Pesticides

01/01/2019 - "Combined with a smartphone and ImageJ software, we further developed an image-processing algorithm for the quantitative detection of AChE with highly promising results, which validated the outstanding potential of on-site application in clinical diagnostics and pesticide poisoning."
10/01/2017 - "National bans on highly hazardous pesticides, which are commonly ingested in acts of self-poisoning, seem to be effective in reducing pesticide-specific and overall suicide rates. "
02/01/1998 - "Improved agricultural extension services to promote alternative non-chemical methods of pest control is the most important strategy, in the long term, to prevent acute pesticide poisoning."
04/01/2012 - "[The observations of curative efficacy of rhubarb combined with blood purification on treatment patients with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning]."
11/01/2023 - "Researchers believe the distinction of OP/OC poisoning will be beneficial for the management of pesticide exposure. "

12/01/2007 - "The latter finding suggests a cancer-preventive effect for safety recommendations and improved technical devices with respect to pesticide application, along with legislative control measures to reduce pesticide exposure."
08/22/2023 - "More studies on individual-level demographic, environmental, tumor, and treatment characteristics (e.g., treatment differences, water quality, pesticide use) are needed to further characterize these findings."
12/01/2022 - "After reviewing several studies, we found that most studies revealed a significant relationship between pesticide exposure and an increased cancer incidence rate. "
12/01/2022 - "Three central databases were employed to find studies on pesticide exposure and cancer correlation published from 2017 to September 2022. "
12/01/2022 - "A systematic review of mechanistic studies on the relationship between pesticide exposure and cancer induction."

12/19/2016 - "Here, to support the development of bio-pesticide alternatives, a study was conducted to identify native Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates with improved toxicity against the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae (s.l.). "
06/30/2012 - "Historical data on Anopheles spp., malaria incidence, acreage of the single or double season cropping of rice and on the quantity of chemical pesticide used in rice fields were collected from the study areas. "
01/01/2023 - "Long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) are a key measure for preventing malaria and their evaluation is coordinated by the World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES). "
09/30/2022 - "Four themes were investigated: pesticide awareness, practices, and opinions of; insecticide resistance in malaria vectors; the effectiveness of current malaria prevention tools; and the links between agricultural and public health pesticide usage. "
09/30/2022 - "Insecticide resistance is a key barrier to long-term malaria control, and it may be exacerbated by poor agricultural pesticide use. "

09/15/2021 - "The epidemiological evidence, supported by mechanistic studies, suggests that pesticide exposure, mainly during pregnancy, increases the risk of childhood leukemia, particularly among infants. "
01/01/2019 - "A statistically significant association between residential pesticide exposure and childhood leukemia was observed by combining all studies (SOR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.27-1.95) without evidence of publication bias. "
12/01/2015 - "Although some recall bias is likely, until a better study design can be found to investigate the associations between home pesticide use and childhood leukemia in an equally large sample, it would appear prudent to limit the use of home pesticides before and during pregnancy, and during childhood. "
12/01/2015 - "Some previous studies have suggested that home pesticide exposure before birth and during a child's early years may increase the risk of childhood leukemia. "
02/01/2013 - "During a home interview of 500 residentially stable households enrolled in the Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study during 2001-2006, trained interviewers inventoried residential pesticide products and queried participants about their storage and use. "

03/01/2021 - "In this study we assessed (i) whether variations in pesticide exposure could differentially impact energy reserves, body weight and morphometric parameters of F. "
07/01/2014 - "Studies suggest that organic food consumption may significantly reduce OP pesticide exposure in children who have relatively higher pesticide exposure than adults due to their different diets, body weight, behaviour and less efficient metabolism. "
11/23/2023 - "To assess mixture effects, we summed per food item the ratios of each single pesticide mean residue concentration divided by its acceptable daily intake to create for each participant a Dietary Pesticide Hazard Index (adjusted for energy intake and expressed per kilogram of body weight). "
01/12/2022 - "According to the Monte Carlo simulation, the hazard quotient and estimated daily intake values were more affected by the consumption rate, pesticide concentration, and body weight. "
01/01/2021 - "This systematic review reveals that the effects of pesticide exposure on body weight are mostly inconclusive, finding conflicting results in both humans and experimental animals. "
