Background: Over the past decade, the use of organophosphate insecticides including chlorpyrifos has faced increasing restrictions due to health concerns, leading to a rise in use of pyrethroids. Concerns about neurodevelopmental insults following pyrethroids exposure exist, but few studies have examined the long-term effects of childhood exposure to chlorpyrifos and pyrethroids on IQ.
Objective: To investigate the prospective associations between pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos exposure at age 5 years and IQ scores assessed at age 7.
is a commercially important tree native to Japan. The tree belongs to the ancient genus and has found important uses as a medicinal plant, as well as a main source of timber in Japan. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in discovering extended uses of as a source of novel bioactive natural products with potential applications as lead compounds for active principles of future drugs.

Ex vivo precision cut - liver slices (PCLS) from six male juvenile Atlantic cod were exposed to four concentrations of mono-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (MEHP, the main metabolite of DEHP), BPA and BT both singly and in mixtures ranging from 0.

- The study investigates neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function in patients with Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) disease and explores the potential for improving muscle strength through ClC-1 channel inhibition.
- Results showed significant NMJ abnormalities in CMT patients, such as increased jitter and blocking, which correlated with weaker muscle performance and endurance.
- Preclinical experiments indicated that a new drug, NMD670, improved muscle strength and endurance in CMT mice, suggesting that targeting NMJ dysfunction might offer a new therapeutic approach for CMT patients.
Background And Objectives: Previous studies on incident myasthenia gravis (MG) have shown inconsistent results. In this study, we determined the MG incidence rates (IRs) over a 36-year period to detect potential trends in MG incidence over time and for different age groups.
Methods: In this nationwide population-based study from 1985 to 2021, we identified patients aged 18 and older with a primary MG diagnosis in the Danish National Patient Registry.
