Microplastic: Characteristics, exposure pathways, toxicity, and implication for human health
No full textMicroplastics particles ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm, have gained attention for their omnipresence in marine environments and potential health risks. Initially recognized in the 1990s, microplastics are classified as primary (designed for microscopic dimensions) or secondary (resulting from degradation). Exposure pathways include ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, with sources ranging from food and beverages to personal care products. These particles possess unique properties, facilitating their interaction with organic contaminants and potential bioaccumulation in marine life. Their small size allows them to infiltrate ecosystems, raising concerns about their impacts on human health. Studies suggest associations between microplastic exposure and health issues such as inflammatory bowel disease and neurodevelopmental. Microplastics exhibit toxicity through mechanisms like oxidative stress induction and disruption of neurotransmitter levels. They have been detected in human tissues, including the brain, raising concerns about potential neurological impacts. To comprehend the effects on health over time, additional research is required, including biopersistence and tissue accumulation. Regulatory measures and consumer awareness initiatives are crucial to mitigate microplastic pollution and minimize health risks. Strategies to reduce plastic production, enhance recycling, and develop microplastic removal technologies are vital for protecting both human health and the environment. In summary, microplastics pose significant health risks due to their widespread presence and potential toxicity. Understanding their impacts and implementing effective mitigation strategies are essential for safeguarding human health and environmental integrity
Diagnosis and imaging of diaphragmatic eventration: A case report
No full textBackground: Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare disorder that is typically found by accident in asymptomatic patients with a raised hemidiaphragm on chest X-rays. Both acquired and developmental defects can cause diaphragmatic eventration. The imaging methods for diaphragmatic eventration are numerous. Chest radiography should be done when there is clinical suspicion; this can be further confirmed with a chest computed tomography (CT). Case presentation: We present a case of a 37 years old woman with a left sided diaphragm eventration presenting as dyspnea and epigastrical discomfort. The diagnosis was made with chest x-ray and then confirmed with a chest CT scans. Discussion: There are several modalities to choose in diaphragmatic imaging. Chest x-ray is the main imaging method for diagnosing diaphragm eventration, in rare cases, a eventration needs to be differentiated using CT or MRI. Other imaging methods such as fluoroscopy and ultrasonography may be used in some instances to assess diaphragm function. Conclusions: There are various methods available in the field of diaphragmatic imaging. Certain methods, like CT and plain chest radiographs, concentrate on the anatomic anomalies of the diaphragm that may indicate dysfunction. Some instruments, including fluoroscopy and ultrasonography, are more appropriate for functional imaging
