Abstract:
... This meta-analysis aimed to clarify the relationship between particulate matter (PM) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in detail. A systematic literature search was performed using eight databases before April 9, 2022. The estimated effects were combined separately according to the PM type. Subgroup analyses were conducted in terms of the study design type, study location, exposure window, birth ...

Abstract:
... Phthalates and their replacements are endocrine/metabolic disruptors that may impact gestational weight gain (GWG) – a pregnancy health indicator. We investigated overall and fetal sex-specific associations of individual and cumulative phthalate/replacement biomarkers with GWG. Illinois women (n = 299) self-reported their weight pre-pregnancy and at their final obstetric appointment before deliver ...

Abstract:
... Many per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFASs) may disrupt maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in pregnancy. Concerns should be raised regarding the PFASs exposure in pregnant women because thyroid hormones are involved in the early development of the fetus. In this study, we measured the concentrations of 13 PFASs, including five novel short-chain PFASs, in serum from 123 pregnant women in Beij ...

Abstract:
... Human milk has an important role in infants' psychological and immunological development. In addition to providing vital substances, some environmental contaminants, such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs), can be transmitted by human breast milk to infants. However, some studies monitored PTEs concentration in human breast milk; no metanalysis was conducted to estimate the concentration of PTEs ...

Abstract:
... Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is ubiquitous and moderately persistent in the environment, and it is an identified human carcinogen. Previous animal experiments indicate that toxic mechanisms of PCP include oxidative stress. However, no epidemiological study has reported the association between PCP exposure and oxidative stress; such association in pregnant women, a vulnerable population, is of particula ...

Abstract:
... In cattle, early detection of gestation is very important from an economic and management point of view in all types of farming. However, due to the poor efficiency of oestrous detection, it is essential to determine non‐pregnant cows as early as possible, in order to minimize the inter‐insemination interval, thus de facto, reducing herd open days. Direct and indirect gestation diagnostic methods ...

Here we revise circumstances of non-infectious causes in which the uterus may be associated with pregnancy loss during the late embryo/early fetal period (following a positive pregnancy diagnosis in lactating dairy cows). As the uterine size increases with parity and pregnant heifers with no detrimental effects of a previous parturition, a primigravid uterus is proposed as a reference for identify ...

The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of estradiol benzoate (EB) and 17β-estradiol (E2) associated with progesterone (P4) in a fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) protocol. We hypothesized that E2+P4 induces an earlier emergence of a new follicular wave (NFW), improving pre-ovulatory follicle diameter and pregnancy rates to FTAI (P/FTAI). In Exp.1, on Day 0 (D0), all Bos ...

Abstract:
... Pregnancy rates of Holstein cows showed a substantial decline in the past years, which caused intensive TAI programs for nonpregnant cows to shorten the period between unsuccessful insemination and the next attempt on the same cow. Although many studies examined the improvement in pregnancy rates following TAI, only a few examined the economic impact of such programs. In this study, we look at the ...
