Phthalates, bisphenols and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances migration from food packaging into food: a systematic review.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are commonly found in food due to their migration from plastic packaging. Despite their functional benefits, these additives can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to several adverse health outcomes. This review aims to examine the migration of phthalates, bisphenols, and per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from plastic food packaging into food substances.

Phthalates and bisphenols early-life exposure, and childhood allergic conditions: a pooled analysis of cohort studies.

Background: Exposure to plastic additives, such as phthalates and bisphenols, has been associated with a higher risk of allergic conditions, but the evidence is inconsistent for children younger than five.

Objective: To examine the association between pre- and postnatal urinary phthalates and bisphenols, and allergic conditions, and potential effect modification by sex, in pre-school children, through a pooled analysis.

Methods: We pooled data from the Barwon Infant Study (Australia), the Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development Study (Canada), the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (United States) and the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes-wide cohorts (United States).

Exposure to Systemic Antimicrobials During Pregnancy and Risk of Miscarriage: A Population-Based Registry Study.

Objective: To estimate miscarriage risk following gestational antimicrobial exposure while addressing biases that have affected previous studies.

Design: Population-based cohort study.

Setting: Linkage of four nationwide registries: Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN), Norwegian Prescribed Drug Registry (NorPD), Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR) and Norwegian Control and Payment of Health Reimbursements Database (KUHR).

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting plasticisers and lung function in children and adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting plasticisers (EDPs), such as phthalates and bisphenols, has been associated with reduced lung function in children and adolescents. However, the existing literature yields conflicting results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the epidemiologic evidence investigating the association between EDP exposure and lung function in children and adolescents.

Original article: is the protective association between hyperemesis gravidarum and birth defects biased by pregnancy termination?

Purpose: We assessed whether the protective association between hyperemesis gravidarum and birth defects could be due to selection bias from exclusion of pregnancy terminations.

Methods: We designed a cohort study of 2,115,581 live births in Canada, 1990-2016. The main exposure measure was hyperemesis gravidarum.
