Environmentally relevant atrazine exposure leads to increases in DNA damage and changes in morphology in the hepatopancreas of crayfish ().

The herbicide atrazine is widely used for controlling broad leaf weeds and increasing crop yields in agricultural areas. Atrazine enters aquatic environments through runoff, ground water discharge and seepage where concentrations have been recorded above 300 ppb. Exposure to the herbicide atrazine at environmentally relevant concentrations has been shown to negatively impact aquatic organisms, including crayfish.

Association of request for opioid medications refill after hospital discharge with race in patients with prostate cancer treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Background And Objective: Request for refills of opioids is one of the indicators of possible misuse. We aimed to investigate racial variations in request for refills of opioids after hospital discharge from robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of a contemporary cohort of patients treated with RALP for prostate cancer and post-operative standardized pain control that employed nonopioid medications.
