J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
September 2017
The transverse vaginal septum is a rare form of Mullerian duct anomaly, and is a disorder of vertical fusion of Mullerian system with the sinovaginal bulb. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)is very useful in the detection, classification and management planning of this rare anomaly. We present two cases of transverse vaginal septum in two patients of different age groups and with different clinical presentations.

- Phthalate esters (PAEs), commonly used as plasticizers, pose serious environmental health risks as some are suspected mutagens and carcinogens due to their leaching into the environment during production and disposal.
- A study identified 10 types of PAEs leaching from various drinking sources, with significant amounts found in water cooler and baby feeder samples, particularly noting that boiling reduced leaching by 26-54%.
- Additionally, a biodegradation experiment using Bacillus thuringiensis showed it effectively degraded 75-96% of the leached PAEs under optimal conditions, highlighting the need for urgent remediation strategies.
