Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of two sizes of polystyrene nanoplastics (20 nm and 80 nm) on rainbow trout and gilthead seabream cell lines, finding that 20 nm nanoplastics are more toxic.
- Cells exposed to 20 nm PS-NPs exhibited significant structural damage and signs of apoptosis over time, while 80 nm PS-NPs were less harmful.
- The research also identified disruptions in critical biological pathways at both sublethal and lethal doses of the smaller nanoplastics, highlighting the environmental risks posed by nanoplastics in aquatic ecosystems.
Incidence data from 17-year veterinary neoplasm surveillance and registration were reviewed. Most of the neoplastic cases diagnosed in Nigerian veterinary teaching hospitals (VTHs) were in the avian (49%) and canine species (44%). Fewer cases were recorded in the equine (3.

With the development of Lp(a)-lowering therapies, this study sought to characterise patterns of Lp(a) levels in a global ASCVD population and identify racial, ethnic, regional and gender differences.
Methods: A multicentre cross-sectional epidemiological study to estimate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in patients with a history of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke or peripheral artery disease conducted at 949 sites in 48 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, South Africa and Australia between April 2019 and July 2021.
Bed availability remains a constant struggle for tertiary care centers resulting in the use of management protocols to streamline patient care and reduce length of stay (LOS). A standardized perioperative management protocol for uncomplicated acute appendicitis (UA) was implemented in April 2014 to decrease both CT scan usage and LOS. Patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for UA from April 2012 to May 2013 (PRE group) and April 2014 to May 2015 (POST group) were compared retrospectively.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with knee osteoarthritis were recruited for the study. The affected knee was not trained while the unaffected quadriceps group of muscles was trained for 6 weeks using isometric contraction exercises.
