Pathological examinations of lymph nodes (LN) in prostate cancer patients are handled differently at various institutions. The objective of this study is to provide means to improve the guidelines by examining the impact of step sectioning on LN status in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer. Two hundred ten patients who awaited curative indented therapy were included.

We sought to investigate whether SHFJV(SG) would provide more effective ventilation compared with single-frequency JV techniques.
Methods: A total of 16 patients undergoing minor laryngeal surgery under general anaesthesia were included.
Article Synopsis
- Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) decreases with age and may serve as a marker for aging, prompting a study of its relationship with physical ability and cognitive function among 548 same-sex twins.
- The study found a significant positive correlation between LTL and physical ability, indicating that higher physical ability scores are associated with longer telomeres, equivalent to about three years of aging effects.
- However, no link was established between LTL and cognitive function, reinforcing the idea that LTL may reflect physical health rather than mental capability in older adults.
