Maninjau lake is the largest center for the freshwater floating-net-cage fisheries system in West Sumatra. Every year, during the up-welling season, a huge number of fish suffered to death in the lake including nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a common species cultivated in the floating-net cages. This current study aimed to determine the factors contributing to the death of fish by measuring the concentration of toxic chemical substances in the blood plasm of nile tilapia as well as in the subtrate collected from the bottom of the lake. The samples were collected in the sites with higher number of floating-net cages as well as higher number of mass death of fish (Tanjung Sani, Pakan Raba’a dan Maninjau) during the up-welling season. The result revealed that the levels of phosphate, nitrate, nitrit, and amonium were higher in the blood plasm of the fish. Moreover, the levels of those chemical substances were also higher in the substrate of the lake. The higher concentration of the toxic chemical substances might contribute to the mass death of fish living in the floating-net cages during the up-welling season.

Chemometrics in Medicine and PharmacyThis minireview summarizes the basic ways of application of chemometrics in medicine and pharmacy. It brings a collection of applications of chemometric used for the solution of diverse practical problems, e.g. exploitation of biologically active species, effective use of biomarkers, advancement of clinical diagnosis, monitoring of the patient's state and prediction of its perspectives, drug design or classification of toxic chemical substances. The aim of this contribution is a brief presentation of versatile potentialities of contemporary chemometrical techniques and relevant software. They are exemplified by typical cases from literature as well as by own research results of the Chemometrics group at Department of Chemistry, the University of Ss. Cyril & Methodius in Trnava.

Angiosarcomas represent 1–2% of soft tissue sarcomas and most frequently occur in the subcutis. They may affect internal organs, such as the heart, liver, and spleen, and only rarely do they emerge in the gastrointestinal tract. The association between angiosarcomas and certain toxic chemical substances or previous external-beam radiation therapy is well documented.
