Casting a shadow upon marine ecosystems worldwide, microplastic pollution emerges as a formidable threat, yet its repercussions on commercially significant marine fish remain largely unexplored. This investigation delves into the realm of microplastic contamination within three tuna species (Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus tonggol, and Auxis rochei) inhabiting Malaysian waters, with a keen focus on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), gills, and edible muscle. These species were chosen due to their significant ecological roles and considerable commercial value, being extensively fished and widely consumed across global regions.

Background: Supervised Teaching Clinics (STCs) have emerged as an innovative approach to medical education, particularly in specialties like gynecology, where hands-on experience is crucial. Traditional clinical rotations often leave students in passive roles, limiting their active participation and the development of essential clinical skills.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of STCs on the clinical competencies and professional development of medical students within a gynecological clinic, comparing the outcomes with those of traditional clinic shadowing.

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and challenging subset of the more frequently encountered urothelial carcinomas (UCs), comprising roughly 5-7% of all UCs and less than 10% of all renal tumors. Hematuria is a common presenting symptom in the emergency setting, often prompting imaging to rule out serious etiologies, with UTUC especially posing as a diagnostic challenge. These UTUC lesions of the kidney and ureter are often small, mimicking other pathologies, and are more aggressive than typical UC of the bladder, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis.
