PALS (pregnancy and lifestyle study): association between occupational and environmental exposure to chemicals and reproductive outcome

Mutation Research
J H FordJ Hiller

Abstract

A prospective study examined the reproductive outcome, live birth, miscarriage or 9 months infertility, in 585 participating couples. Examination of the data relating to environmental and occupational exposure to chemicals and radiation revealed the following associations. Infertility was significantly associated with male factors of age, occupational exposure to dusts and occupation of labourer in men aged 35 or older. Female factors associated with infertility were age and home renovating if aged 35 or older. First trimester spontaneous miscarriage was associated with male factors of age, X-rays of the abdomen or back, occupation as a tradesperson, home exposure to glues, oil paints or oven cleaners. Female factors included age, visiting factories in the course of work, X-rays of the abdomen, home use of glues and working at home if aged less than 35. The most significant findings of the study are the poor outcomes associated with abdominal/back X-rays and home exposure to chemicals. The possible effects of having different numbers of positive factors was examined for each of miscarriage and 9 months infertility. Nine factors were examined for miscarriage and couples were found to have from zero to seven of these. The observe...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.
