Article Synopsis
- Emerging research indicates that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in personal care products can negatively impact health, particularly for Black individuals who use more products and have high asthma rates.
- This study investigates the link between EDC exposure and product usage in 110 Black children with asthma, aged 8-17, in Baltimore City, examining their recent consumer habits and urine concentrations of specific EDCs.
- Results show that using air fresheners, scented candles, and canned foods is associated with higher levels of certain EDCs, highlighting a potential risk factor for these children’s health.
Old breeds, new solutions? Effects of two different traditional sire breeds on skin lesions, tail lesions, tail losses, performance and behaviour of rearing pigs.

Department of Animal Sciences, Livestock Systems, Georg-August-University, Albrecht-Thaer-Weg 3, 37075 Göttingen, Germany.
Some studies indicated a relationship between modern, fast-growing, lean-meat-producing hybrid pigs and the occurrence of tail-biting, one of the major issues of conventional pig husbandry. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of different local, traditional sire breeds on the behaviour and performance of rearing pigs. Between December 2019 and November 2020, a total of 1 561 piglets were weaned from hybrid sows (Bundes Hybrid Zucht Programm (BHZP) Landrace × BHZP Large White) that were paired with either Swabian-Hall (SH), Bentheim Black Pied (BB) or BHZP-Piétrain (Pi) boars.

In this study, it was aimed to determine of the shelter conditions and welfare levels of Anatolian Black cattle grown in two different regions of Turkey. Accordingly, welfare assessment was made at the farm level according to the Animal Needs Index (ANI 35L/2000) method, a total of 76 in Ankara and Antalya provinces. The material of the research was composed of Anatolian Black cattle farms within the scope of the Project on Conservation of Domestic Genetic Resources.

The present study aimed to assess the in-vitro toxicity of a popular azodye, Eriochrome Black T (EBT) which may be an environmental hazard causing water pollution if released by textile industries as waste effluents to nearby water ponds. We explored the toxic potential of EBT at 200, 400 and 800 μg/ml concentrations, which were selected based on quantification of EBT present in the pond water near carpet industries. We investigated the permeability of EBT across the organ barriers and found it to be 6.

Article Synopsis
- - Black hairy tongue (BHT) is a rare, harmless condition characterized by a black, hairy appearance on the tongue and occurs in 0.6% to 11.3% of the population; its exact cause is not well understood.
- - A case report details a 69-year-old woman whose BHT developed after taking moxifloxacin during treatment for an infection linked to Mycobacterium chelonae, following a series of other antibiotics.
- - Improvement in her condition was noted just two days after discontinuing moxifloxacin, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to be aware of medications that might trigger BHT and to inform patients about potential side effects.
