Fenitrothion uptake and bioconcentration in the European eel(Anguilla anguilla)
1994
Eels (Anguilla anguilla) were exposed to 0.02 mg/L of the organophosphorus pesticide fenitrothion during 144 hours in semi‐static conditions. BCF, intBCF, uptake rate constants (Ku) and elimination rate constants (Kd) of fenitrothion were determined in brain, gills, blood and muscle tissues of the eel. A simple one‐compartment model fitted the uptake and elimination characteristics. Plateau were reached at different times in the different tissues: at 24 hr in gills, 72 hr in brain and blood and 120 hr in muscle tissue. BCF were ranged from 117 for blood to 658 for muscle. Muscle tissue showed the highest BCF, intBCF, Ku and the lowest Kd .
Additional mailing phase for FIT after a medical offer phase: The best way to improve compliance with colorectal cancer screening in France
2017
International audience; Background: Compliance with colorectal cancer screening is critical to its effectiveness. The organisation of the mass screening programme in France has recently been modified with no evaluation of the consequences.Aims: To evaluate the impact of the way the screening test is delivered on compliance.Patients and Methods: During the first six months of the screening campaign (Ille-Vilaine, Brittany), general practitioners were asked to propose a faecal immunochemical test (FIT), OC-Sensor, to individuals at average risk for colorectal cancer (n = 152,097). A subset of non-participants in the medical phase (n = 13,071) was randomly chosen to receive a reminder that inc…
