Microplastics in the Oceans: Current Levels and Future Projections

Leave a Comment / All / By

Recent studies have reported the presence of pelagic plastic fragments with diameters <5 mm in the open oceans including polar waters, marginal seas, and coastal waters. Importantly, micro plastics might act as a transport vector of chemical pollutants into the marine ecosystem, due to the absorption of pollutants onto their surfaces. Methodology The researchers conducted surveys …

Kidney Stones: A Potential Indicator of Fracture Risk in Chronic Kidney Disease

Leave a Comment / Articles, English Articles / By

Introduction This study investigates the association between kidney stones and the risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The introduction provides background on how CKD patients have a higher risk of osteoporotic fracture compared to the general population, and how bone mineral density alone has limitations in predicting fracture risk. The …
