Microplastic pollution threatens aquatic ecosystems and food webs. Here, we present a protocol for extracting microplastics from freshwater, sediment, and fish digestive system samples. We collect water using manta nets, sample sediment with benthic grabs, and dissect fish to isolate digestive organs.

BackgroundMany oral medications are manufactured as solid dosage forms, posing challenges for patients with dysphagia-including older adults and children-and creating occupational hazards for healthcare workers who must crush or manipulate hazardous drugs. Existing methods for preparing such medications often involve open systems, exposing staff to cytotoxic agents and risking cross-contamination.ObjectiveTo develop and evaluate a novel, single-use closed-system drug-transfer device (CSTD) designed to crush and dissolve or suspend solid oral medications within a sealed environment, enhancing safety for healthcare workers and improving medication access for patients with swallowing difficulties.

Mycotoxin in grape and its products (wine, raisin) is a widely concerned issue of food safety, it closely associated with consumers' health. In this study, an analytical strategy by combining second-order calibration method with excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence detection followed photo derivatization (PD) was explored for rapid and sensitive analysis of aflatoxin B (AFB), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA) in grape, raisin and wine. Except simple solvent extraction by ethyl acetate and concentration by vacuum distillation, samples don't need other complicated treatment steps any more.

We report a rare case of peripartum pontine stroke in a 34-year-old primipara initially attributed to an episode of severe transient hypotension caused by the subdural spread of local anesthetic during epidural analgesia for delivery. The rapid intrapartum intervention by the obstetric team because of spinal shock clinical pictures and fetal bradycardia using high vacuum extraction prevented the risk of fetal ischemic-hypoxic damage. A healthy child was born with an Apgar score of 8/10, 3790 grams /53 cm, with a normal neonatal course.

Background: Vacuum-assisted delivery is widely used in operative vaginal deliveries but carries a risk of rare yet severe complications. Computational simulations offer a promising way to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these injuries. However, these simulations remain insufficiently validated experimentally and have not yet been applied to vacuum extraction.
