The presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is increasing due to their growing use for human health. Although most studies are based on short exposures to these contaminants, the present study has emerged from the need to study pharmaceuticals in aquatic organisms over a long-term exposure to understand any multi-generational chronic effects and alterations regarding habitat selection. Therefore, this study shows: (1) the ability of Daphnia magna to colonize environments contaminated with caffeine, ibuprofen and fluoxetine, and (2) the effect of these pharmaceuticals on reproduction and habitat selection (under two scenarios: with and without food) after a long-term exposure period of three generations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on an innovative thermosensitive quadpolymer designed for injection to deliver anti-fibrotic drugs, specifically targeting uterine fibroids while potentially preserving fertility.
  • The quadpolymer functions as an injectable solution at room temperature and transforms into a stable gel at body temperature, allowing for sustained release of the drug pirfenidone.
  • Results showed that the pirfenidone-loaded quadpolymer effectively inhibited fibroid cell proliferation, indicating its potential as a localized treatment option for uterine fibroid therapy.
