Microplastic particles have been found in a variety of food commodities, and fisheries and aquaculture products seem to be one of the main contributors to the dietary exposure of microplastics, which are complex mixes of chemicals, containing polymers, plastics additivities, and environmental contaminants. The implications for food safety are not well understood. The lack of simple and efficient analytical techniques for the determination of microplastics as well as their additives in food are some of the challenges. To improve the understanding of the methods available for the determination of plastic additives, a systematic literature review was conducted focusing on methods to determine those plastic additives known for their possible endocrine disruption and/or carcinogenic activity, such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol S (BPS), 4- nonylphenol (NP-4), nonylphenol (NP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in fisheries and aquaculture products. The review aimed to identify the most common extraction and determination methods used for these analytes and assess their efficiency. The findings of this review shed light on the current state of analytical methodologies in this field and provide insights that could inform and guide further research.

Background: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial, particularly regarding the method of fixation. The primary aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes following treatment with 1-plate versus 2-plate fixation across two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. The secondary aim was to evaluate associations between patient-, trauma-, and procedure-specific factors with postoperative complications and to identify high-risk patients for secondary osteosynthesis.

Introduction: medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using an autologous quadriceps tendon graft to treat patellofemoral dislocation in the pediatric population is a surgical alternative that may offer advantages compared to other types of grafts. We assessed clinical and functional outcomes, rate of return to sport, and complications in a cohort of pediatric patients.
Material And Methods: retrospective and descriptive cohort study.

Phase separation has been discovered as a new form of regulation in innate immunity. Here, we found that IL6Ra in teleost fish has a unique intrinsic disordered region (IDR) in its amino acid sequence, distinguishing it from the IL6Ra of higher vertebrates. This unique feature endows IL6Ra with the ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, enabling the organism to swiftly initiate an immune response at the early stages of viral infection.

Objective: Accurate prediction of the initial severity of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is important for effective management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IA). This study aims to investigate patient and IA characteristics as pre-rupture predictors of severe aSAH.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included all patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with acute aSAH at our center between January 2003 and June 2016.

Tires are complex polymeric materials composed of rubber elastomers (both natural and synthetic), fillers, steel wire, textiles, and a range of antioxidant and curing systems. These constituents are distributed differently among the various tire parts, which are classified based on their function and proximity to the rim. This study presents a rapid and sensitive approach for the characterization of tire components using mild thermal desorption/pyrolysis (TDPy) coupled to direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS).
