Leiomyoma Of The Uterus

Leiomyoma of the uterus is the most common benign tumor arising from uterine smooth muscle. This is a case of a woman with an exophytic uterine leiomyoma mimicking an ovarian neoplasm. The potential for uterine leiomyomas to grow to an extreme size before causing symptoms is quite remarkable. This is likely due to the relatively large volume of the abdominal cavity, the distensibility of the abdominal wall and the slow growth rate of these tumors. In our case report, despite a fibroid of size reaching up to 34 weeks of gestation, our patient had minimal symptoms except for abdominal discomfort. There were no symptoms related to abnormal uterine bleeding or abnormal bowel or bladder habit. Also, the history and clinical examination of the patient favored a diagnosis of ovarian malignancy.

The paranasal sinus osteoma is a benign tumor characterized by a slow growth rate. Initially, the symptoms are uncharacteristic in most of the cases, afterwards they can cause headaches, nasal obstruction, epiphora etc. The authors present the case of a 45-year-old patient from IFACF - ENT “Prof. Dr. D. Hociota” with a history of frontal headache and retrobulbar pain, which started about 6 months ago. The endoscopic and computer tomographic exam mark the presence of a left frontoethmoidal tumor with bone consistency. The surgical approach was combined, with the complete macroscopic removal of the tumor and ensuring the physiological frontal sinus drainage.

Uterine fibroids are commonest benign tumor of the uterus. Histologically this tumor is composed of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue, so named as uterine leiomyoma, myoma or fibroma. The cause for some of the most common gynecological problems among women presenting to gynecology emergency and outpatient departments. They are often asymptomatic but they can cause a multitude of symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, a feeling of pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence or retention, or pain. Uterine fibroids are a major cause of morbidity in women of a reproductive age (and sometimes even after menopause). There are several factors that are attributed to underlie the development and incidence of these common tumors, but this further corroborates their relatively unknown etiology. The most likely presentation of fibroids is by their effect on the woman’s menstrual cycle and pelvic pressure symptom.

Fibroid/Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the uterus, arising from uterine smooth muscle. Atypical leiomyomas are rare forms of Myoma (fibroid uterus), of which recurrent atypical leiomyoma post hysterectomy is rarer and its converting in leiomyosarcoma arising from vault is rarest.  Here we report an unusual case of a 76yrs female, with leiomyosarcoma in an atypical leiomyoma arising from vault post-hysterectomy. A 76-year-old P3L3 patient presented with pain and distension of abdomen, post hysterectomy done 4 years back for chronic inversion and cervical fibroid polyp she was diagnosed as atypical leiomyoma. Laparotomy was done with a provisional diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. Though Rarest (0.13-0.26%), a differential diagnosis of neoplastic changes should be kept in mind in patients with atypical leiomyoma, in patients presenting with any mass/pain abdomen, irrespective of any gynaecological complaints. This case shows that though it is unexpected after hysterectomy, leiomyosarcoma has to be considered in a case of abdominal mass. Atypical leiomyoma develops approximately in one to five cases out of 1,000 women with fibroid and it getting converted in leiomyosarcoma is rarest. Hence, diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma should always be kept in mind though the patient is hysterectomised.

Estimated expenditures on brood-care by unassisted female superb lyrebirds, obtained through time-energy budgeting, were compared with published values for other bird species. With the exception of nestbuilding, estimated daily expenditures were relatively low, due mainly to the small brood size and low level of parental attentiveness. It is suggested that the traits which reduce daily brood-care expenditures, particularly the small brood size and extremely slow growth rate, may have evolved as adaptations which enabled deserted females operating close to maximal capacity to cope with single-parenting. Male parental involvement could probably increase the growth rate of the young, but not brood size; moreover, egg- laying was sufficiently asynchronous to afford multiple mating opportunities to parentally emancipated males. However, the slow growth rate of the young results in relatively large overall brood-care expenditures for females. Investments by males of up to 50% of daylight hours and 45% of BMR on singing at the height of the mating season were comparable with those of partially emancipated, polygynous males of other species. They probably reflect the high level of competition to control good display areas and to advertise status and quality to widely spaced females.

The mucocele of the appendix is the expansion of the appendix with the accumulation of a large amount of mucus. The mechanism and causes of mucocele are not fully understood. According to some authors, such changes in the appendix can occur due to cicatricial narrowing of the lumen of the appendix, compression or blockage of its base. Other authors believe that the mucocele of the appendix is a benign tumor that develops from the remnants of primitive mesenchyme and is sometimes prone to malignancy. Clinical manifestations of mucocele of the appendix are nonspecific. In a number of patients, this disease causes pain in the right abdomen, more often pulling, intermittent. However, the disease is often asymptomatic. In this regard, diagnosis is established only during performing an operation, most often, regarding acute appendicitis. Nevertheless, instrumental diagnostic methods such as ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdominal and pelvic organs make it possible to suspect mucocele. Despite the frequent asymptomatic, non-aggressive course, a number of life-threatening complications can become the outcome of the mucocele of the vermiform appendix. The most formidable complication is the rupture of the appendix with mucus entering free abdominal cavity, followed by the development of peritoneal pseudomyxoma due to implantation of mucus-forming cells. The only option for radical treatment of the mucocele of the appendix is a surgical intervention. A presented clinical case demonstrates the difficulties of diagnosis, as well as the features of surgical treatment of a patient with a mucocele of the appendix.

Rooting Capacity

The natural population of Taxus baccata L. (Himalayan Yew) throughout the Indian Himalayan Region is greatly reduced due to its extensive and reckless exploitation for “Taxol” an anticancer drug. The effects of overexploitation are exacerbated by the species poor regeneration process, slow growth rate and prolonged seed dormancy. Therefore vegetative propagation by branch cuttings seems to be only practical solution for its large scale multiplication. A study was conducted on six candidate trees (CTs) to examine the effect genotype, physiological age of stem, IBA treatment on rooting of Taxus baccata cuttings. Results revealed that rooting behaviour of cuttings was significantly affected by all the factors under study. Among the six CTs studied, CT 2 (from BSI, Shillong) had given the highest rooting response (46.28%). The juvenile cuttings have the higher rooting capacity; however the callusing was more prominent in mature cutting. The influence of IBA treatment was also significant for rooting where 1000 was most effective for stimulating rooting juvenile cuttings and 2000 ppm in mature cuttings.

Abstract ATP is generated in mitochondria by oxidative phosphorylation. Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase or NADH dehydrogenase) is the first multisubunit protein complex of this pathway, oxidising NADH and transferring electrons to the ubiquinone pool. Typically Complex I mutants display a slow growth rate compared to wild-type plants. Here, using a forward genetic screen approach for restored growth of a Complex I mutant, we have identified the mitochondrial ATP dependent metalloprotease, Filamentous Temperature Sensitive H 3 (FTSH3), as a factor that is required for the disassembly of Complex I. An ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutation in FTSH3, named rmb1 (restoration of mitochondrial biogenesis 1), restored Complex I abundance and plant growth. Complementation could be achieved with FTSH3 lacking proteolytic activity, suggesting the unfoldase function of FTSH3 has a role in Complex I disassembly. The introduction of the rmb1 to an additional, independent, and extensively characterised Complex I mutant, ndufs4, resulted in similar increases to Complex I abundance and a partial restoration of growth. These results show that disassembly or degradation of Complex I plays a role in determining its steady-state abundance and thus turnover may vary under different conditions.
