1.	Inflammation 11/01/2014 - "The aim of the study was to evaluate the concentration of trace elements in nails of adolescents with different degrees of airway inflammation. " 03/01/2010 - "So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential associations between nail trace elements and several indicators in healthy young adults, emphasizing on the putative effect of antioxidant trace element intake on inflammation-related marker concentrations. " 11/01/2014 - "Trace elements concentration in nails and association with airway inflammation in adolescents." 01/01/2014 - "Systemic low-grade inflammation may contribute to elevated serum Cu and decreased serum Zn concentrations in the elderly, and may represent an important confounder of the relationship between the serum trace elements and mortality in this population. " 05/01/2013 - "The trace elements present in ZnNiCo are able to modulate the expression level of several inflammation related transcripts in adipocytes. "
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 01/01/1997 - "The study was first undertaken to examine the levels of trace elements in the resected portions of the lungs from 33 patients and 8 healthy individuals who had died from injuries, by using the quantitative spectral analysis. " 07/01/1991 - "In the present study, fluctuations of trace elements Mg, Ca and Zn concentrations with time on skin-induced injuries was investigated. " 04/01/2015 - "The results indicated that all patients presented an acute trace elements deficiency syndrome (ATEDs) after severe trauma, and the correlation between ISS and serum levels of Fe, Zn, and Mg was significant. " 04/01/2015 - "Multi-trace elements for patients in the trauma-TE groups were used. " 01/01/2007 - "Alterations of trace elements (Zn, Se, Cu, Fe) and related metalloenzymes in rabbit blood after severe trauma."

" 10/01/2003 - "Risk assessment of essential trace elements examines high intakes resulting in toxicity and low intakes resulting in nutritional deficiencies. " 10/01/2001 - "In this review, the interactions between these two trace elements in humans and animals are discussed on the basis of the available literature and our own results, against the background of general population exposure to Cd and common nutritional deficiency of Zn."

Critical Illness (Critically Ill) 04/01/2009 - "The transmembrane clearance of trace elements was assessed prospectively in five critically ill children receiving CVVHDF at the pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital. " 06/01/2015 - "Trace elements (TE) are involved in the immune and antioxidant defences which are of particular importance during critical illness. " 01/01/2013 - "Trace elements are important nutrients for the critically ill patient. " 01/01/2013 - "Trace elements in critically ill patients." 08/01/2011 - "A depletion of antioxidative trace elements has been observed in critically ill patients and is associated with the development of multiorgan dysfunction and an increased mortality.
