does not guarantee the disappearance of symptoms.

Case Description:

We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with chronic headaches and short-term memory impairment who was admitted to the emergency room after an out-of-hospital brain MRI with suspected ruptured right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm and late subacute intracranial hemorrhage. In the hospital, after clinical evaluation, emergency computed tomography (CT) angiography was performed, which revealed an unruptured fusiform aneurysm located in the right MCA trifurcation surrounded by an extremely hypodense lesion corresponding to fat in the right Sylvian fissure. No features of intracranial hemorrhage were present. The diagnosis of intracranial lipoma was finally confirmed after the MRI of the brain with a fat suppression sequence. Surgical treatment was not attempted, and the patient was treated conservatively with a satisfactory general outcome.

Conclusion:

A Sylvian fissure lipoma may be associated with a fusiform aneurysm in the MCA trifurcation. By modifying the standard MRI protocol and performing a CT scan, an intracranial lipoma can be detected and a late subacute intracranial hemorrhage can be excluded.

Authors: Fan Yinhua , Zhao Bo
Published: July 2023

The rejected specimens from the Emergency Department of the Center of Clinical Laboratory from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023 were analyzed to reduce the specimen rejection rates and to improve the quality of inspection. The results showed that there were 1488 samples of rejected specimens and the non-conforming rate was 0.58%. The departments involved were mainly the Emergency Department, the Hematology Department, the Cardiology Department, the Intensive Care Department, and the Brain Surgery Department. Among the reasons for rejection, blood hemolysis accounted for 43.15%, blood coagulation accounted for 26.61%, and the rate of insufficient specimens was 17.14%. Among them, the sample rejection rate for arterial blood gas analysis was the highest, which accounted for 1.74%; followed by specimens for coagulation test, which was 1.18%. These results indicate the main reason for producing rejected specimens is mainly due to not following the standard operating procedure. Specimen rejection can largely be avoided if the standards for specimen collection are strictly followed.

Objective: To explore the effect of allocating case managers for gestational diabetes patients. Methods: 200 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus from December 2021 to December 2022 were included in this study, and the collection period. They were divided into groups according to the interventions received. Each patient in the observation group was managed by a case manager, while the control group were managed with conventional methods without the supervision of a case manager. There were 100 cases in each group, and the curative effects of the two groups were compared. Results: The fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The re-admission rate of patients due to poor blood sugar control in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The pregnancy outcome of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Case management of gestational diabetes can not only control the blood glucose of pregnant women, but also improve pregnancy outcomes.

EL USO DEL CONCEPTO “ZONA DE PAZ” EN AMÉRICA LATINA EN EL SIGLO XXI
Authors: Correa Vera Loreto
Published: July 2023

El estudio presentado a continuación tiene por objetivo revisar el uso y significado proporcionado por los distintos países de la región latinoamericana al concepto de “zona de paz”. El artículo realiza así un viaje a presidencias y discursos, reconociendo la diversidad, uso y lecturas sobre un concepto a todas luces controversial en materia de política exterior y de defensa internacional.

A través de literatura referencial, se plasma el dinamismo que ha caracterizado a lo largo del tiempo la utilización de este concepto y la ausencia de un consenso en su significado.

Este trabajo postula como hipótesis que los países de América Latina usan el concepto de zona de paz de forma difusa y diferenciada. Esta presentación demuestra que lo que los países han hecho desde los años 90 frente al concepto es utilizarlo en función de un multiuso, que invoca a veces a la política interna de los países y al descarte del conflicto interestatal, alejándose del maistream en este tema en materia de relaciones internacionales.

En esta investigación se utilizaron diversos artículos académicos correspondientes a distintas instituciones relacionadas con el estudio y análisis de fenómenos sociales y defensa nacional de distintos países. Se enfatizó la construcción del concepto en México, la región centroamericana, Colombia, Argentina y Chile, considerando la importancia que le brinda cada nación a la utilización y contextualización del concepto.

The physico-chemical properties and thermal stability in air of Cu(II) 2,3- , 3,5- and 2,6-dimethoxybenzoates were compared and the influence of the position of –OCH 3 substituent on their thermal stability was investigated. The complexes are crystalline, hydrated salts with blue colour. The carboxylate ion is a bidentate chelating or bridging group. The thermal stability of analysed Cu(II) dimethoxybenzoates was studied in the temperature range of 293-1173 K. The positions of methoxy-groups in benzene ring influence the thermal properties of studied complexes. Their different thermal properties are markedly connected with the various influence of inductive, mesomeric and steric effects of –OCH 3 substituent on the electron density in benzene ring. The magnetic susceptibilities ofthe complexes were measured over the range of 76-300 K and the magnetic moments were calculated. The results show that they form dimers.

Physico-chemical properties of 3-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) were synthesized and studied. The complexes were obtained as mono- and dihydrates with a metal ion to ligand ratio of 1 : 2. All analysed 3-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates are polycrystalline compounds with colours depending on the central ions: pink for Co(II), green for Ni(II) and blue for Cu(II) complexes. Their thermal decomposition was studied in the range of 293 – 523 K, because it was found that on heating in air above 523 K 3-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates decompose explosively. Hydrated complexes lose crystallization water molecules in one step and anhydrous compounds are formed. The final products of their decomposition are the oxides of the respective transition metals. From the results it appears that during dehydration process no transformation of nitro group to nitrite takes place. The solubilities of analysed complexes in water at 293 K are of the order of 10 -4 – 10 -2 mol / dm 3 .

A sensitive and alternative method for the spectrophotometric determination ofchromium(III) based on the formation of chromium(III)/azide complexes was established byinvestigating a new band in the ultraviolet region. The best experimental conditions for the analyticaldetermination of this metallic ion were: ligand and perchloric acid analytical concentration = 493 and12.0 mmol L -1 , respectively; aqueous medium; T = 25.0 oC; contact time = 1 hour. The maximummolar absorptivity coefficient occurred at 287 nm (average 1.481 ± 0.008 × 10 4 L mol -1 cm -1 ), leadingto the determination of metal ion concentrations one hundred times lower than the ones formerlydetermined in the visible region. The system obeys Beer’s Law and is suitable for chromiumdetermination in the 0.702-2.81 mg L -1 concentration range (15-65% T, 1.00 cm-width quartz cells).Analytical applications of the current method were tested with a nutritional supplement containingchromium. Results were compared with those obtained with atomic absorption spectrometry.

O biopolímero poli(3-hidroxibutirato) PHB, importante pelas suas propriedades de biodegradabilidade e biocompatibilidade, pode apresentar melhores características termoplásticas quando estruturalmente modificado com anidrido maleico (AM). Para avaliar a proporção de anidrido maleico presente nos filmes de PHB com a proporção no intervalo de 0 a 20% de AM para o PHB, foram otimizadas as condições experimentais e determinados os principais parâmetros de validação para a análise simultânea de derivados de PHB e AM, utilizando-se cromatografia em fase gasosa (GC). Os resultados demonstram que o procedimento analítico pode ser aplicado com confiabilidade.

Eletrodos de carbono vítreo foram modificados com filmes de poli ácido glutâmico (PAG) pela eletropolimerização do ácido glutâmico em tampão fosfato pH 7,0, utilizando-se varreduras sucessivas de potencial entre 0,8 a +2,0 V. Os eletrodos modificados foram aplicados na determinação de hidrazina, a qual é pré-concentrada na superfície através da interação entre grupos carboxílicos livres no filme e grupo amino da hidrazina. Embora a hidrazina não seja oxidada em intervalo útil de potencial sobre eletrodo convencional, no eletrodo modificado caracteriza-se pelo pico de oxidação em potencial de +0,57 V usado para fins analíticos. Gráfico de calibração linear foi obtido no intervalo de concentração entre 4 x 10-5 a 1 x 10-3 mol L-1, usando voltametria de pulso diferencial. O limite de detecção foi de 1,2 x 10-6 mol L-1. O método foi aplicado para a determinação de hidrazina em amostras coletadas de água de caldeira com recuperação de 94%.

The need to clean-up heavy metal contaminated environment can not be over emphasized.This paper describes the adsorption isotherm studies of Cd (II), Pb (II) and Zn (II) ions from aqueoussolution using unmodified and EDTA-modified maize cob. Maize cob was found to be an excellentadsorbent for the removal of these metal ions. The amount of metal ions adsorbed increased as the ini-tial concentration increased. Also, EDTA - modification enhanced the adsorption capacity of maize cobprobably due to the chelating ability of EDTA. Among the three adsorption isotherm tested, Dubinin-Radushkevich gave the best fit with R 2 value ranging from 0.9539 to 0.9973 and an average value of0.9819. This is followed by Freundlich isotherm (Ave. 0.9783) and then the Langmuir isotherm (Ave.0.7637). The sorption process was found to be a physiosorption process as seen from the apparent ener-gy of adsorption which ranged from 2.05KJ\mol to 4.56KJ\mol. Therefore, this study demonstrates thatmaize cob which is an environmental pollutant could be used to adsorb heavy metals and achievecleanliness thereby abating environmental nuisance caused by the maize cob.
