The clinical trial of alternative relugolix administration for uterine leiomyoma prior to surgically treatment: a study protocol for Non-Adverse Relugolix Administration (NARA) trial.

Background: Uterine leiomyomas are common for reproductive-aged women and affect women's quality of life due to heavy menstrual bleeding or dysmenorrhea. Leiomyomas grow according to estradiol exposure and decrease after post-menopause. In case serious symptoms are caused by leiomyomas, pharmacotherapy or surgical treatment is proposed.

Isolation of thymidine-dependent and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli small-colony variant from urine of a septuagenarian female patient with recurrent cystitis: A case report with genetic investigation.

Thymidine-dependent small-colony variant (TD-SCV) of Escherichia coli was isolated from urine of a septuagenarian female patient on hemodialysis suffering from recurrent cystitis. The patient had been treated with frequent administrations of trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (SXT), every time her cystitis symptoms developed. In the TD-SCV isolate, the deletion was detected in the thyA gene associated with thymidylate synthase.
