1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 03/01/2015 - "Based on studies on experimental animals, the toxicological endpoints of exposure to PBDEs are likely to be thyroid homeostasis disruption, neurodevelopmental deficits, reproductive changes, and even cancer. " 04/01/2013 - "Based on the studies on experimental animals, the toxicological endpoints of exposure to PBDEs are likely to be thyroid homeostasis disruption, neuro-developmental deficits, reproductive ineffectiveness and even cancer. " 01/01/2007 - "Research studies suggest also that the exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers may be associated with increased risk of cancers. " 03/01/2005 - "Although no human health studies have been conducted on PBDEs, they are of concern because in vivo and in vitro animal studies show nervous system, reproductive, developmental, and endocrine effects, as well as cancer in high-dose studies." 03/01/2015 - "The risks caused by polybrominated diphenyl ethers for cancer and non-cancer effects were negligible. "
2.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 01/01/2011 - "The dietary PBDEs intake of the local residents from chicken muscle and egg, assuming only local bred chickens and eggs were consumed, ranged from 2.2 to 22.5 ng/(day x kg body weight (bw)) with a mean value of 13.5 ng/(day x kg bw), which was one order of magnitude higher than the value reported in previous studies for consumption of all foodstuffs." 06/01/2014 - "The average estimated daily intake of the sum of PBDEs (upper bound scenario; probabilistic approach) for adults and children were 0.137 ngkg(-1) body weight (b.w.) day and 0.180 ngkgb.w.(-1)d(-1), respectively. " 01/15/2013 - "Estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of PBDEs through seafood consumption and dust ingestion for adults (>20 years) and toddlers (<2 years) were 1.83 and 11.4 ng/kg body weight/day, respectively. " 01/01/2013 - "The mean and 95th percentile of dietary PBDEs exposures of the Hong Kong people were 1.34 and 2.90 ng kg(-1) body weight day(-1), respectively. " 03/01/2012 - "The mean estimated daily intake of PBDEs by breast-fed infants ranged from 9.9 to 335.9 ng kg(-1) body weight (bw) per day (mean: 52.5 ng kg(-1) bw per day; median: 28.6 ng kg(-1) bw per day).

3.	Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) 01/01/2014 - "PBDEs were the predominant HFRs in bird eggs, followed by DBDPE and DP. " 09/01/2013 - "The production and use of DBDPE is growing rapidly and comparable concentrations between PBDEs and DBDPE in YRD sediment may suggest that DBDPE will likely become one of the major HFRs emerging in the environment in China. " 09/15/2012 - "PBDEs were the predominant HFR in those eggs, with contributions >50% to the total HFRs; followed by PBBs and the AHFRs (contributing 14-22% in average). " 01/15/2011 - "PBDEs were found to be the predominant HFRs, followed by DP, PBT, PBEB, and BTBPE. " 07/26/2013 - "This study presents the development and validation of a new analytical method for the simultaneous determination of fifteen analytes classified as halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) - nine brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) and six novel HFRs - in different kinds of mollusks using matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) followed by gas chromatography coupled to negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS).

Hyperthyroidism 11/01/2014 - "PBDEs and feline hyperthyroidism." 07/01/2012 - "Decabromobiphenyl, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and brominated phenolic compounds in serum of cats diagnosed with the endocrine disease feline hyperthyroidism." 02/01/2012 - "The authors found no evidence that linked levels of PBDEs, PCBs, or OCPs with hyperthyroidism. " 04/01/2011 - "These changes may have clinical implications as others have shown associations between human exposure to PBDEs and subclinical hyperthyroidism, and overexpression of ovarian osteopontin has been associated with ovarian cancer." 02/01/2012 - "As a follow-up to a recent study showing high PBDE levels in household cats and linking PBDE levels with cat hyperthyroidism, we measured PBDEs, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) in serum samples from 26 California household cats (16 hyperthyroid, 10 controls) using liquid-liquid extraction and high-resolution gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry. "
5.	Birth Weight (Birth Weights) 11/01/2015 - "This study aimed to examine the potential association between maternal PBDEs and birth outcomes, including birth weight (g), length (cm), head circumference (cm) and gestational age (week). " 10/15/2011 - "This study examined whether concentrations of PBDEs in maternal serum during pregnancy were associated with infant birth weight, length, head circumference, and length of gestation. " 03/01/2012 - "Re: "Association of prenatal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers and infant birth weight"." 10/15/2011 - "Association of prenatal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers and infant birth weight." 02/01/2007 - "In utero exposure to low doses of PBDEs may result in lower birth weight and short or birth length.
