    Abstract The toxicity of bottom sediments from some areas of the Peter the Great Gulf has been studied using bioassay with embryos and larvae of the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis (Agassiz, 1864). Based on a calculation of the Integrative Toxicity Index (ITI), different inhibition rates of early larval development are identified in elutriate from the bottom sediments. The effects are the most negative in the coastal zone of Vladivostok in Gornostay Bay (Ussuriysky Bay) and in Koz’mina Bay (Nakhodka Bay). Larvae in elutriate from them were characterized by significant anomalies, and the ITI was maximal (ITI = 10). A high percentage of abnormally developed larvae was detected in a sample from Pod’yapol’skogo Bay (ITI = 6.08). The results of the study confirm the decrease in the anthropogenic load on the Peter the Great Gulf, except for local areas adjacent to sea ports and a reclaimed solid domestic waste landfill.

    Abstract Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are an increasingly attractive option for renewable energy storage, thus providing flexibility for the supply of electrical energy. In recent years, research in this type of battery storage has been shifted from metal-ion based electrolytes to soluble organic redox-active compounds. Aqueous-based organic electrolytes are considered as more promising electrolytes to achieve "green", safe, and low-cost energy storage. Many organic compounds and their derivatives have recently been intensively examined for application to redox flow batteries. This work presents an up-to-date overview of the redox organic compound groups tested for application in aqueous RFB. In the initial part, the most relevant requirements for technical electrolytes are described and discussed. The importance of supporting electrolytes selection, the limits for the aqueous system, and potential synthetic strategies for redox molecules are highlighted. The different organic redox couples described in the literature are grouped in a "family tree" for organic redox couples. This article is designed to be an introduction to the field of organic redox flow batteries and aims to provide an overview of current achievements as well as helping synthetic chemists to understand the basic concepts of the technical requirements for next-generation energy storage materials.

    Abstract Intersex/Disorders/Differences of sex development conditions have been recognized for millennia. An organized approach was adopted in the 1960-70s using the philosophy that gender identity was fluid and malleable. Consequences of this approach were the lack of disclosure, stigmatization, and excessive surgery to "normalize" the genitalia. Often this led to quality of life issues for those patients. There have been many modifications in approach since then to avoid the problems noted. There is consensus on many of these changes (e.g. disclosure) but continued controversy on others (e.g. the benefits of early surgery). This review summarizes the historical context and the current areas of consensus and controversy.

  4. Article ; Online: Extensive Literature Review of 46, XX Newborns with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and Severe Genital Masculinization: Should They be Assigned and Reared Male?

    Abstract 46, XX individuals born with severely masculinized genitals due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) who have been assigned males at birth and reared male can successfully establish a male gender identity/role, find employment, marry, function sexually with a female partner, and develop positive mental health status. While there were a few individuals who reportedly did not fare well or who changed gender to female, the majority of those identifying as males appear to have an overall good quality of life. Parental/family support, along with the support of others, appears essential to a positive outcome as a male or as a female. Reasons are given to support why serious consideration of a male gender assignment and rearing, in certain situations, is justified and should be seriously considered. Disorders of Sex Differentiation (DSD) teams should inform parents of the option of male assignment and rearing in 46, XX CAH infants with severe genital masculinization, a rare condition. To provide this option is concordant with the principles of ethics, transparency and with the Endocrine Society Guidelines and the American Academy of Pediatrics' policy of fully informed consent.

    Abstract Testes were associated with maleness from antiquity, and ancient societies had fanciful myths about the origins of the sexes and about fetal sexual development. 17th century anatomists developed the concept that mammals developed from eggs and discovered sperm in semen; in 1878, Hertwig observed sperm entering eggs (of sea urchins), establishing the cellular basis of sex development. Individuals with atypical genitalia were known clinically in the 17th century, with much debate about their origins, but by the late 19th century it was generally accepted that gonads determined sex, and that sex determined gender role. Testosterone was isolated in 1935, and Alfred Jost showed that both circulating testosterone and diffusible anti-Mullerian hormone were needed for male development. Patients with apparent androgen insensitivity were reported in 1937 and shown to be unresponsive to exogenous androgen by Lawson Wilkins in 1957; androgen receptor mutations were reported in 1989. Steroidogenic errors were associated with differences in sex development (DSDs) starting in the 1940s, and finding mutations in the responsible enzymes explained many forms of hyper- and hypo-androgenism in both sexes. Sex chromosomes were identified in the early 20th century; Y was associated with maleness, and the responsible SRY gene was identified in 1991. Early efforts to manage patients with DSDs were confounded by philosophical perspectives on the relative roles of prenatal biology versus postnatal environment. Approaches to natal sex assignment evolved in the later 20th century and now emphasize a team approach based on data, not guessing, parental involvement, cultural considerations, and the acknowledgement of uncertainty.
