Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Assessing the human health risks of perfluorooctane sulfonate by in vivo and in vitro studies
The wide use of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has led to increasing concern about its human health risks over the past decade. In vivo and in vitro studies are important and effective means to ascertain the toxic effects of PFOS on humans and its ...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate concentrations in amniotic fluid, biomarkers of fetal Leydig cell function, and cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Danish boys (1980–1996) [PDF]
Background: Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) may potentially disturb fetal Leydig cell hormone production and male genital development. Objectives: We aimed to study the associations between levels of amniotic fluid PFOS, fetal steroid ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Minimization of Temperature Effects of High-Birefringent Elliptical Fibers for Polarmetric Optical-Fiber Sensors [PDF]
The temperature dependence of polarization-maintaining fibers is a problem in polarimetric optical-fiber sensors. We report a novel method for making a temperature-insensitive, polarization-maintaining fiber, which may be used for the sensing part in a ...

Half-lives of PFOS, PFHxS and PFOA after end of exposure to contaminated drinking water. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Municipal drinking water contaminated with perfluorinated alkyl acids had been distributed to one-third of households in Ronneby, Sweden. The source was firefighting foam used in a nearby airfield since the mid-1980s. Clean water was provided

ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.
