Article Synopsis
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a highly versatile and cost-effective polymer made from over 50% chlorine, widely used in construction, medical applications, and electrical cables.
- Although PVC recycling is feasible when collected and sorted properly, it poses challenges when mixed with other plastic waste, complicating the recycling process.
- The review explores various end-of-life (EoL) strategies for PVC, highlighting technical and legal challenges in recycling, particularly in Europe, and suggests that effective handling requires a combination of policies, sorting methods, and technology.
Purpose: Rectal spacers have gained popularity as a dose-sparing material for prostate cancer radiation therapy (RT). However, the procedure can be associated with unintended rectal wall infiltration (RWI) of the spacer gel. We therefore classified RWI severity as a function of depth and explored its association with rectal toxicity using a data set from prostate cancer patients treated with RT on a prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT).

As such, we performed multi-omic analysis of UTUC tumors to identify molecular features associated with disease recurrence and response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).
Methods: Targeted DNA and whole transcriptome RNA sequencing was performed on 100 UTUC tumors collected from patients undergoing nephroureterectomy.
EVALUATION OF OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN GIRLS WITH PREMATURE THELARCHE AND PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY.

Context: Oxidative products take part in various physiological processes and overproduction of oxidative products is involved in the etiology of many diseases.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate thiol-disulfide homeostasis (TDH); one of the oxidative stress parameters, in girls with premature thelarche (PT) and precocious puberty (PP).
Design: This case-control study was conducted between January 2022 and July 2022.
