Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) encompasses a group of disorders affecting post-ganglionic fibers derived from the L1-S4 roots. The differential diagnosis is challenging and includes other neuropathies of medullary, radicular, or peripheral origin. Defining the etiology is equally crucial, as LSP management relies on its cause.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to determine a safe environmental concentration (MAC-EQS) for the agricultural fungicide azoxystrobin (AZX) using different toxicity assessment methods for freshwater and marine environments.
  • - Results showed significant variability in species sensitivity, with the most sensitive freshwater and marine species identified, leading to a recommended MAC-EQS value of 1.8 μg/L, derived from marine data.
  • - The study concluded that AZX poses a high risk to aquatic ecosystems, suggesting improvements in ecological risk assessments for pesticide approval to better protect aquatic organisms.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Cristiano Gante"

  • Cristiano Gante's recent research focuses on two distinct areas: the complexities of lumbosacral plexopathy related to radiation exposure and the environmental impact of agricultural fungicides, particularly azoxystrobin.
  • In his 2023 article on radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy, Gante highlights the diagnostic challenges and the crucial need for accurate etiology identification to guide effective management.
  • His earlier work, published in 2017, involved determining and validating environmental quality standards for azoxystrobin, emphasizing the application of toxicity assessments to safeguard aquatic ecosystems from agricultural chemical impacts.
