Stromal-epithelial communication is an absolute necessity when it comes to the morphogenesis and pathogenesis of solid tissues, including the prostate and breast. So far, signalling pathways of several growth factors have been investigated. Besides such chemical factors, non-coding RNAs such as miRNAs have recently gained much interest because of their variety and complexity of action.

- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetic patients in Warangal over six months, evaluating factors like hypertension and obesity.
- Results showed that metabolic syndrome was more common in men (54.8%) and in normal weight patients (43.56%), particularly in those aged 51-60 years and among sedentary females.
- The findings indicate a significant relationship between metabolic syndrome and older age in non-obese males, suggesting a need for further research in larger populations to validate these results.
Prior research points to a meaningful confidence-accuracy (CA) relationship for positive identification decisions. However, there are theoretical grounds for expecting that different aspects of the CA relationship (calibration, resolution, and over/underconfidence) might be undermined in some circumstances. This research investigated whether the CA relationship for eyewitness identification decisions is affected by three, forensically relevant variables: exposure duration, retention interval, and divided attention at encoding.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical valve thrombosis poses serious risks for pregnant women due to increased blood clotting, making effective anticoagulation essential.
- A study analyzed 250 pregnancies in women with mechanical heart valves, comparing the effects of continuous oral warfarin versus a combination of heparin and warfarin.
- Results indicated that warfarin is safe to use during pregnancy, with low rates of complications and no significant differences in miscarriage rates between treatment groups.
Anaesthetic considerations in a patient with right heart thrombi-in-transit.
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
January 2005
This is a case report of a patient with underlying pulmonary thromboembolism who was diagnosed as having a large, mobile right heart thrombi while undergoing treatment with low-molecular weight heparin. She underwent emergency embolectomy with exploration of the right heart under a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Soon after induction of anaesthesia, the patient had an episode of severe hypotension, which responded to inotropes.

The aim of the present paper was to assess the anatomic and physiological factors that may contribute to faecal incontinence following a technically satisfactory lateral internal sphincterotomy by a group of colorectal specialists.
Methods: Fourteen patients (nine women, five men; median age: 38 years; range: 23-52 years) who developed troublesome postoperative faecal incontinence were evaluated by clinical assessment, endoanal ultrasonography and anorectal physiological studies (manometry, pudendal nerve terminal motor latency) by two independent observers.
