Prostate cancer tumors can contain microplastics

An evaluation of 10 men with prostate cancer found 90% had microplastics in their tumors, with concentrations more than double that found in surrounding benign prostate tissue.
The data, which will be presented at ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, highlight growing concerns about potential health effects of microplastics.
“We all should be worried about the amount of plastics we’re exposed to,” Stacy Loeb, MD, MSc, professor of urology and population health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, told Healio.
Healio previously reported that individuals who had microplastics and nanoplastics in

Demonstration of unilateral biportal endoscopy microdiscectomy

In this video is a surgical demonstration of a left sided L4/5 unilateral biportal endoscopy microdiscectomy in a 43-year-old man with profound and progressive neurologic weakness.
According to Puranjay Gupta, BS; Aimen A. Khan, BS; Aryan Patel, BS; Noah A. Pogonitz, BS; Sehajvir Singh, BS; and Kern Singh, MD, unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) enables enhanced illumination and magnification with reduced tissue trauma. Indications for UBE lumbar discectomy are symptomatic lumbar disc herniation, radiculopathy or neural compression unresponsive to conservative management. Contraindications

Elevation of the paraspinal musculature

In this video, tubular dilators are used to gently subperiosteally elevate the paraspinal musculature in unilateral biportal endoscopy, creating the surgical working corridor.
According to Puranjay Gupta, BS; Aimen A. Khan, BS; Aryan Patel, BS; Noah A. Pogonitz, BS; Sehajvir Singh, BS; and Kern Singh, MD, the endoscope sheath is then gently inserted, ensuring it remains outside the interlaminar space.

Biopredictors for poor omalizumab response in chronic urticaria

Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria and positive CU Index results or a combination of low IgE and low blood histamine content were more likely to have a poor response to omalizumab, according to a recently published data.
These predictors may help guide patients to more effective treatment, Sarbjit S. Saini, MD, professor, division of allergy and immunology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
The retrospective study analyzed data from the Asteria I, Asteria II and Glacial phase 3 clinical

Planetary health diet adherence tied to lower incident CKD risk

The EAT-Lancet planetary health diet may reduce chronic kidney disease risks, particularly for individuals with specific genetic variants and those with certain environmental health challenges, according to study data.
Plant-based diets have emerged as a potential modifier for reducing CKD risks, according to Fan Fan Hou, MD, PhD, and Xianhui Qin, MD, of the division of nephrology at Nanfang Hospital-Southern Medical University in China, and colleagues, whose study was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The EAT-Lancet planetary health diet is similar to other plant-based
