Synovial sarcoma of the larynx, a rare and unusual entity. Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a high-grade malignancy, accounting for 2.5-3.5 % of all primary H&N sarcomas and 0.

Teabag-derived micro/nanoplastics (true-to-life MNPLs) as a surrogate for real-life exposure scenarios.

The potential health implications of environmental micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs) are increasingly concerning. Beyond environmental exposure, other sources such as food packaging, including herbal/teabags, may also be significant. This study investigates the release of MNPLs from three commercially available teabags.

Hazard assessment of nanoplastics is driven by their surface-functionalization. Effects in human-derived primary endothelial cells.

During plastic waste degradation into micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs) their physicochemical characteristics including surface properties (charge, functionalization, biocorona, etc.) can change, potentially affecting their biological effects. This paper focuses on the surface functionalization of MNPLs to determine if it has a direct impact on the toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic interactions in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), at different exposure times.

Ileocecal intussusception as presentation for ascending colon carcinoma. Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Intussusception is described as invagination of a segment of the bowel into the lumen of an adjacent segment. Although it is the most frequent cause of intestine obstruction during childhood, it is unusual in adulthood, where intussusception represents 1% of all intestine obstructions and 5 % of all intussusceptions.

Case Presentation: A 64-year-old female presented with a history of weight loss, intermittent diarrhea, and occasional transrectal bleeding.

The release of polylactic acid nanoplastics (PLA-NPLs) from commercial teabags. Obtention, characterization, and hazard effects of true-to-life PLA-NPLs.

This study investigates MNPLs release from commercially available teabags and their effects on both undifferentiated monocultures of Caco-2 and HT29 and in the in vitro model of the intestinal Caco-2/HT29 barrier. Teabags were subjected to mechanical and thermodynamic forces simulating the preparation of a cup of tea. The obtained dispersions were characterized using TEM, SEM, DLS, LDV, NTA, and FTIR.
