MICROPLASTICS IN MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COMPOST AND THEIR EFFECTS ON TOMATO PRODUCTIVITY AND YIELD

This thesis explores microplastics (MPs) in municipal waste compost (MSW) and their impact on soil and plant health. MSW, widely used to enhance soil quality, also introduces MPs into agricultural systems, with a limited understanding of their effects on

Trends in Semen Quality: A Contrasting Perspective From a Single‐Centre Review in Ireland

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Male factor contributes up to half of infertility cases and reports of a global decline in semen quality raise concern for the future of male reproductive health. However, fertility trends can vary by region and population. Interpreting local patterns is crucial for understanding the true trajectory of male fertility.

Micro‐Nanoplastics Significantly Increase Adverse Events and Economic Burden Associated With Carotid Endarterectomy: A Health Economic Modelling Evaluation

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Current research reports that micro‐nanoplastics may increase the burden of cardiovascular disease with significant human and economic consequences. The detection of plastic particles in biological matrices is challenging and rigorous research is required to investigate the clinical and broader public health implications of microplastics.

Effects of Common Food Additives Kappa‐, Iota‐ and Lambda‐Carrageenans on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Activation and Barrier Disruption

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Carrageenans, widely used food additives, disrupted intestinal epithelial integrity in a gut‐on‐a‐chip model. All types (κ‐, ɩ‐, λ‐) induced cytotoxicity, inflammation and tight junction (TJ) disruption, triggering TNF‐mediated immune responses. λ‐Carrageenan had the most severe effects, supporting the Epithelial Barrier Theory linking food additives ...
