A harmonized occupational biomonitoring approach [PDF]

Environment International
Biomonitoring has been widely used in assessing exposures in both occupational and public health complementing chemical risk assessments because it measures the concentrations of chemical substances in human body fluids (e.g., urine and blood ...

Biomonitoring in the Era of the Exposome [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2017
The term "exposome" was coined in 2005 to underscore the importance of the environment to human health and to bring research efforts in line with those on the human genome. The ability to characterize environmental exposures through biomonitoring is key to exposome research efforts.Our objectives were to describe why traditional and nontraditional ...

Participant experiences in a breastmilk biomonitoring study: A qualitative assessment

Environmental Health, 2009
Background Biomonitoring studies can provide information about individual and population-wide exposure. However they must be designed in a way that protects the rights and welfare of participants.

Biomonitoring with Wireless Communications [PDF]

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2003
▪ Abstract  Wireless biomonitoring, first used in human beings for fetal heart-rate monitoring more than 30 years ago, has now become a technology for remote sensing of patients' activity, blood pulse pressure, oxygen saturation, internal pressures, orthopedic device loading, and gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Curbing the trade in pangolin scales in China by revealing the characteristics of the illegal trade network

Scientific Reports
Globally, pangolins are the most heavily trafficked mammals and China is one of the main destinations for their scales and meat. Conducting separate studies on the characteristics of the illegal trade in pangolin meat and in scales in China will provide ...

High temperature induces reproductive dysfunction in male zebrafish via DNA methylation-mediated tssk6 downregulation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
High temperature (HT) poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying HT-induced reproductive impairment in fish remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that both short-term (< 21 days) and long-term (> 120

Assessing the utility of Hsp90 gene for inferring evolutionary relationships within the ciliate subclass Hypotricha (Protista, Ciliophora)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Although phylogenomic analyses are increasingly used to reveal evolutionary relationships among ciliates, relatively few nuclear protein-coding gene markers have been tested for their suitability as candidates for inferring phylogenies within ...

Chinese provincial-level new records for 96 resident bird species reveal poleward range shifts

Avian Research
Anthropogenic climate change is altering species distributions globally. While species distributions are expected to shift to higher latitudes and elevations under global warming, empirical evidence on distribution shifts is mixed, and factors mediating ...
