Abstract In marine ecosystems, living organisms are continuously exposed to a cocktail of anthropogenic contaminants, such as microplastics (MPs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Being able adsorb organic compounds, MPs would act an additional contamination vector for aquatic organisms. To support this hypothesis, the sorption six EDCs on MPs, including 4- t -butylphenol, -octylphenol...

Baby formulas are foods designed and marketed for feeding babies. The use of baby is increasing worldwide due to various reasons. In parallel, there concern about endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in formulas. EDCs cover a large class able interact with the system. can disrupt many different hormones, so they linked numerous adverse outcomes human health. Babies more sensitive environmental...

Environmental pollutants like endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), unhealthy lifestyle and genetic predisposition have a major impact on the gut microbiota leading to dysbiosis, thus causing chronic diseases. This narrative review highlights of three most common EDCs, bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates triclosan in terms increase opportunistic pathogens, alterations host metabolic profiles immune ...

Background: Dystocia occurs more commonly in some breeds of dogs than others. The Boxer breed is one of the highrisk breeds for whelping problems. The aim of this study was to document some reproductive parameters and the frequency of dystocia in Boxers. Methods: Two questionnaires were sent to the breeders of Boxers in Sweden during 1994 to 1997. Data from 253 whelpings and 1671 pups was recei...

The government of Ethiopia (GOE) has been working to enhance the capacity Ethiopian domestic contractors (EDCs) over past three decades. This enabled development several private a...

The concentrations of seventeen endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) that included oestrogens, phytoestrogens, sitosterol, and banned industrial pollutants were investigated at ten sites the Douro River estuary. Surface waters collected during 2019. After evaluating physicochemical data (ammonia, nitrates, nitrites phosphates), filtrated submitted to solid-phase extraction (SPE) extract pre-con...

in order to improve the quality of education in universities of medical sciences (ums), and because of the key role of education development centers (edcs), an accreditation scheme was developed to evaluate their performance.a group of experts in the medical education field was selected based on pre-defined criteria by edc of ministry of health and medical education. the team, worked intensivel...

During embryonic development, organisms are sensitive to changes in thyroid hormone signaling which can reset the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. It has been hypothesized that this developmental programming is a 'predictive adaptive response', a physiological adjustment in accordance with the embryonic environment that will best aid an individual's survival in a similar postnatal environme...

BACKGROUND Although infants and young children are particularly vulnerable to endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure, there is an absence of comprehensive exposure data for this age group. As young children spend the majority of their time indoors, improved methods of exposure assessment are needed to characterise the health risks from exposures in the home environment. Biologic assessmen...
