Vaccinations in pregnancy: An update for a changing time

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal immunization is one of the most effective public health interventions to reduce infectious morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns. Despite robust evidence supporting vaccine safety and effectiveness in pregnancy, global uptake has declined following the COVID‐19 pandemic, contributing to resurgent outbreaks ...

Chlorfenapyr Induces Hepatotoxicity Associated With Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Involving Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by

Comparison of the efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets PermaNet® 2.0 and Olyset® against Anopheles albimanus under laboratory conditions

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
Insecticide-treated nets provide a reduction in human-vector contact through physical barrier, mortality and/or repellent effects that protect both users and non-users, thereby protecting the wider community from vector-borne diseases like malaria.

Exposure–Recovery Approach for Hepatic Toxicity Analysis of Pyrethroid Lambda‐Cyhalothrin: Histopathological, Histochemical, and Biochemical Responses in Oreochromis niloticus

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lambda‐cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used in agriculture, but its potential to contaminate aquatic ecosystems and exert high toxicity on fish at low concentrations raises ecotoxicological concerns. While standard histopathological and biochemical assessments are common, the novel integration of pigment‐based ...
