Guidance on minimum information requirements (MIR) from designing to reporting ...
Jeddi, Maryam Zare; Galea, Karen S.; Ashley-Martin, Jillian; Nassif, Julianne; Pollock, Tyler; Poddalgoda, Devika; Kasiotis, Konstantinos M.Human biomonitoring (HBM) provides an integrated chemical exposures assessment considering all routes and sources of exposure. The accurate interpretation and comparability of biomarkers of exposure and effect depend on harmonized, quality-assured sampling, processing, and analysis. Currently, the lack of broadly accepted guidance on minimum information required for collecting and reporting HBM data, hinders co...
Efficiency, optimality, and selection in a rigid actuation system with matching...
Ghaffar, Asim; Rahman, Muhammad Zia Ur; Leiva, Víctor; Martin-Barreiro, Carlos; Ali, Imran; Cabezas, Xavier; Castro, CeciliaSelecting the right actuator for a portable exoskeleton involves a comprehensive evaluation of various design characteristics. In this study, we introduce a methodology for actuator selection based on specific tasks, enhancing the practical adoption of portable exoskeletons. By examining a range of candidate actuators designed for lower limb exoskeletons, our objective is to engineer a system that is both light...
Developing human biomonitoring as a 21st century toolbox within the European Ex...
Jeddi, Maryam Zare; Hopf, Nancy B.; Louro, Henriqueta; Viegas, Susana; Galea, Karen S.; Pasanen-Kase, Robert; Santonen, Tiina; Mustieles, VicenteHuman biomonitoring (HBM) is a crucial approach for exposure assessment, as emphasised in the European Commission’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). HBM can help to improve chemical policies in five major key areas: (1) assessing internal and aggregate exposure in different target populations; 2) assessing exposure to chemicals across life stages; (3) assessing combined exposure to multiple chemical...

Towards a systematic use of effect biomarkers in population and occupational bi...
Zare Jeddi, Maryam; Hopf, Nancy B.; Viegas, Susana; Price, Anna Bal; Paini, Alicia; van Thriel, Christoph; Benfenati, Emilio; Ndaw, Sophie; Bessems, JosEffect biomarkers can be used to elucidate relationships between exposure to environmental chemicals and their mixtures with associated health outcomes, but they are often underused, as underlying biological mechanisms are not understood. We aim to provide an overview of available effect biomarkers for monitoring chemical exposures in the general and occupational populations and highlight their potential in mon...
