Comparison of macrolitter and meso- and microplastic pollution on French riverbanks and coastal beaches using citizen science with schoolchildren.

Rivers are the major source of anthropogenic litter entering the ocean, especially plastic debris that accumulates in all ecosystems around the world and poses a risk to the biota. Reliable data on distribution, abundance, and types of stranded plastics are needed, especially on riverbanks that have received less attention than coastal beaches. Here, we present the citizen science initiative Plastique à la loupe (Plastic under the magnifier), which compares for the first time the distribution of different litter sizes (macrolitter and meso- and microplastics) over 81 riverbanks and 66 coastal beaches sampled in France between 2019 and 2021.

Objective: This study analyzes the impact of fat grafting on pulp sensitivity disorders in patients who experienced fingertip injuries and developed cold intolerance and hyperesthesia.

Material/method: Patients over 10 years old were evaluated using the two-point discriminant score (2PDS), the monofilament test, and the McCabe Cold Sensitivity Severity Scale (CSS) before and after surgery at 3, 6, and 12 months. Other evaluations included the Quick Dash scale (Q-dash), the aesthetics and pain improvement, and patient satisfaction.

Microplastics are detected in bull epididymal sperm and polystyrene microparticles impair sperm fertilization†.

An increase in global infertility has coincided with the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the environment. This trend is particularly troubling because only 10% of male infertility cases can be attributed to identifiable causes, leaving a knowledge gap in our understanding of their underlying factors. To bridge this, it is important to explore the connection between the accumulation of MPs and the observed decline in male fertility.

Charcot's neuroarthropathy complicated by calcaneal osteomyelitis can be difficult to treat. Various surgical techniques describe how to manage these conditions. Eggshell-type debridement with application of antibiotic-impregnated bone substitute is a viable option that eliminates infected bone and allows staged reconstructive surgery.
