Association between exposure to pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos at age 5 years and IQ at age 7 years among children from the Odense Child Cohort, a prospective birth cohort study.

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.

Analytical Validation of the Labcorp Plasma Complete Test, a Cell-free DNA Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Tool for Precision Oncology.

To help guide treatment decisions and clinical trial matching, tumor genomic profiling is an essential precision oncology tool. Liquid biopsy, a complementary approach to tissue testing, can assess tumor-specific DNA alterations circulating in the blood. Labcorp Plasma Complete is a next-generation sequencing, cell-free DNA comprehensive genomic profiling test that identifies clinically relevant somatic variants across 521 genes in advanced and metastatic solid cancers.

Incidence, characteristics, and comorbidities of a complete unselected Danish cohort of patients with thymic epithelial tumors.

Background And Purpose: We report the incidence, characteristics, and comorbidities of the complete unselected Danish cohort of patients with thymic epitheliums (TETs), which may serve as evidence for guiding treatment, surveillance, and counselling of TET patients.

Patients And Methods: All patients diagnosed with TETs from January 1st, 2015, to December 31st, 2020, were identified using the Danish Pathology Data Registry. Data on patient characteristics, comorbidities, and tumor histology were collected from electronic medical records available for all patients.

Umbilical outpouchings in pigs - an international survey on fitness for transport, welfare and management.

Background: Umbilical outpouchings (UOs) in pigs are a multifactorial disease and little is known about effective prevention strategies and risk factors for UO development. UOs are common in Danish pigs and legislation complicates and increases the cost of keeping and raising pigs with UO. Recommendations for preventive measures exist but the scientific evidence behind the recommendations is often lacking.

Common infections in children aged 6 months to 7 years after high prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances from contaminated drinking water in Ronneby, Sweden.

Background: Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are suggested to impair immune function in children. Previous studies investigating associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and common infections were performed in background-exposed populations whilst studies from high-exposed populations are lacking.

Objectives: To investigate the association between prenatal PFAS exposure from contaminated drinking water and common infections in children aged 6 months to 7 years in Ronneby, Sweden.
