Mar Pollut Bull
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Cigarette butts (CBs) are significant pollutants, and this study investigates their effects on Artemia franciscana in different temperature conditions, highlighting the environmental challenges they pose.
- The research included acute and sub-chronic exposure tests to assess toxicity levels of smoked and non-smoked cigarette butts at temperatures of 25°C and 30°C.
- Findings revealed that higher temperatures increased toxicity, disrupting crucial biological functions like enzyme activity and promoting oxidative damage, underscoring the need to address CB pollution in the context of climate change.
Introduction: Several techniques can be used to accomplish the ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation. A ureteral catheter is a prophylactic measure to avoid urological complications (UC) of stenosis and/or fistula. In this study we evaluate the influence of using a ureteral stent upon the rate of UC in renal transplantation.
