    , household characteristics, insecticide usage and exposure-related behavior in children was used to interview parents or family caregivers. Permethrin and cypermethrin concentrations on floor surfaces and children’s hands, as well as their urinary metabolites... metabolites were 0.84, 0.31 and 1.23 nmol/g creatinine, respectively. This study found that household insecticide product usage and having a tile floor were associated with increased permethrin concentrations on the children’s hands and floor surfaces. However

    while controlling gender, baseline age, and body mass index (BMI) was used to compare between conventional and organic farmers or the impact of cumulative days of spraying insecticides, herbicides or fungicides. The estimated marginal means... of the thyroid hormone levels (TSH, FT3, T3, and T4) estimated from the linear mixed models were significantly higher among the conventional farmers than organic farmers. As cumulative spray days of insecticide, herbicide or fungicide increased, TSH and FT3

    Urinary Cypermethrin Metabolites among Conventional and Organic Farmers in Thailand
    (2023-06-01) Tremongkoltip A.; Pengpumkiat S.; Kongtip P.; Nankongnab N.; Siri S.; Woskie S.; Mahidol University
    Cypermethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, is frequently spread on agricultural farmlands and is also used in households in Thailand. Conventional pesticide-using farmers (n = 209) were recruited from the Phitsanulok and Nakornsawan provinces... any cypermethrin or with organic farmers, a significant difference was noted for all metabolites except for trans-DCCA. These findings show that the most significant exposures to cypermethrin are among conventional farmers who use the insecticide

    © 2020 Sriapha et al. Introduction: Imidacloprid is the most commonly used neonicotinoid insecticide world-wide. Despite its reputation for safety, there is increasing evidence regarding its toxicity. This study characterized the clinical....8%) with no corrosive injuries and neurological effects (14.2%). The majority of medical outcomes was no (18.4%) to mild (76.1%) toxicity. One patient had symptoms mimicking cholinergic syndrome, three developed liver injury, and five died.

    problem. B. thuringiensis also produces vegetative insecticidal protein (Vip3A), which can kill insect targets in the same group as Cry toxins but using different host receptors, making the combined application of Cry and Vip3A an exciting possibility. Vip...3A toxicity requires the formation of a homotetramer. Hence, screening of Vip3A mutants for increased stability requires orthogonal biophysical assays that can test both tetrameric integrity and monomeric robustness. For this purpose, we have used

    Emamectin Poisoning in Thailand: Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes
    (2024-09-01) Trakulsrichai S.; Sittiyuno P.; Tansuwannarat P.; Tongpoo A.; Trakulsrichai S.; Mahidol University
    Emamectin benzoate (Emamectin) is a broad-spectrum insecticide. Current data regarding emamectin poisoning in humans are very limited. We performed a 10-year retrospective cross-sectional study (2011–2020) using data from the Ramathibodi Poison
