TL;DR: This work-site based study among welders demonstrates a high prevalence of parkinsonism compared to nonwelding-exposed workers and a clinical phenotype that overlaps substantially with PD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the occurrence, stage and health of pregnancy from genotyped killer whale feces collected using detection dogs, and measured thyroid and glucocorticoid hormone metabolites from these same samples to assess physiological stress.

TL;DR: Risk was not significantly affected by farming work, by metal work, or by exposure to pesticides, metals, or solvents, and the hypothesis that workplace factors affect the risk of PD was not supported.

TL;DR: It would be premature to recommend endotoxin as a cancer-chemopreventive agent, but further epidemiologic and experimental investigations that can clarify further dose–effect and exposure–timing relations could have substantial public health and basic biomedical benefits.

TL;DR: High-throughput DNA sequencing is used to quantitatively estimate the diet composition of an endangered population of wild killer whales in their summer range in the Salish Sea, and confirms the importance of Chinook salmon in this population’s summer diet.
