It also correlated positively with female adult height (R2 = .170; P = .0103; β = .1291) and negatively with the occurrence of female osteoporosis (P = .0495). All data were adjusted for age and gender as appropriate (unadjusted data also provided). From a contemporary perspective, vitamin D levels varied significantly according to season of blood sampling as might be predicted (P = .0009). Conclusions: Increased solar irradiance/UV exposure during the first trimester of pregnancy calibrates adult vitamin D metabolism, which is an important hormone in maintaining calcium balance. This may explain how very early lifecycle UV exposure can influence skeletal development (adult height) and modify risk for the skeletal degenerative disorder osteoporosis. The data demonstrate humans are tuned to the world (exposome) in ways we have not yet fully considered, and which are entrained at the earliest phase of the lifecycle.]]> Wed 19 Aug 2020 11:35:44 AEST ]]> Estimation of the mass of microplastics ingested - a pivotal first step towards human health risk assessment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37965 Wed 14 Jul 2021 09:39:31 AEST ]]> Reconceptualising the philosophical foundations of health education with respect to the impact of food technology on human health https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5833 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:27:11 AEST ]]> Surveillance and analysis of avian influenza viruses, Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10519 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:13:51 AEST ]]> Bioaccessibility of barium from barite contaminated soils based on gastric phase in vitro data and plant uptake https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24098 in vitro data for barite contaminated soils using the physiologically based extraction test (PBET) methodology. The existence of barite in plant tissue and the possibility of 'biomineralised' zones was also investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Soils with low barium (Ba) concentrations showed a higher proportion of Ba extractability than barite rich samples. Barium uptake to spinach from soil was different between short term spiking studies and field weathered soils. Furthermore, Ba crystals were not evident in spinach tissue or acid digest solutions grown in barium nitrate spiked soils despite high accumulation. Barite was found in the plant digest solutions from barite contaminated soils only. Results indicate that under the conservative assumptions made, a child would need to consume extreme quantities of soil over an extended period to cause chronic health problems.]]> Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:05:34 AEDT ]]> Beyond the obvious: environmental health implications of polar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34763 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:04:10 AEDT ]]> One Health in South Asia and its challenges in implementation from stakeholder perspective https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32256 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:58:08 AEDT ]]> Bioaccumulation of perfluoroalkyl substances in exploited fish and crustaceans: spatial trends across two estuarine systems https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37663 Tue 09 Mar 2021 18:06:03 AEDT ]]> Linkages between plant rhizosphere and animal gut environments: Interaction effects of pesticides with their microbiomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45300 Thu 27 Oct 2022 09:05:37 AEDT ]]> Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)5 ameliorates influenza infection via inhibition of EGFR signaling https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34512 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:40:35 AEDT ]]> Current issues in gene patenting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2235 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:29:05 AEDT ]]> Complexity and human health: across the health hierarchy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2569 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:51 AEDT ]]> Epidemiological evidence linking tea consumption to human health: a review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17836 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:31 AEDT ]]> Health: a systems - and complexity - based definition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29004 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:19 AEDT ]]> Arsenic and trace elements in groundwater, vegetables and selected food grains from middle gangetic plain-human health perspective https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29775 80%) samples found above BIS and WHO permissible limit, while 28% samples exceeded the previous WHO drinking water guideline (400 µg/L) for manganese (Mn).
