We report an unusual case of unilateral spontaneous lens dislocation in a 52-year-old woman with a posterior polar cataract. We postulate that the increasing lens size secondary to nuclear sclerosis may have exerted pressure on a thinned posterior capsule, causing the capsule to rupture spontaneously. The unusual weak posterior capsule in posterior polar cataract is a well-recognized risk factor in phacoemulsification surgery. We believe this is the first report case of spontaneous lens dislocation secondary to posterior capsule rupture in posterior polar cataract.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the predictive accuracy of a new nephrometry model (RSR) for nephron-sparing surgery in pediatric patients with Wilms tumor, comparing it to existing models.
- Data from 58 pediatric patients were analyzed, calculating nephrometry scores such as RENAL, PADUA, and SPARE, and the RSR model showed superior predictive performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.982.
- The RSR model not only outperformed the other nephrometry scores significantly but also demonstrated good inter-rater reliability, leading to the development of a user-friendly web-based calculator for its application.

Natural nutshell extract was obtained by mechanical compression. The extract was combined with ethanol and a nonionic surfactant, and it was labeled as EES. The EES inhibitor effect on S135 carbon steel, exposed to a simulated marine-coastal environment (SME), was deduced by mass loss measurement, adsorption isotherm, electrochemical measurements, and surface analysis.

Small GTPases of the Rho family play a central role in the regulation of cell motility by controlling the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. In the amoeboid cells of Dictyostelium discoideum, the active form of the Rho GTPase Rac1 regulates actin polymerases at the leading edge and actin filament bundling proteins at the posterior cortex of polarized cells. We monitored the spatiotemporal dynamics of Rac1 and its effector DGAP1 in vegetative amoebae using specific fluorescent probes.
