Cystic endometrium on ultrasound scan: Sonographic-hysteroscopic-pathologic correlation.

Objective: To assess the correlation between ultrasound findings of cystic endometrium and hysteroscopic and histopathologic findings.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed across two London hospital sites between January and December 2020.

Results: The percentage chance of having either endometrial hyperplasia or cancer was lower in our cohort of women with postmenopausal bleeding and ultrasound findings of cystic endometrium, compared with population estimates for women with postmenopausal bleeding alone (4.

Genetic identification of nascent peptides that induce ribosome stalling.

Several nascent peptides stall ribosomes during their own translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Leader peptides that induce stalling can regulate downstream gene expression. Interestingly, stalling peptides show little sequence similarity and interact with the ribosome through distinct mechanisms.

Xerostomia and medications among 32-year-olds.

Objective: To describe the prevalence and associations of xerostomia among adults in their early thirties, with particular attention to medication exposure as a putative risk factor.

Material And Methods: The prevalence and associations of xerostomia were investigated among 32-year-old participants in a long-standing prospective cohort study. Some 950 individuals were assessed at ages 26 and 32 years, with medications being recorded on both occasions.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor in ascitic fluid. A case report.

Background: There are few published data on the cytologic features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in ascitic fluid and whether these features may mimic those of other malignancies.

Case: An 80-year-old woman presented with ascitics associated with multiple intraperitoneal masses. Cytologic examination of the ascitic fluid showed numerous three-dimensional clusters of epithelioid cells.
