National Korea Maritime and Ocean University Researchers Explore the Impact of Microplastics and Toxin Exposure on Goldfish

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, January 11, 2024

The presence of microplastics, ranging in size from 100 nanometers to 5 millimeters, is particularly concerning.

Key Points: 
  • The presence of microplastics, ranging in size from 100 nanometers to 5 millimeters, is particularly concerning.
  • Another aspect of microplastic pollution, often overlooked but equally dangerous, is their ability to absorb and carry harmful chemicals, such as persistent organic pollutants.
  • Understanding the extent of toxicity and threat posed by the combined impact of exposure to microplastics and other pollutants is, therefore, important.
  • In a recent study now, researchers led by Dr. Cheol Young Choi from National Korea Maritime and Ocean University explored the impact of microplastic and BaP exposure on freshwater goldfish (Carassius auratus), who were exposed to BaP and microplastics individually and in combination, to understand their exposure effects.

MANGOCEUTICALS TO INTRODUCE “PRIME”, POWERED BY KYZATREX®️ (CIII TESTOSTERONE UNDECANOATE CAPSULES), FOR AN FDA APPROVED ORAL TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT) PRODUCT

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, December 13, 2023

KYZATREX, a prescription drug that is used to treat adult men who have low or no testosterone levels due to certain medical conditions, is one of only three FDA approved TRT treatments that is delivered orally--as opposed to the traditional, invasive, and inconvenient injection-based drug delivery protocol. KYZATREX delivers testosterone in a softgel capsule that is absorbed primarily via the lymphatic system, avoiding liver toxicity.

Key Points: 
  • KYZATREX delivers testosterone in a softgel capsule that is absorbed primarily via the lymphatic system, avoiding liver toxicity.
  • Testosterone deficiency is often first recognized through symptoms of fatigue or low energy, decreased sex drive, lower muscle mass and many other negative downstream impacts.
  • PRIME, powered by KYZATREX, can help men restore Testosterone to normal levels and improve how they feel.
  • KYZATREX marks a shift in the treatment paradigm and a meaningful opportunity for patients seeking to restore optimal testosterone levels.

Former Twin Valley VT Student Suing Monsanto for PCB Contamination

Thursday, December 21, 2023

WILMINGTON, Vt., Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A woman who attended Twin Valley Elementary School in Wilmington, Vermont claims in a lawsuit that she was exposed to toxic Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) at the school manufactured by Monsanto and developed health problems, including lymphoma, as a result. Her attorneys from Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman ("Milberg") are also looking to represent others with PCB-related injuries linked to Vermont schools.

Key Points: 
  • Monsanto began making PCBs nearly 100 years ago and manufactured commercial PCBs that were used in schools like Twin Valley through the 1970s.
  • Plaintiff Kristy Crawford, who attended Twin Valley Elementary from 1982 to 1990, has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and reproductive issues.
  • In 2020, the Vermont Department of Health reported PCB contamination at Burlington High School, where PCB levels in some areas were ten times higher than EPA recommended indoor air levels.
  • We want you to know that we hear your concerns about possible PCB exposure, and we're here for you."
