Low Environmental Contamination by Lead in Pregnant Women: Effect on Calcium Transfer in Human Placental Syncytiotrophoblasts
TL;DR: Although maternal and cordBlood Pb levels were low, maternal blood Pb concentration was significantly linked to a decrease in Ca2 + uptake by syncytiotrophoblast, which suggests that exposure to very levels of Pb significantly modifies Ca 2 + transfer in syncyTiotrophoblasts.
Journal Article
Color vision loss among styrene-exposed workers neurotoxicological threshold assessment.
TL;DR: The results of this study support the need of a reduction of the occupational limits for styrene in workplaces to values close to or lower than German, Finnish or Swedish exposure limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood manganese content at birth and cord serum prolactin levels.
TL;DR: It is suggested that Mn accumulation in utero could contribute to PRL level variation in neonates, which, in turn, may influence important developmental parameters.
Journal Article
Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches in occupational health for a better understanding of the impact of work-related disorders
TL;DR: Combining qualitative and quantitative methods in a complementary fashion can lead to a better understanding of the rapidly changing work environment and labor situation and a means for developing appropriate strategies for preventive intervention.
Journal Article
Surveillance of early neurotoxic dysfunction.
TL;DR: It is suggested that group surveillance of early nervous system changes for jobs with exposure to neurotoxins, using a sensitive neurofunctional test battery, may be useful for preventive intervention.
