The study, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, found an association between hormone levels and prostate volume.
A study published in Archives of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery found no evidence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria in enlarged adenoids of children. However, Candidatus Wolinella africanus was detected in one hyperplastic adenoid sample, suggesting occasional reflux episodes may contribute to the disease's pathophysiology.
Long-term finasteride use has been shown to reduce disease progression and improve urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The treatment also reduces the risk of acute urinary retention and surgical intervention, making it an effective option for men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms.
The Endocrine Society recommends that every newborn be screened for CAH, and positive results be followed up with confirmatory tests. The guideline also outlines treatment recommendations, including minimizing glucocorticoid dosage and considering patients' quality of life.
Researchers analyzed 12 focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) lesions and found polyclonal nature with no loss of heterozygosity in most cases, contrasting with 40% monoclonality in altered hepatocytes. This study provides an approach for differential diagnosis and may lead to further understanding of early human hepatocarcinogenesis.
Scientists have identified genetic mutations on chromosome 17q24.2-q24.3 as responsible for Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis Terminalis (CGHT), a rare condition characterized by excessive hair growth and facial distortion. The discovery provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying this condition.

Mayo Clinic researchers found that young women with atypical hyperplasia had a relative risk of developing breast cancer almost six times greater than those without BBD. A strong family history of breast cancer slightly increased the risk in two other forms of benign breast disease, but only marginally.
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that women with atypia in their breast tissue are nearly eight times more likely to develop breast cancer. The study, led by Mayo Clinic, improved risk prediction by taking into account age at diagnosis and multiple sites of atypical hyperplasia.
A study by Mayo Clinic researchers found that men who took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) had a 50 percent lower risk of developing an enlarged prostate and a 35 percent lower risk of moderate to severe urinary symptoms compared to non-users.
