Abstract

The "co-use" patterns of cosmetics would be critical for accurate aggregate exposure assessment. The Korean national representative exposure factor database, which includes simultaneous usage patterns of 31 cosmetics by 1001 subjects, was used to analyze the co-use patterns by Koreans. Three analytical methods were applied to determine the co-use patterns. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between pairs. This method revealed an effect of gender on the cosmetics co-use pattern. Hierarchical clustering analysis was performed using the binary linkage distance method. The clusters were divided into one large cluster and small clusters of one or two cosmetics. Frequent pattern mining was performed using the eclat algorithm. The number of cosmetics used and co-use pattern were influenced by gender and age of the population. The co-use patterns exhibited an additive property in that new cosmetics were added to previous cosmetic combinations. A co-use scenario was proposed using the rank of occurrence frequency in co-use patterns and percentile values of the number of cosmetics used. The 16 co-use scenarios represented to the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles of the co-use patterns for four gender-age g...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
