LEARN: A multi-centre, cross-sectional evaluation of Urology teaching in UK medical schools.

Objective: To evaluate the status of UK undergraduate urology teaching against the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Undergraduate Syllabus for Urology. Secondary objectives included evaluating the type and quantity of teaching provided, the reported performance rate of General Medical Council (GMC)-mandated urological procedures, and the proportion of undergraduates considering urology as a career.

Materials And Methods: LEARN was a national multicentre cross-sectional study.

RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment, 1-heptanethiol, CAS Registry Number 1639-09-4.

1-Heptanethiol was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog 1-octanethiol (CAS # 111-88-6) show that 1-heptanethiol is not expected to be genotoxic and provide a calculated MOE >100 for the reproductive toxicity endpoint. Data on read-across analog dodecanethiol (CAS # 112-55-0) provide a calculated MOE >100 for the repeated dose toxicity endpoint.
