Invasion of the Hawaiian Islands by a parasite infecting imperiled stream fishes
ECOGRAPHY, 41(3), 528–539.
TL;DR:
These findings parallel historical records of non-native poeciliid introductions and suggest that remediating invasion hotspots could reduce the risk of infection in native stream fishes, which illustrates how inferences on parasite co-introductions can improve conservation efforts by guiding responses to emerging infectious disease in species of concern.

Evaluation of genes associated with human myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs with familial myxomatous mitral valve degeneration
VETERINARY JOURNAL, 232, 16–19.
author keywords: Canine; Cavalier King Charles spaniel; Dachshund; Genetic; Mitral valve; Myxomatous valve
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA / blood; Dog Diseases / genetics; Dogs; Heart Valve Diseases / genetics; Heart Valve Diseases / veterinary; Humans; Mitral Valve; Mitral Valve Prolapse / genetics; Mutation; Species Specificity; Whole Genome Sequencing / veterinary
TL;DR:
Although mitral valve disease in the CKCS and Dachshund is a familial disease, it was hypothesized that a genetic mutation associated with the development of the human form of MMVD was associated withthe development of canine MMVD and this work identified genetic cause in the genes responsible for the human disease.

Endotoxin enhances respiratory effects of phthalates in adults: Results from NHANES 2005-6
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 162, 280–286.
author keywords: Allergy; Asthma; Wheeze; Dust endotoxin; Phthalates
MeSH headings : Adult; Asthma / chemically induced; Cross-Sectional Studies; Dust; Endotoxins / toxicity; Environmental Exposure; Humans; Nutrition Surveys; Phthalic Acids / toxicity; Respiratory Sounds / drug effects
TL;DR:
The lack of an association between wheeze or asthma and phthalate when endotoxin exposure was low suggests that phthalates alone may not increase these symptoms, whereas this cross‐sectional study cannot address key temporal issues.

Cadmium disrupts signaling of the hypoxia-inducible (HIF) and transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) pathways in placental JEG-3 trophoblast cells via reactive oxygen species
TOXICOLOGY AND APPLIED PHARMACOLOGY, 342, 108–115.
Contributors: O. Adebambo n, D. Shea n & R. Fry *
author keywords: Reactive oxygen species; Hypoxia; Placentation; Growth factor; Gene expression; Cadmium
MeSH headings : Cadmium / toxicity; Cell Line, Tumor; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Female; Humans; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, alpha Subunit / antagonists & inhibitors; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, alpha Subunit / metabolism; Placenta / cytology; Placenta / drug effects; Placenta / metabolism; Pregnancy; Reactive Oxygen Species / metabolism; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Signal Transduction / physiology; Transforming Growth Factor beta / antagonists & inhibitors; Transforming Growth Factor beta / metabolism; Trophoblasts / drug effects; Trophoblasts / metabolism
TL;DR:
Treatment of placental trophoblast cells with Cd results in increased production of ROSs that disrupt placentation pathways involved in disease pathogenesis, and co‐occurrence of Cd with other toxic metals, particularly arsenic, may induce detrimental health effects that are currently underestimated when analyzed as single metals.

MeSH headings : Carbofuran / adverse effects; Case-Control Studies; Farmers / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Male; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pesticides / toxicity; Prospective Studies; Sleep Apnea Syndromes / chemically induced; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States / epidemiology
TL;DR:
The results in a male agricultural population suggests that exposure to carbofuran is positively associated with sleep apnea, a pesticide canceled in the United States in 2009 for most agricultural purposes but persists in the environment and remains in use in some other countries.

Periphyton and abiotic factors influencing arsenic speciation in aquatic environments
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 37(3), 903–913.
author keywords: Abiotic transformation; Aquatic plants; Bioconcentration; Biotransformation; Metal speciation; Arsenic
MeSH headings : Aerobiosis; Animals; Arsenic / analysis; Ephemeroptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Periphyton; Solutions; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
TL;DR:
Periphyton plays several roles in As environmental behavior: 1) decreasing total dissolved As concentrations via abiotic and biotic accumulation, 2) rapidly oxidizing As(III) to As(V), 3) effluxing organo-As forms into solution, and 4) limiting trophic transfer to aquatic grazers.
