Assessment of Endocrine Disruptor Exposure in Hospital Professionals Using Hair and Urine Analyses: An Awareness Campaign.

Background: In 2021, French public authorities initiated the fourth National Environmental Health Plan to prevent environment-related health risks. This plan primarily focuses on the sensitization of health professionals and health care institutions. Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are environmental factors associated with several adverse health effects, such as reproductive disorders, obesity, and cancer.

Assessment of the impact of pharmacist-led intervention with antibiotics in patients with bone and joint infection.

Objectives: The management of patients with bone and joint infections (BJIs) is complex. To improve this care, we carried out pharmaceutical actions in the orthopedic unit, including pharmacist-led-intervention (PLI) for patients requiring prolonged antibiotics. Few data exist regarding patient compliance, adherence and knowledge in cases of BJI.

Analytical method for the biomonitoring of bisphenols and parabens by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry in human hair.

Bisphenols and parabens are endocrine disruptors families widely used in daily life. They are known to be linked to numerous pathologies such as reproductive disorders, obesity, breast cancer, hypertension and asthma. Biomonitoring is an essential tool for assessing population exposure to environmental pollutants.

Accuracy of Dose Administered to Children Using Off-Labelled or Unlicensed Oral Dosage Forms.

The pediatric population suffers from a lack of age-appropriate medicines leading to unsafe situations when off-labelled or unlicensed drugs are used. Assessing the best option to administrate medicines when manipulations are required is essential in order to improve child care. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of the administered dose provided by three dosage forms and their techniques of administration.
