Methods for the dietary assessment of adult kidney stone formers: a scoping review.

Background: Kidney stones are a frequent and potentially severe condition, affecting 5-10% of the European population. Causes are multifactorial, diet in particular plays a major role in the formation and management of kidney stones. The aim of this scoping review is to assess the methods used to study the diet of adult kidney stone formers.

Concentrations of Seven Phthalate Monoesters in Infants and Toddlers Quantified in Urine Extracted from Diapers.

Carrying out exposure studies on children who are not toilet trained is challenging because of the difficulty of urine sampling. In this study, we optimized a protocol for urine collection from disposable diapers for the analysis of phthalate metabolites. The exposure of Swiss children ( = 113) between 6 months and 3 years of life to seven phthalates was assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements.

Exposure to New Emerging Bisphenols Among Young Children in Switzerland.

Restrictions on the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in consumer products led to its replacement by various bisphenol (BP) analogues, yet young children's exposure to these analogues has been poorly characterized so far. This study aimed to characterize infants' and toddlers' exposure to BPA and 14 emerging BP analogues (i.e.
