We assessed the urinary concentration of 16 phthalate metabolites in 57 women with and without uterine leiomyoma (n = 30 and 27; respectively) to determine the association between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma. To evaluate exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP); we calculated the molar sum of DEHP metabolites; ∑3-DEHP (combining mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP); mono-(2-e...

an investigation was carried out on permethrin-susceptible and resistant strain of malaria vector, an.stephensi. efficacy of several pyrethroids such as permetrhrin, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, cypermethrin and cyfluthrin against this species showed that those with an α-cyano group and dibromo substitutions were more toxic to sensitive strains than the other classes like permethrin. the ra...
