Download or read book Risques li s aux perturbateurs endocriniens pr sents dans les cosm tiques ou produits d hygi ne notamment chez les femmes enceintes ou en ge de procr er written by Marion Petit and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : les perturbateurs endocriniens sont des substances ubiquitaires pouvant interférer avec le système endocrinien et induire des effets nocifs sur la santé, notamment pendant la grossesse et les 1000 premiers jours de vie. C'est un problème de santé publique. Les MG ont un rôle privilégié de prévention et d'information à jouer auprès de leurs patients. Objectif : évaluer la connaissance des MG de la Haute-Garonne sur les risques liés aux perturbateurs endocriniens présents dans les cosmétiques ou produits d'hygiène, en particulier chez les femmes enceintes ou en âge de procréer. Matériel et méthode : étude quantitative descriptive réalisée de septembre 2023 à janvier 2024 auprès des MG âgés de 25 ans ou plus dans le département de la Haute-Garonne, via un questionnaire numérique. Un score de notation a été calculé avec un total de 38 points. Résultats : sur 430 mails envoyés, 103 questionnaires ont été inclus. Notre échantillon était majoritairement des femmes et âgé de 25 à 44 ans. Plus de la moitié des MG ont bien répondu aux questions de connaissances avec un score total moyen de 26,7/38. Il semblerait que les femmes MG âgées de 25 à 44 ans aient mieux répondu à certaines questions. Pour leur pratique, 70% des MG favoriseraient l'utilisation d'une fiche d'information à commenter. Conclusion : si les connaissances de notre échantillon sont majoritairement bonnes, les pratiques courantes de prévention et d'information en consultation sembleraient encore insuffisantes. Pour parfaire l'information de la population générale, il faut poursuivre la formation continue des MG et inclure dans la formation initiale des étudiants en médecine le sujet des perturbateurs endocriniens. Des outils pratiques sont disponibles pour soutenir le médecin dans la prévention en consultation. D'autres études sont nécessaires pour évaluer et déterminer les freins à la prévention en pratique.
Download or read book Communications et signalisations cellulaires 4e ed written by COMBARNOUS Yves and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les activités des cellules d’un organisme complexe doivent être coordonnées via des régulations intégratives d’ordre supérieur (endocrines, nerveuses, immunitaires). Ces coordinations mettent en jeu des communications intercellulaires grâce à des messagers (hormones, neuromédiateurs, cytokines, phéromones) qui, en se liant à des récepteurs spécifiques de leurs cellules cibles, déclenchent, en aval, l’activation de voies de signalisation intracellulaires. Celles-ci sont largement conservées chez tous les eucaryotes multicellulaires, y compris l’espèce humaine. Cette nouvelle édition de Communications et signalisations cellulaires, entièrement remise à jour et remaniée, dresse un état des lieux des connaissances dans ce vaste domaine avec pour principal objectif non pas d’accumuler de trop nombreuses données, mais d’offrir au lecteur des éléments simples et pertinents lui permettant de situer ses molécules d’intérêt dans un cadre plus général. Pratique, didactique et toujours agrémenté d’un lexique franco-anglais des sigles, cet ouvrage s’adresse aux enseignants, chercheurs et étudiants en biologie, biochimie et médecine pour lesquels il constitue une véritable référence et un guide indispensable.

Download or read book Endocrine Disrupters written by Polyxeni Nicolopoulou-Stamati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During recent decades, millions of tonnes of man-made chemicals have been produced and released into the environment, with very little safety testing. Many of these chemical substances have been found to interfere with the endocrine system and modulate its function. This book not only overviews the effects of endocrine/disrupting substances on human health, but also addresses the regulatory problems from the point of view of international organisations, including the WHO, the EU, and the European Chlorine Industry. This volume contains the proceedings of a workshop held at the International Hippocrates Foundation on Kos Island, Greece, in September 1999. The workshop was part of the activities of the ASPIS project, which aims at raising awareness of environmental health impacts among multidisciplinary groups. The contributions to this volume are the result of the interaction of participants at the workshop. As such, it addresses the issue of endocrine disrupters from many different points of view and allows the subject to be approached by a multidisciplinary readership, including: decision makers, medical doctors, environmental experts, post/and undergraduate students, lawyers, engineers, and journalists.

Download or read book Toxic Injustice written by Susanna Rankin Bohme and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pesticide dibromochloropropane, known as DBCP, was developed by the chemical companies Dow and Shell in the 1950s to target wormlike, soil-dwelling creatures called nematodes. Despite signs that the chemical was dangerous, it was widely used in U.S. agriculture and on Chiquita and Dole banana plantations in Central America. In the late 1970s, DBCP was linked to male sterility, but an uneven regulatory process left many workers—especially on Dole’s banana farms—exposed for years after health risks were known. Susanna Rankin Bohme tells an intriguing, multilayered history that spans fifty years, highlighting the transnational reach of corporations and social justice movements. Toxic Injustice links health inequalities and worker struggles as it charts how people excluded from workplace and legal protections have found ways to challenge power structures and seek justice from states and transnational corporations alike.
Download or read book Powerless Science written by Soraya Boudia and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of decades of research on toxicants, along with the growing role of scientific expertise in public policy and the unprecedented rise in the number of national and international institutions dealing with environmental health issues, problems surrounding contaminants and their effects on health have never appeared so important, sometimes to the point of appearing insurmountable. This calls for a reconsideration of the roles of scientific knowledge and expertise in the definition and management of toxic issues, which this book seeks to do. It looks at complex historical, social, and political dynamics, made up of public controversies, environmental and health crises, economic interests, and political responses, and demonstrates how and to what extent scientific knowledge about toxicants has been caught between scientific, economic, and political imperatives. Soraya Boudia is Professor of Science, Technology, and Innovation Studies at the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. Her scholarly work focuses on the transnational government of technological and health environmental risks. She has co-edited a special issue of History and Technology, "Risk and risk Society in Historical Perspective" (2007), and Toxicants, Health and Regulations Since 1945 (Pickering & Chatto, 2013), both with Nathalie Jas. Nathalie Jas is a Senior Researcher at the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA). A historian and a STS scholar, her scholarly work analyses the intensification of agriculture and its social, environmental, and health effects. She has co-edited a special issue of History and Technology, "Risk and risk Society in Historical Perspective" (2007), and Toxicants, Health and Regulations Since 1945 (Pickering & Chatto, 2013), both with Soraya Boudia.
