Multiscale Effects of Environmentally Relevant Mixtures Containing Two Estrogenic Endocrine Disruptors, Chlordecone and Propylparaben, in Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the chronic effects of chlordecone (CLD) and propylparaben (PP), two pro‐estrogenic endocrine disruptors, on Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766 using a multiscale approach over a 14‐day exposure period. Environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD (0.5, 5, 20 μg L−1) and PP (0.01, 0.05, 0.40 μg L−1) were tested individually ...

Pesticides and Hypospadias in Southern Brazil: An Ecological Study

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rio Grande do Sul ranks among the Brazilian states with the highest pesticide consumption and one of the highest prevalences of hypospadias, a congenital anomaly often associated with prenatal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals. We assessed the relationship between prenatal pesticide exposure and hypospadias risk through an ecological ...

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

Interacting climatic, environmental, biologic and socio‐economic drivers of the global dengue expansion

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Dengue is the most rapidly expanding mosquito‐borne viral disease worldwide. The worst year on record was 2024, with over 100 countries reporting 14.4 million cases and over 11,000 deaths. Since then, and up to August 2026, another 7.4 million cases and over 5000 deaths have been reported.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Reproduction and the Environment in Southeast Asia: A Scoping Review of Anthropogenic Environmental Change and Sexual and Reproductive Health

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While often neglected, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a significant dimension of the health implications of global anthropogenic environmental change, including climate change. However, literature on the topic is scarce and largely neglects low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and regions such as Southeast Asia.

Occurrence and risk assessment of organochlorine pesticide residues in tea and herbal products in Spain

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Organochlorine pesticides (OCP) are persistent pollutants well known for their ability to bioaccumulate. So, food contamination with these compounds is of concern for human health. The levels of nine OCP were determined in 60 samples of black tea and two

Glucocorticoids modulate drug transporter function in human fetal brain endothelial cells

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend P‐glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein are the most prominent drug transporters at the fetal blood–brain barrier. We isolated primary human fetal brain endothelial cells from early and mid‐gestation cerebral microvessels and exposed them to glucocorticoids cortisol and dexamethasone in vitro.
