The decreased activity of acetylcholinesterase reinforces the neurotoxic action in groups exposed to PLA BioMPs. The current study has confirmed the initial hypothesis and is an insight about the toxicity of these biopolymers in D. rerio larvae, since it deepens the discussion about the environmental risk of these substances in freshwater…[Read more]

014). Presence of EM on the cameral surface was associated with a lower baseline IOP. Fused trabecular beams were associated with higher baseline IOP. The TM was significantly thicker in eyes with IOP >20 mm Hg at presentation (1.86±0.7 mm vs 1.3±0.47 mm, p=0.0356). Eyes with IOP ≤14 mm Hg at final follow-up had lower TEC count than eyes with IOP…[Read more]

Patients who developed SSI during their index admission had a longer length of stay (11days vs. 4days) but there was no difference in delayed discharge or complications between patients with and without SSI, suggesting that a previously described association between SSI and increased length of stay may be due to observational bias.…[Read more]
