Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the current practices in the diagnosis and surgical management of anorectal malformations (ARMs) in female patients in Japan, specifically focusing on anovestibular fistula (AVF), rectovaginal fistula (RVF), and persistent cloaca (PC).
Methods: An anonymous online survey was conducted with 61 institutional members of the Japanese Study Group for Anorectal Anomalies.
Results: Sixty-one institutions (100%) completed the survey.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pose severe environmental and public health risks due to their harmful and persistent nature. Therefore, developing sustainable and effective methods for PAH remediation is crucial. This study explores the biostimulation potential of various nutrient supplements in enhancing the metabolic activities of indigenous oleophilic bacteria to PAH degradation and removal.

Microplastics (MPs) are found even in remote and low-pollution freshwater ecosystems. However, the microbial communities associated with MPs in these environments remain poorly understood. We characterized the plastisphere in a low-pollution riverine ecosystem and evaluated the influence of different MPs in the persistence of pathogens in such environments.

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the hospital sector as well as in the natural environment is a problem that affects both high-income countries (HICs) and low-/middle-income countries (LMICs). The observed differences in the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains between HICs and LMICs can be attributed mainly to antibiotic consumption in healthcare facilities and the quantity of treated wastewater. Hospital wastewater is a major hotspot for the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and carbapenem resistance genes (CRGs) between the hospital sector and the environment.
