Splenic cysts are rare medical conditions, and their incidence is dominated by parasitic types. Non-parasitic splenic cysts, whether true cysts (with a cellular lining of the cystic wall) or pseudocysts (without a cellular lining), are significantly rarer than parasitic ones. Their etiology is not fully established, with fetal remnant development, metaplasia, and mesothelial invagination being widely accepted possible mechanisms.

Most commonly observed in postmenopausal women with a history of pelvic surgery or trauma, it necessitates prompt surgical intervention. We report a unique case of transvaginal evisceration in a 67-year-old postmenopausal female with rectovaginal prolapse following minor trauma.

Article Synopsis
  • MEIS1 is a key regulator in stopping cardiomyocyte cell division and is a potential target for heart-related therapies.
  • Inhibition of MEIS1 through new small molecules (MEISi-1 and MEISi-2) boosts the growth and division of neonatal cardiomyocytes significantly compared to untreated cells.
  • MEIS1 inhibition not only reduces the expression of certain target genes but also enhances important cardiac-specific gene expression, suggesting these inhibitors could play a vital role in heart regeneration treatments.

Susac's syndrome is a rare inflammatory microangiopathy characterized by the triad of retinopathy, encephalopathy, and hearing loss. The syndrome causes recurrent microinfarcts in these organs, which in turn manifests with repeated attacks of visual field loss, hearing loss and tinnitus, and various brain syndromes. These often lead to the significant accumulation of disability over time, particularly if there is a delay or failure in diagnosis.
