Root canal sealers are commonly used to endodontically treat teeth with periapical infections. Some root canal sealers based on epoxy resin contain bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE). The presence of these chemicals is of concern due to the close contact to the blood stream at the apex and the long setting...

Guidelines are in place to assure limited occupational exposure to cytostatic drugs. Even though this has led to a reduction in exposure, several studies reported quantifiable concentrations of these compounds in healthcare workers. In this study, we evaluated occupational exposure to cytostatic drugs in hospital workers from the University Hospita...

Colistin (polymyxin E) is a polycation antibiotic which is increasingly used (administered as colistin methanesulfonate, CMS) as a salvage therapy in critically ill patients with multidrug resistant Gram-negative infections. Even though colistin has been used for more than 50 years, its metabolic fate is poorly understood. One of the current challe...

One-dimensional (1D) proton-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy is an established technique for measuring small molecules in a wide variety of complex biological sample types. It is demonstrably reproducible, easily automatable and consequently ideal for routine and large-scale application. However, samples containing proteins, lipids,...

Whereas urine and blood are typically targeted in clinical research, saliva represents an interesting alternative because its intrinsic metabolome is chemically diverse and reflective for various biological processes. Moreover, saliva collection is easy and noninvasive, which is especially valuable for cohorts in which sample collection is challeng...

The standard approach to detect misuse with testosterone in sport is based on the determination and evaluation of the urinary steroid profile followed by the confirmation of atypical profiles using isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The detection capacity of these methods can be attenuated by confounding factors or testosterone preparations with endo...

Alpha-zearalenol (α-ZEL) and its masked form α-zearalenol-14 glucoside (α-ZEL-14G) have much higher oestrogenic activity than zearalenone. Owing to very limited toxicokinetic and metabolic data, no reference points could be established for risk assessment. To circumvent it, the toxicokinetic, metabolic profiles, and phenotyping of α-ZEL and α-ZEL-1...

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is used as doping a substance. Anti-doping efforts include urine and blood testing and monitoring the athlete biological passport (ABP). As data on the performance of these methods are incomplete, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of two common urine assays and the ABP. In a randomized, double-bl...

There is a growing need for low-cost, portable technologies for the detection of threats to the environment and human health. Here we propose a label-free, optical whole-cell Escherichia coli biosensor for the detection of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), a biomarker for monitoring human exposure to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. The biosensor fu...
