-
(Elsevier, 2012-11)We investigated presence and levels of DDT in 163 breast milk samples from four South African villages where, in three of them, malaria is controlled with DDT-sprayed indoors. Mean SDDT levels in breast milk were 18, 11, ...
-
(AOSIS Open Journals, 2013)A qualitative and quantitative histological assessment was done on the liver, gills and gonads. Focus was placed on reproductive health aspects by staging the gonads according to their reproductive development and assessing ...
-
(Medknow Publications, 2013)The bladder hamartoma is an extremely rare entity. We report on its presence in a 5-year-old boy with Goldenhar syndrome. Most probably, this is the first report of a bladder hamartoma presenting with obstruction of the ...

(Elsevier, 2013-06)The incidence of prostate cancer among South African men is just as significant as it is worldwide [1,2]. Although the role of the prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) assay in predicting biopsy outcome has proven beneficial ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-07)Water quality has deteriorated in the upper Olifants River system, South Africa, as a result of land use activities which include mining, agriculture and industries. A health risk assessment was conducted from 2009 to ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2013-08-27)The “common sense” intervention by toxicology journal editors regarding proposed European Union endocrine disrupter regulations ignores scientific evidence and well-established principles of chemical risk assessment. In ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-10)The thoracic cavity is the rarest location of all the renal ectopic sites. We report a rare case of an acquired thoracic kidney associated with a previous congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a child with nephrotic syndrome. ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2013-12-29)BACKGROUND : Although African ancestry represents a significant risk factor for prostate cancer, few studies have investigated the significance of prostate cancer and relevance of previously defined genetic and epidemiological ...
-
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), 2014-06)BACKGROUND : Few studies have examined predictors of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) levels among residents in homes sprayed with DDT for malaria control with the aim of ...
-
(Wiley, 2014-06)BACKGROUND : Compared with White Americans, Black American men are at a significant increased risk of presenting with prostate cancer (PCa) and associated mortality, suggesting a link to African-ancestry. However, PCa ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014-07)Recent estimates indicate thatmalaria has led to over half amillion deathsworldwide,mostly to African children. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticides is one of the primary vector control interventions. However, ...

(Elsevier, 2015-10)In malaria-endemic areas, where DDT is still used for vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS), the concentrations of DDT in human blood and breast milk are high, and there are indications of human health impacts. ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2016)Food is likely to be one of the major pathways through which people are exposed to endocrinedisrupting chemicals. With the exception of residual effects, there are concerns that a number of naturally occurring and synthetic ...
