This document provides a summary of recent literature on endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) published between April and June 2012. It describes papers on human exposure measurement and modelling of EDCs, health effects of EDCs, biological mechanisms of EDCs, environmental effects of EDCs, and risk assessment of EDCs. Several studies measured concentrations of bisphenol A, phthalates, and flame retardants in human samples like urine, hair, and tissues to characterize exposure levels. Other reviews discussed health impacts of UV filters and links between male reproductive disorders and environmental toxicants.
Analysis of Waste Water Treatment in Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Corpo...IJERA Editor

This document summarizes a study analyzing waste water treatment at the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Corporation (KRPC) in Nigeria. Key findings include:
1) Testing of waste water at four points found that many parameters met Nigerian standards, but many important parameters could not be measured due to a lack of suitable analytical instruments.
2) The KRPC laboratory is limited in the types of tests it can perform to monitor treated waste water discharged into receiving rivers. Many pollutants require more advanced instruments not available.
3) A comparison showed that while some treated effluent values met Nigerian guidelines, several important parameters could not be tested for and their levels remain unknown due to insufficient

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of Saccharomyces boulardii in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea in children and adults based on 21 randomized controlled trials involving 4780 participants. The administration of S. boulardii compared to placebo or no treatment reduced the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea from 18.7% to 8.5%. S. boulardii was effective in reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in both children and adults. It also reduced the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in children. The quality of evidence was rated as moderate to low based on limitations in the design and reporting of the included studies. This meta-analysis confirms the effectiveness of
Probiotics were found to reduce the duration of illness in children and adults with acute respiratory infections based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials. The meta-analysis revealed significantly fewer days of illness per person, shorter illness episodes by almost a day, and fewer days absent from daycare/school/work in participants who received a probiotic intervention compared to placebo. Probiotics may provide modest benefits in reducing the duration of respiratory illnesses.

The document describes the development of a survey questionnaire called FluTEST to measure public perceptions and behaviors during an influenza pandemic. Researchers identified relevant outcome and predictor variables from existing literature and expert consultation. They developed and tested questionnaire items through qualitative interviews and reliability testing in a telephone survey of over 1000 British adults with follow-up. The refined FluTEST items demonstrated largely satisfactory reliability and some non-response bias. The questionnaire provides an evidence-based tool for public health bodies to monitor the public's response in a future pandemic.
