Abstract The ubiquitous existence of microplastics and nanoplastics raises concerns about their potential impact on the human reproductive system. Limited data exists within system consequences sperm quality. Our objectives were to quantify characterize prevalence composition both canine testes investigate associations with count, weights testis epididymis. Using advanced sensitive pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, we quantified 12 types 47 23 testes. Data organ weights, count...
Rising global concentrations of environmental microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) drive concerns for human exposure health outcomes. Complementary methods the robust detection tissue MNPs, including pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, confirm presence MNPs in kidney, liver brain. these organs primarily consist polyethylene, lesser but significant other...
Micro- (≤ 5 mm) and nano- 1 µm) plastics have become ubiquitous resulting in inevitable human exposure. Evidence exists of mass-based accumulation plastic tissues with visualization micron-sized particles (> µm). To date, there is little evidence to address accumulated nanoplastics. Understanding internalized particle morphological chemical characteristics essential facilitate proper design future mechanistic controlled exposure health effects studies determine whether any health-related...
Background: In recent decades, a global alarming decline in sperm count and quality, coupled with the rise of male reproductive disorders collectively termed "testicular dysgenesis syndrome" (TDS), has prompted investigations into potential environmental factors, including endocrine disruptors. Concurrently, ubiquitous existence microplastics nanoplastics (MNPs), their infiltration human blood circulation, raises profound questions about impact on system. Yet, there is limited data MNPs...
Current guidance recommends that adolescents receive a 2-dose human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, whereas young adults and immunocompromised persons 3 doses. We examined secondary responses of vaccine-elicited memory B cells (Bmem) in naive women receiving doses the quadrivalent HPV vaccine to understand quality B-cell generated by this highly effective vaccine. Unexpectedly, we observed lower Bmem response rate magnitude third dose than booster administered at month 24. Moreover, high...
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the urachus is a rare condition. We present case 51-year-old female who developed abdominal pain and hematuria. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reported an urachal mass with invasion to bladder that was resected by partial cystectomy. On light microscopy tumor resembled liver architecture, polygonal atypical cells in nest formation trabecular structures. Immunochemistry positive for alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) serum AFP elevated. adenocarcinomas have been...

Genomic molecular testing practices in a pediatric tertiary care institution can vary utility by patient indication.To evaluate exome sequencing (ES) ordering and the effects of applying criteria to support ES stewardship. Exome provide diagnostic information for patients with known or suspected genetic diseases, but it is relatively expensive, cost often borne patients, institutions, payers.We examined patterns approved board-certified geneticists at our center, as well preauthorization...
A 32-year-old G3P2002 (3 pregnancies, 2 births at full term, 0 preterm, abortions, still living) pregnant woman of Filipino ancestry was referred to a tertiary institution for severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)4 20 weeks' gestation. Ultrasound showed fetal size uniformly less than expected, with measurements <1% age, small chest, echogenic bowel, thickened nuchal fold, enlarged cisterna magna, and oligohydramnios. The obstetric history relevant healthy children different partner....
Summary: 202 patients having had one vaginal delivery after a prior Caesarean section between 1980 and 1984 were followed‐up to December, 1986; 77 of them came again for during this time. Four elective sections 103 trials labour carried out in patient group. Of these, 88 (85.4%) ended delivery. There was no fetal loss, nor any significant maternal or morbidity; particular there uterine rupture scar dehiscence. It is concluded that the prognosis good once successful trial has occurred, so...
Introduction Albuquerque New Mexico is the “hot air balloon capital of world,” with balloons flying throughout year and during International Balloon Fiesta. The medical literature regarding morbidity mortality in hot accidents relatively scarce. Methods A series fatal, were identified by querying analyzing databases Office Medical Investigator from 1972 to 2021. Results Twenty-one lethal cases 11 evaluated. Fifty-seven percent decedents male, age range was 29 74 years, all White. Causes...
La neuropatía periférica es una complicación presente en menos del 5 % de los casos intoxicación por monóxido carbono. El artículo describe las características clíni- cas tres pacientes que acudieron con síntomas lesión nervio periférico tras estar expuestos a un incendio. Las variaciones clínicas incluyeron debilidad miembros inferiores, parestesias y dolor tipo ardor. Se usaron estudios electrodiagnóstico 14 días evento, cuales mostraron cambios no específicos. Al año uno confirmó...
Introduction: Myofascial pain syndrome is an acute and chronic painful musculoskeletal condition that involves muscle surrounding connective tissue. Trigger point injection a common treatment for this providing long-term relief. The procedure generally safe; however some side effects have been reported including pain, nerve injury, bleeding, infection, pneumothorax. Objective: To report case of patient with myofascial successfully treated by Ultra Sound-guided infiltration trigger in the...
A 31-year-old man presented to the hospital after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest. Despite optimal therapy, patient passed away. His medical history included febrile rash at age 2. At autopsy, there was aneurysmal dilation and severe coronary artery stenosis by atherosclerotic plaques myocardial fibrosis. These findings were presumed be due complications of Kawasaki disease, given remote as toddler presence chronic injury, recanalization, thrombosis with ischemic heart disease leading...
