Objective: It is the aim of this study if the recent Cd intake and excretion is consistent with the regression equation proposed by Ikeda et al. (Environ. Health Prev. Med. 20 (2015) 455-459) which utilized intake/excretion data of 3 decades ago METHOD: Matched duplicate diet and spot urine samples were collected in 2017-2019 from 150 Japanese adults (85 females and 65 males, mean age being 44.9) for the estimation of daily Cd intake and urinary excretion. Cd concentration in diet and urine was measured by ICP mass spectrometry.

Result: Geometric mean (geometric standard deviation) of Cd intake was 12.1 (1.67) μg/person/day or 0.206 (1.66) μg/kg body wt./day. Urinary Cd concentration was 0.54 (2.6) μg/g creatinine or 0.67 μg/L (2.3) (gravimetric correction). These were lower than those reported previously for Japanese populations. Urinary concentration was significantly higher in females than in males for both creatinine and gravimetric corrections. Dietary intake was higher in males than in females but this difference diminished after body weight correction. There was no significant correlation between Cd intake and urinary concentration on individual basis, which was expected because urinary Cd concentration reflects Cd body burden but not recent intake level. Meanwhile, the geometric mean intake and urine concentration was consistent with the regression equation proposed by Ikeda et al., which was based on intake and excretion surveys for 30 non-exposed Japanese female populations.

Conclusion: This result supported that the regression equation of Ikeda et al. could be used for conversion of urinary Cd excretion level of a population to intake level.

With over 14 million people living above 3,500 m, the study of acclimatization and adaptation to high altitude in human populations is of increasing importance, where exposure to high altitude (HA) imposes a blood oxygenation and acid-base challenge. A sustained and augmented hypoxic ventilatory response protects oxygenation through ventilatory acclimatization, but elicits hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis. A subsequent renally mediated compensatory metabolic acidosis corrects pH toward baseline values, with a high degree of interindividual variability.

Formulas to estimate dietary sodium intake from spot urine lead to misleading associations with cardiovascular disease risk and mortality.

Objectives: To test the hypothesis that the association of formula-estimated sodium intake from spot urine with cardiovascular disease is independent of spot urinary sodium concentration.

Methods: We included 435 336 participants in the UK Biobank whose sodium intake was estimated from spot urine using INTERSALT, Kawasaki, and Tanaka formulas. Hazard ratios for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and deaths were estimated using Cox proportional-hazard model adjusted for multiple covariates.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly understood, with causes identified in only 25% of cases. Emerging evidence suggests links between trace elements (TEs) and POI. This study is the first to compare concentrations of manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) across urine, serum, and whole blood in women with POI compared to healthy controls (HC), aiming to explore their distribution and potential associations with POI.

Nowadays, synthetic cathinones (SCs) is the second more representative subclass of New Psychoactive Substances, accounting for 104 analogues in the illegal market. Since its first report in 2011, α-pyrrolidinovalerophenone (α-PVP) gained popularity among drug users, provoking an increased number of intoxications. Nonetheless, pharmacokinetics data is still limited in the literature.
