Qualitative insights into the experiences of living with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms among community-dwelling ageing males.

Background: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) comprise a highly prevalent chronic condition among the aging male population. Existing literature on the experiences of men with LUTS is scarce given that only a few studies explored medical care-seeking behaviors and coping strategies. The current understanding of the experiences of elderly males with LUTS is considerably limited.

Choroidal metastasis from primary bone leiomyosarcoma.

Choroidal metastases, the most common form of intraocular malignancies, are principally caused by primary tumors from breast, lung, and gastrointestinal tract. These lesions are mostly symptomatic and rarely detected incidentally in the extension study of a previously diagnosed tumor. Leiomyosarcoma is a neoplasm of mesenchymal cells with smooth muscle differentiation and represents the most prevalent soft-tissue sarcoma.

Induction of string rescues the neuroblast proliferation defect in trol mutant animals.

In trol mutants, neuroblasts fail to exit G1 for S phase. Increasing string expression in trol mutants rescues the number of S phase neuroblasts without an increase in M phase neuroblasts. Decreasing string expression further decreased the number of S phase neuroblasts.
