Circadian variation of cardiac autonomic nervous profile is affected in Japanese ambulance men with a working system of 24-h shifts
Object: The purpose of this study was to compare the stress levels of Japanese ambulance men between on-duty and off-duty days, by using the physiological indices of heart rate variability (HRV) and cortisol in urine, measured over each 24-h period. Methods: Measurements were made during one on-duty and one off-duty day for each subject. The participants were monitored for 24 h with a Holter ...

Trialling urine diversion in Australia: technical and social learnings
This paper discusses a urine diversion (UD) trial implemented within the institutional setting of the University of Technology Sydney that sought to identify key issues for public UD and reuse systems at scale in the Australian urban context. The trial was novel in its transdisciplinary action research approach, that included consideration of urine diverting toilets (UDTs) as socio-technical ...

Dermal absorption of chlorpyrifos in human volunteers
Objective: The methods and results are described of a study on the dermal absorption of chlorpyrifos (CPF) in humans established via urinary excretion of the metabolite 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP). Methods: Two dermal, single, doses of CPF were applied in two study groups (A and B) each comprising three apparently healthy male volunteers who gave their written informed consent. The clinical ...

hCG and FSH Levels During Early Pregnancy and Reproductive Aging
Low levels of hCG are known to be co-produced with FSH during reproductive aging (during peri-menopause and menopause). A missed period could be indicative of pregnancy or peri-menopause for woman in later reproductive life, so understanding the reference ranges for hCG is important. Introduction hCG assays have high sensitivity and specificity for pregnancy1 Low levels of hCG are known to ...

Identification of inter‐specific differences in phase II reactions: Determination of metabolites in the urine of 16 mammalian species exposed to environmental pyrene
Inter‐specific differences in xenobiotic metabolism are a key to determining relative sensitivity of animals to xenobiotics. However, information in domesticated livestock, companion animals, and captive and free‐ranging wildlife is incomplete. The present study evaluated inter‐specific differences in phase‐II conjugation using pyrene (PY) as a non‐destructive biomarker of polycyclic aromatic ...

Methods for controlling stored urine odor in resource-oriented sanitation
Urine odor is a major challenge in the development of resource-oriented sanitation (ROS). One common solution to overcome odor issues is to use energy-consuming ventilation practices. However, historically ancient Koreans practiced separation of urine and feces, followed by the collection and utilization of gathered sanitary matters. Furthermore, ancient Persians developed solutions to urine ...

Impact of feeding flaxseed oil on delaying the development of osteoporosis in ovariectomised diabetic rats
This work is aimed to study the effect of diabetes on bone health and to evaluate the impact of feeding flaxseed oil on delaying osteoporosis. About 70 female albino rats were included; 30 were ovariectomised (ovx). Experimental diabetes was induced. Rats were classified in groups as control, sham, diabetic, diabetic received flaxseed oil in the diet, ovx, ovx-diabetic and ovx-diabetic received ...

Effect of transparent covers for collection chambers of urine-diverting dry toilets on dehydration of faecal waste
Urine-diverting dry toilets save water, reduce the demand for wastewater treatment and provide plant nutrients. The conditions in the collection chambers and the interlinked hygienic safety of subsequent faecal matter use in crop production are affected by the building design. Comparative experiments were carried out to evaluate the potential of transparent chamber covers in comparison with ...

Characterization of trenbolone acetate and estradiol metabolite excretion profiles in implanted steers
Exogenous growth promoters have been used in United States beef cattle production for over 50 years. The environmental fate and transport of steroid growth promoters suggest potential for endocrine disrupting effects among ecological receptors; however, the initial excretion of steroid metabolites from cattle administered growth promoters has not been well characterized. To better characterize ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
