Systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiologic data on vaccine response in relation to exposure to five principal perfluoroalkyl substances

Lori Crawford et al.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to determine the magnitude of the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) serum concentration and antibody response to vaccines. The results showed that all PFAS tended to have an inverse association with antibody concentrations, but the specific associations were inconsistent. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Urinary glyphosate concentration in pregnant women in relation to length of gestation

Corina Lesseur et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between prenatal glyphosate exposure and length of gestation, finding that maternal glyphosate and AMPA exposure were associated with shortened gestational length only among spontaneous deliveries. The results suggest widespread exposure to glyphosate in the general population, potentially impacting reproductive health. Larger confirmatory studies are needed to further investigate the effects, especially in vulnerable populations like pregnant women and newborns.

Prenatal neonicotinoid insecticides Exposure, oxidative Stress, and birth outcomes

Chengyu Pan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prenatal exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) in pregnant women in China and assessed its association with birth outcomes. The study found that exposure to NEOs may have an impact on the head circumference and ponderal index of newborns, and this association may be mediated by urinary 8-OHdG. These findings are important for understanding the effects of NEOs on human health.

How we promote rigour in systematic reviews and evidence maps at Environment International

Paul Whaley et al.

Summary: In 2016, Environment International became the first environmental health journal to adopt specialist policies for handling systematic review (SR) submissions. This article discusses the challenges faced by researchers in SR methods and the importance of protocols in reducing project risk. It also highlights the insufficiency of informal peer-review and editorial checks in ensuring the rigor of SR publications. The implementation of effective quality control measures and triage instruments for SR publications is recommended.

Meta-analysis with Robust Variance Estimation: Expanding the Range of Working Models

James E. Pustejovsky et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a method to handle all related dependent effect sizes in a single meta-analysis model, improving efficiency and better capturing the types of data structures that occur in practice. The method also demonstrates practical application in meta-analysis of randomized trials on the effects of brief alcohol interventions for adolescents and young adults.

Pregnancy, labour and delivery as risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse: a systematic review

Laura Cattani et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the associations between obstetric events and POP symptoms, signs, and levator avulsion, identifying first vaginal delivery and forceps delivery as significant risk factors for POP. Additionally, cesarean birth was found to be protective against POP compared to nulliparity.

Glyphosate Herbicide: Reproductive Outcomes and Multigenerational Effects

Maria Mercedes Milesi et al.

Summary: Glyphosate base herbicides (GBHs) are widely used pesticides in association with GBH-tolerant crop varieties. Their indiscriminate use has led to the emergence of glyphosate resistant weeds and increased herbicide usage. The safety of glyphosate and its formulations remains controversial, with growing evidence suggesting potential adverse effects.

Pesticides: formulants, distribution pathways and effects on human health-a review

Valeriya P. Kalyabina et al.

Summary: Pesticide residues can have long-term negative effects on human and animal health, as well as the stability of ecosystems, despite modern formulations being relatively safe. Research on the effects and consequences of pesticide contamination in agricultural crops, along with implicit risks associated with pesticide formulations, is essential to understand and mitigate the potential impacts of pesticides.

Environmental Exposure during Pregnancy: Influence on Prenatal Development and Early Life: A Comprehensive Review

M. Dolores Gomez-Roig et al.

Summary: Preconception and prenatal exposure to environmental contaminants can have long-term effects on health, particularly during pregnancy, neonatal period, and childhood. Substances like alcohol and smoking can lead to fetal abnormalities and developmental issues, while endocrine-disrupting chemicals and heavy metals in food may alter hormone levels and impact fetal health. The growing evidence on the negative effects of air pollutants on pregnancy highlights the importance of considering environmental exposures as a major public health issue during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
