Developing Chemical Signatures for Categories of Household Consumer Products Using Suspect Screening Analysis.

Consumer products are a major source of chemicals that may pose a health risk. It is important to understand what chemicals are in these products to evaluate risk and assess new products for uncommon ingredients. Suspect screening analysis (SSA) using two-dimensional gas chromatography-high-resolution-time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (GCxGC-HR-TOF/MS) was applied to 92 consumer products from 5 categories.

Discerning Emittable from Extractable Chemicals Identified in Consumer Products by Suspect Screening GCxGC-TOFMS.

Characterization of chemicals in household products is important for understanding this potential source of chemical exposure. Increasingly, suspect screening and nontargeted analysis techniques are used to characterize as many chemical signatures as possible. Solids such as household products are most conveniently prepared using solvent extraction, revealing what chemicals are contained within the product matrix but providing no information about the potential of those chemicals to leave the matrix and cause actual exposure.

Skin health of urban-living Aboriginal children attending a primary care Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation clinic.

Background And Objectives: Despite increasing urbanisation, little is known about skin health for urban-living Aboriginal children and young people (CYP, aged <18 years). This study aimed to investigate the primary care burden and clinical characteristics of skin conditions in this cohort.

Method: A one-year retrospective cohort study of urban-living Aboriginal CYP presenting for general practitioner (GP) consultation at an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) was conducted.

Nonmalignant Dermatologic Disorders in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with extraintestinal manifestations that can affect multiple body systems. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMSs) are seen in up to 50% of patients with IBD. Skin involvement is particularly common occurring in up to 15%-20% of patients.

A Deixis-Centered Approach for Documenting Remote Synchronous Communication around Data Visualizations.

Referential gestures, or as termed in linguistics, deixis, are an essential part of communication around data visualizations. Despite their importance, such gestures are often overlooked when documenting data analysis meetings. Transcripts, for instance, fail to capture gestures, and video recordings may not adequately capture or emphasize them.
