Prostate cancer incidence and outcomes among Vietnam veterans receiving care in the Veterans Health Administration. [PDF]
CancerAbstract Background Agent Orange exposure (AOE) is considered a presumptive cause of prostate cancer (PCa) in the Veterans Affairs (VA) population; however, cohort studies reported inconsistent associations of AOE and PCa incidence and outcomes. In this nationwide cohort study, Vietnam veterans who received VA care were evaluated for associations of ...

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 879-912, 1 March 2023., 2023 Abstract Knowledge of the role in cancer etiology of environmental exposures as pesticides is a prerequisite for primary prevention. We review 63 epidemiological studies on exposure to pesticides and cancer risk in humans published from 2017 to 2021, with emphasis on new findings, methodological approaches, and gaps in the existing literature.

A Guideline Value for Dioxin‐Like Compounds in Marine Sediments
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 257-271, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Sediments to be dredged as part of the installation of a harbor crossing in Sydney, Australia, contained measurable concentrations of dioxin‐like compounds. To assess the suitability of these sediments for ocean disposal, a defensible sediment quality guideline value (SQGV) for dioxin‐like compounds, expressed as pg toxic equivalent (TEQ)fish ...

Birth Defects Research, Volume 114, Issue 14, Page 812-842, August 15, 2022., 2022 Abstract Background In silico methods for toxicity prediction have increased significantly in recent years due to the 3Rs principle. This also applies to predicting reproductive toxicology, which is one of the most critical factors in pesticide approval.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Enantioenriched (R)‐ and (S)‐Aryloxyalkanoic Herbicides
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 25, July 7, 2022., 2022 A versatile and sustainable approach to one of the most commonly employed families of herbicides has been developed, which is based on a biocatalytic reductive dehalogenation followed by simple chemical manipulations. A range of commercially relevant target molecules have been obtained in good yield and moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (to ...

Applications of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy in environmental detection
Analytical Science Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3-4, Page 113-145, April 2022., 2022 Abstract As the human population grows, the anthropogenic impacts from various agricultural and industrial processes produce unwanted contaminants in the environment. The accurate, sensitive and rapid detection of such contaminants is vital for human health and safety.

Impact of the Aversive Effects of Drugs on Their Use and Abuse
Behavioural Neurology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Drug use and abuse are complex issues in that the basis of each may involve different determinants and consequences, and the transition from one to the other may be equally multifaceted. A recent model of the addiction cycle (as proposed by Koob and his colleagues) illustrates how drug‐taking patterns transition from impulsive (acute use) to compulsive

Fine root production in a chronosequence of mature reforested mangroves
New Phytologist, Volume 232, Issue 4, Page 1591-1602, November 2021., 2021 Summary Mangroves are among the world’s most carbon‐dense ecosystems, but have suffered extensive deforestation, prompting reforestation projects. The effects of mangrove reforestation on belowground carbon dynamics are poorly understood. In particular, we do not know how fine root production develops following mangrove reforestation, despite fine root

New Phytologist, Volume 230, Issue 2, Page 535-549, April 2021., 2021 Summary In a world that will rely increasingly on efficient plant growth for sufficient food, it is important to learn about natural mechanisms of phytohormone action. In this work, the introduction of a fluorophore to an auxin molecule represents a sensitive and non‐invasive method to directly visualise auxin localisation with high spatiotemporal ...
