Abstract:

One of the most common problems with the area of health and nutritional research is the limited number of quality books available that can provide research methodology, health indicators and their trend in a single volume. Statistical Aspects of Community Health and Nutrition is a one of the problem-based text book which completely fulfils the gap and stands to our expectations. This book is a single but comprehensive resource on maternal and infant mortality, anemia especially in adolescents and women in reproductive age group and, their causes, prevention, evaluation and validation methods including 30 clusters design, logistic regression and findings of recent relevant studies. Despite above, author also discusses the food insecurity and hunger, tuberculosis, influenza like prevalent diseases, their hotspot and available estimates, techniques for analyzing multiple response data, and small area estimation.

Objective: to establish a correlation of the main neuroendocrine and metabolic parameters associated with infertility and to provide a prognostic assessment of reproductive disorders in HIV-infected women, stages 4.Materials and methods. Cross-sectional, cohort, clinical and sociological study of fertility of 83 women of reproductive age with HIV, stages 4.Results. The most signiﬁcant indicators of lipid peroxidation and neuroendocrine regulation systems have been established in patients with HIV infection and reproductive disorders, which will make it possible to predict these disorders in the future. Decreased ovarian reserve, ovarian steroid function, increased pituitary prolactinergic function are associated with a deﬁciency of a number of antioxidants (retinol, tocopherol, superoxide dismutase) and the development of oxidative stress with a predominant accumulation of intermediate lipid peroxidation products in HIV-infected women with infertility.Conclusion. The pathogenetically substantiated principle of the correction of antioxidant status is the use of a-tocopherol and retinol preparations and the correction of hormonal levels in HIV-infected women with reproductive disorders.

Abstract:

Because reproduction is essential for all life, it is central to our understanding of all aspects of biology. The Society for Reproductive Biology (SRB) 2016 conference held on the Gold Coast (Qld, Australia) displayed the current breadth of reproductive research in Australia and New Zealand, with additional insights from world leaders in the field. This conference review provides a focused summary of the key questions, emerging ideas and novel technologies that were presented in the symposia. Presented research demonstrated key advances in how stem cell biology may allow us to better understand pluripotency, as well as how environmental and lifestyle factors, such as circadian disruption, smoking, alcohol and diet, affect gametogenesis, embryo implantation, placental function and reproductive capacity. Sessions also highlighted the role of reproductive biology in providing insight into the mechanisms and processes governing a wide range of biological science disciplines, including cancer research and therapies, oncofertility, conservation of native species and chronic non-communicable diseases. Recurring themes included the importance of male and female gamete quality for reproductive potential and the critical and varied roles of the placenta in the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Dysregulation of reproductive processes can contribute to a variety of pathological states that affect future health, fertility and fecundity. Research being conducted by the SRB has the potential to shape not only the fertility of the current generation, but also the health and reproductive viability of future generations.

Abstract:

Human reproduction and development is a cycle of interdependent events. Virtually all of its phases have been shown to be the primary target of one or more non-mutagenic exogenous agents (Table 1). Such agents interfere with certain of the countless epigenetic or ontogenic events essential for normal completion of the cycle. Mutagens disrupt this cycle at some points, but the overwhelming majority of reproduc tive and developmental toxins are not mutagenic. As in all aspects of toxicology, the reproductive and developmental effects of chemicals are determined by the intrinsic nature of the chemical, the quantity of the chemical exposure, the duration of exposure and the stage of the cycle at which it occurs. Signs of repro ductive toxicity range from reduced fertility to spontaneous abortion. Adverse effects on the conceptus are categorized as functional deficits, developmental retardation, structural abnormality and death. One or more of these is anticipated to occur as a result of excess exposure to most chemicals. Although the degree of hazard and risk potential can be calculated in each instance, chemicals differ markedly in their ability to interfere with reproduction (Amann, 1982) and/or develop ment (Johnson, 1984). Standardized methods for reproductive and developmental toxicity safety evaluation are available for detecting adverse effects upon any

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the relation between health-promoting lifestyle and sexual function among women of reproductive age. In this cross-sectional study, 1200 women were recruited randomly from 10 public health centers in Ahvaz, Iran. A demographic questionnaire, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile 2 (HPLP2), and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used for data collection. The inclusion criteria were as follows: women aged 15–45 years, married, monogamous, and having basic literacy. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis test, chi-square test, Spearman correlation coefficient, and logistic regression. All aspects of sexual function showed a significant relationship with different dimensions of HPLP2, except for pain and physical activity ( p < 0.001). Women who had better self-actualization were more likely to have better sexual function than other women (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.06–1.14, p < 0.001). Other variables like responsibility, interpersonal relations and stress management also showed a significant correlation with sexual function. Results of this study showed that health-promoting lifestyle dimensions are significantly related to all aspects of sexual function in women of reproductive age. Health policy makers should take lifestyle-related factors of reproductive-aged women into account when seeking to improve the sexual wellbeing of this population. Further attention should also be given to assessing the direction of causality.

Abstract:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder found in reproductive age women without a finite cause of existence. While clinical aspects of the study attribute itself to a more significant part of the research, there is also a need to understand patients' perception of better design interventions. The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary qualitative study to analyse and apprehend the feelings, expressions, perceptions, and experiences expressed by patients associated with the PCOS. The study exercised in-depth interviews with women between 18 to 35 years in Kollam district, Kerala, India. The study results reveal that psychosocial aspects such as lifestyle changes, coping mechanisms, attitudes and beliefs, awareness levels, and physician-patient relations are affecting women among this population. The study concluded that for any behavioural intervention to work for women affected by PCOS, it is essential to take into account the aforementioned psychosocial aspects.

Abstract:

Introduction. Reproductive health of women is determined by females? demographic and socio-economic characteristics, their behavior, and the complex of environmental factors. Objective. The paper examines the predictive impact of personal and environmental characteristics, health and healthcare characteristics regarding the most important aspects of reproductive health. Methods From a sample of 2,718 women, aged 20-49 years, we collected information on various characteristics using a structured questionnaire. Based on factorial analysis (principal components method, Kaisser Varimax criterion) we selected representative variables (factors), describing personal (demographic and socio-economic) characteristics of women, their environment (family, household, community), health (attitudes towards health, life-style, health status), healthcare (independent) and the characteristics of reproductive health (dependent variables). The predictors were analyzed by multiple regression and correlation. Results. Sexual behavior was determined by socio-economic status, personal tidiness, rest, presence of risk factor(s), health evaluation and attitude toward personal responsibility, trust in physicians etc. The predictors of contraception involved satisfaction with one?s own health, serious health problems, health evaluation. The presence and number of abortions were determined by personal psychological maturity, rest, risk factors, life-style, health evaluation and its manifestations, and the continuity and timely healthcare. The predictors of adequate protection of reproductive health involved the cultural level of the community, financial standing of the household, satisfaction with one?s own life, tidiness and rest, presence of risk factors, health evaluation, attitude towards personal responsibility, and trust in physicians. HIV control was determined by satisfaction with one?s own life, physical activity of women, presence of serious health problems, and the content of primary healthcare. Postpartal protection was determined by the cultural level of the community, reasons for dissatisfaction with one?s own life, presence of risk factors and deficiencies, and timely contraception. The predictors of reproductive period duration are availability of health care in a community and personal tidiness of women. Conclusion. The study confirmed predictive impact of most of the studied characteristics.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine whether low-level flying military aircraft affected the reproductive success of Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), and if so, to determine the optimal avoidance distance to minimize these effects. I studied 49 nests in 1995, and 68 nests in 1996 within the military low-level flying zone. Nest occupancy, clutch size, number of hatchlings, and number of young at 41 days of age were assessed at each nest. GIS flight track records provided frequency of aircraft at given distances and altitudes from the nest. Logistic regression analysis assessed the impact of flight frequency in four distance categories and four altitude categories on Osprey reproduction. The frequency of flights within each category were not accurate predictors of Osprey reproductive output. Nests were then randomly assigned to a buffer-zone radius of either 0, 1.85, 3.7, or to a control of 7.4 km, and reproductive output was compared among treatments, and between years. No significant differences were discovered among the reproductive parameters within either 1995 or 1996, but reproductive output was significantly higher in 1995, likely due to adverse weather conditions experienced in 1996.

Abstract:

II Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are persistent organic pollutants that have reached a global distribution in the environment. Many of the BFRs are lipophilic and bioaccumulative, and consequently several of them have been found in wildlife tissue with some of the highest levels recorded in several raptor species. The overall aim of this study was to determine the effects of exposure to environmentally relevant levels of the two most prominent BFRs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs: DE-71 mixture) or hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) on the reproductive success, behaviour and physiology of captive American kestrels. In 2007, males exposed in ovo to DE-71 at three mean egg exposure concentrations of 289 ng/g ww for the low-exposure males, 1131 ng/g ww for the high-exposure males, or background levels of 3 ng/g ww for controls, were paired with unexposed females, and euthanized in the following year for testes extraction. In 2008, kestrel pairs were exposed via diet to technical HBCD (0.32 µg/µl wet weight (ww) daily) or the vehicle only for controls; testis mass and histology was examined in an additional group of males exposed to the same concentrations for three weeks. Pairs with males exposed in ovo to DE-71 demonstrated decreased clutch size, and egg mass, reduced fertility, and delayed timing of egg-laying when compared to controls. Both members of these pairs displayed reduced courtship behavior, including copulation frequency, and males demonstrated reduced parental behavior compared to controls. The testes of males exposed in ovo to DE-71 were enlarged and contained more seminiferous tubules with lumen, though the number of tubules containing final spermatids decreased with increasing in ovo exposure to some PBDE congeners. Additionally, testosterone levels were reduced during breeding in these males. Pairs exposed to HBCD via diet laid their clutches earlier and their average clutch size of eggs was larger, however no associated increase in reproductive success was noted. Though eggshell thickness was unaffected, HBCD-exposed females produced lighter and smaller eggs. Both members of HBCD-exposed pairs showed reduced courtship behavior and males additionally demonstrated reduced parental care. Males exposed to HBCD had elevated testosterone levels, reduced circulating thyroxin (T4) and increased body mass at certain time-points throughout the breeding season. Unpaired males had larger testes than controls with more seminiferous tubules containing final spermatids. The results presented herein demonstrate that both of these BFRs affect reproduction in American kestrels. Since exposure levels in the present study were environmentally relevant, wild birds receiving similar exposure may experience comparable effects.
IV Les ignifugeants bromés sont des polluants organiques tenaces, répandus globalement dans l'environnement. Lipophiles et bioaccumulatifs, on les retrouve dans les tissus animaux, dont ceux des rapaces qui possèdent parmi les concentrations les plus élevées. Cette étude avait comme objectif global de déterminer les effets sur la reproduction, le comportement et la physiologie de crécerelles d'Amérique (Falco sparverius) captives exposées à deux ignifugeants brominés d'importance, soit les polybromodiphényléther (PBDE : mélange DE-71) et l'hexabromocyclodécane (HBCD), à des concentrations représentatives des niveaux environnementaux. En 2007, trois groupes de mâles exposés in ovo à des concentrations moyennes (± l'erreur-type) de DE- 71 respectives de 288,60 ± 33,35 ng/g mh (faible exposition), de 1130,59 ± 95,34 ng/g mh (forte exposition) et de 3,01 ± 0,46 ng/g mh (contrôle), ont été accouplés avec des femelles non-exposées, et euthanasiés l'année suivante pour en extraire les testicules. En 2008, des couples furent exposés au HBCD dans leur alimentation quotidienne, soit à une concentration de 0.544 µg/µl mh ou à un niveau-contrôle. De plus, la masse et l'histologie testiculaires de mâles non-accouplés exposés pendant trois semaines à ces mêmes concentrations respectives furent analysées. Comparés aux couples-contrôle, les couples avec mâles exposés au DE-71 ont subi une réduction dans la grandeur de leurs couvées et dans la masse et la fertilité de leurs œufs, ainsi qu'un délai dans leur ponte. Chacun des membres de ces couples démontra une diminution des comportements nuptiaux, dont la fréquence de copulation, et les mâles ont fait preuve de soins parentaux réduits. Ces derniers avaient également des testicules hypertrophiés contenant un plus grand nombre de tubules séminifères pourvus de lumen, cependant le nombre de tubules contenant des spermatides finales décrut en fonction de la croissance du niveau d'exposition à certains congénères PBDE. De leur part, les couples exposés au HBCD ont connu des pontes précoces comportant un plus grand nombre moyen d'œufs que les couples-contrôle, par contre leur succès reproductif global demeura inchangé. Bien que l'épaisseur des coquilles ne fut pas affectée, leurs œufs étaient anormalement petits et légers. Encore une fois, chacun des membres de ces couples démontra une baisse dans les comportements nuptiaux et l'apport de soins parentaux fut réduit chez les mâles. Ces derniers présentèrent également à certains moments des niveaux de testostérone et des masses corporelles supérieurs ainsi que des niveaux de thyroxine (T4) inférieurs aux mâles-contrôle, et les mâles non-accouplés développèrent de plus gros testicules avec plus grand nombre de tubules séminifères contenant des spermatides finales. L'ensemble de ces résultats démontre que les deux ignifugeants bromés en question, à leurs niveaux environnementaux, agissent effectivement sur la reproduction chez les crécerelles d'Amérique. Il est donc admissible de supposer que les crécerelles à l'état sauvage, voire même autres oiseaux, éprouvent des impacts comparables.

Abstract:

Electronic waste or `e-waste' is a rapidly growing form of solid waste worldwide. The heavy metals present in various electronic components demand attention because such metals may leach and pose significant health and environmental hazards (U.S. EPA, 2007). Knowledge of the potential of heavy metal leaching from e-waste represents an important contribution for developing U.S. standards for classifying e-waste as hazardous waste. Hazardous elements which leach from a variety of electronics wastes were assessed in laboratory batch studies. Electronic components evaluated included PC cathode ray tubes, PC motherboards, PC mice, television remote controls, and cellular phones. Each component was disassembled and digested using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), EPA Method 1312, Method EA NEN 7371 (Dutch Environmental Agency), and Method DEV-S4 (Germany). The extracts were analyzed for lead, cadmium, chromium, silver, and cobalt. The TCLP consistently leached the greatest amounts of all metals; TCLP-soluble lead was extracted well beyond federal limits for several electronic devices.

Abstract:

In this thesis I advance a socio–representational perspective on sexual and reproductive health as constructed by indigenous Mexican adolescents. The social and psychological literature on health among indigenous populations and on adolescent sexual health is reviewed. It is argued that a socio–psychological perspective is needed to understand the resources through which contemporary indigenous youth, a population overlooked by research, make sense of their sexual and reproductive health. In generating the theoretical tools to tackle this issue, I adopt a dialogical approach to social representations theory to sharpen Jovchelovitch’s (2007) model of knowledge encounters by proposing a typology of potential outcomes of these encounters. The empirical research involved female and male indigenous adolescents in two social contexts: rural and urban. In–depth individual interviews, focus group discussions and unstructured observations were employed for data elicitation. Results from the interpretative thematic analysis performed are presented through a ‘funnelling’ approach whereby the interdependent engagements of indigenous adolescents with their social context, their partners and specific health beliefs are discussed by highlighting nuanced differences in relation to social context and gender. Key findings are related to the understanding of romantic relationships in terms of stability and continuity, which impacts on the way that sex and contraception are perceived and experienced. Results also reveal that, in dialogue with others, adolescents come to identify alternative ways of positioning themselves with regards to customary discourses about sexual health. Focus group discussions are further examined through a dialogical analysis of interactions that aim to identify, in sociodialogue, the outcomes of knowledge encounters initially proposed. A further data–driven outcome is subsequently added to the typology and analytical categories are refined. Implications for health promotion in terms of the reflexion entailed in dialogue are offered in the conclusion chapter.

Abstract:

During the last decades, the interest in corrosion of metals and alloys from an environmental and health perspective has increased rapidly as a consequence of stricter environmental and human exposure legislations, their extensive use as implant materials and an increasing understanding related to occupational and/or daily exposure to airborne particles. Corrosion-induced metal release, however, needs to be understood in detail and to include knowledge related to chemical speciation, i.e. the oxidation state, complexation and chemical form of released metals, parameters of high importance when considering toxicity. In this licentiate work, corrosion-induced metal runoff from roofing materials (copper, zinc, and chromium(III)-, and chromium(VI) surface treated galvanized steel) has been investigated from an environmental perspective with focus on chemical speciation of released metals (Papers I-II). From these papers it was evident that the total concentration measured in the runoff water is not sufficient for any environmental risk assessment. The environmental fate including changes in chemical speciation and hence metal precipitation has to be considered. For example, it was shown that the copper concentration decreased by three orders of magnitude already in the internal drainage system of a shopping centre with a copper roof, to a concentration lower than storm water collected from a nearby parking space (Paper I). Also, speciation measurements can explain corrosion, metal release and surface processes of chromium surface treated galvanized steel at different sites (urban and marine). Any environmental risk assessment has to be done by considering all metal species released, and compared with ecotoxic values. For example, when most chromium(VI) (the most toxic species) was released, significantly less zinc was released at the same time which decreased the overall ecotoxicity of the runoff water significantly (Paper II). When assessing environmental risks by standard laboratory tests, it is important to understand all mechanisms which are possibly influenced by individual experimental parameters and which often are different for different test substances. Some metals released, as seen in the case of iron, may precipitate with time and be pH-, solution- and buffering dependent. This behavior can lead to strongly underestimated measured metal concentrations (Paper III). When particles of metals or alloys are to be investigated (Papers III-VI), it is essential to conduct a thorough particle characterization, since the surface properties cannot be defined. In addition, the surface properties (oxide layer properties) change with varying particle size (Paper VI) and with other experimental parameters such as dispersion (Paper VI). All iron-, and chromium-based particles investigated (Papers III-VI) revealed large differences between alloy particles and pure metals. Particles of pure iron and nickel released significantly more metals compared with particles of the investigated alloys, whereas particles of pure chromium released less metals compared with the alloys. Particles of stainless steel (AISI 316L), ferro-chromium and ferro-silicon-chromium released very low amounts of metals (Papers III-VI). The released quantity increased with increased acidity (Papers III-VI) and also in the presence of complexing agents (ongoing research). The manufacturing process is of high importance, as observed for stainless steel particles when compared with a side product from stainless steel production with similar composition that released significantly more metals (Paper III). Particles of metal oxides, i.e. chromium(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, released very low amounts of metals due to their thermodynamic stability. Ongoing research activities focus on the specific influence of complexing agents and proteins on the metal release process from massive sheet and particles of metals and alloys. The applicability and the possibility to use different analytical tools are investigated and elaborated for small-sized particles. A detailed understanding of the correlation between material and particle characteristics, the metal release process, the chemical speciation in interaction with proteins and/or cells, and the particle/cell interaction is essential to enable any correlation between material/particle characteristics and toxicity. The aim of this licentiate summary is – in contrast to the six included scientific papers – to explain the importance of chemical speciation for corrosion processes from a health and environmental perspective in a popular way to reach a broad non-academic audience. The summary is hence written as a guidance document for stakeholders and the regulatory community working with environmental and health risk assessment.

Abstract:

At least 30 million men are infertile around the world, identifying male factor infertility as a global health issue. In the past 70 years, evidence of a significant general decline in sperm quality has been reported, prompting concerns about the implications for reproductive health. Over the same period, there have been substantial changes in human lifestyles. New technologies, such as mobile phones and wi-fi, have been proposed to have a negative impact on a range of health outcomes, from an increased risk of cancer to a decrease in fertility. However, these links remain controversial. Over the last 30 years, the introduction of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has offered infertile patients, particularly men with severe male factor infertility, a successful treatment option. However, miscarriage rates associated with fertility treatment can be as high as 30% and how this risk had changed over time was unclear. In addition, there are natural fluctuations in human health, including seasonal changes to birth rates. However, the clinical implications of these fluctuations need to be established. In this thesis, using an integrated approach that combined epidemiological research with laboratory investigations, I show that sperm quality is negatively affected by exposure to RF-EMR from mobile phones and wi-fi. I also identified a seasonal summer increase in sperm motility and morphology that followed patterns of seasonality in birth rates and in the success of assisted conception cycles. I showed that although the number of successful conceptions from ART has increased over time, there has been an equal increase in miscarriage rates. Male reproductive health continues to be under-researched when compared with the female, this inequality needs to be addressed in order to understand the causes of the decline in male fertility and the relationship this has with subsequent reproductive success.

Abstract:

Previous research on the reproductive health of adolescents and youth in Pakistan has not addressed the diversity of adolescent experiences based on social status, residence, and gender. To understand the transition from adolescence to adulthood more fully, it is important to assess social, economic, and cultural aspects of that transition. This brief presents the experience of married and unmarried young people (males and females) from different social strata and residence regarding their own attitudes and expectations about reproductive health. More young people aged 15–24 live in Pakistan now than at any other time in its history—an estimated 36 million in 2004. Recognizing the dearth of information on this large group of young people, the Population Council undertook a nationally representative survey from October 2001 to March 2002. The analysis presented here comes from Adolescents and Youth in Pakistan 2001–02: A Nationally Representative Survey. The survey sought information from youth aged 15–24, responsible adults in the household, and other community members in 254 communities. A total of 6,585 households were visited and 8,074 young people were interviewed.

Abstract:

On May 7–8, 2001, the Population Council and the Center for Reproductive Health Research & Policy of the University of California, San Francisco, convened a technical seminar in New York City on the use of misoprostol for women’s health indications. The seminar was designed to provide a forum for researchers, providers, women’s health advocates, and educators to exchange information with the goal of advancing the potential of misoprostol to improve women’s health. Participants discussed the state of the art in research, examined current clinical use of misoprostol, and created strategies for the future. The first day focused on scientific and clinical aspects of misoprostol use. The second day’s discussion centered on the future of misoprostol for women’s health, including identifying priorities for research and the role of provider groups and women’s health and advocacy organizations in helping to ensure misoprostol’s continued, appropriate use. At the end of each session, the group had an opportunity to share ideas and discuss unanswered questions. This report covers the key issues raised by each speaker and highlights general areas of discussion among participants.
