A bioassay of technical-grade endosulfan for possible carcinogenicity was conducted using Osborne-Mendel rats and B6C3F1 mice. Endosulfan was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species. The time-weighted average high and low dietary concentrations of endosulfan were, respectively, 952 and 408 ppm for the male rats, and 4...

Limited practical recommendations related to wearing compression garments for athletes can be drawn from the literature at the present time. We aimed to identify the effects of compression garments on physiological and perceptual measures of performance and recovery after uphill running with different pressure and distributions of applied compression. In a random, double blinded study, 10 train...
