Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal01:27

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

12.6K
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...

The Nucleolus02:55

The Nucleolus

10.4K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

24.2K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

8.2K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.4K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rectal leiomyoma, a rare mesenchymal tumor, was incidentally found in a 33-year-old male during screening colonoscopy. This case highlights the importance of reviewing the diagnosis and management of such uncommon rectal tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Rectal tumors are frequently discovered incidentally during screening colonoscopies.
  • The World Health Organization classifies rectal tumors based on histologic appearance, including epithelial tumors, mesenchymal tumors, and lymphomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of rectal leiomyoma in a young male.
  • To discuss the uncommon incidence and management of rectal leiomyoma in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 33-year-old male diagnosed with rectal leiomyoma.
  • Literature review on the diagnosis and management of rectal mesenchymal tumors.

Main Results:

  • A rectal leiomyoma was diagnosed in the patient.
  • Rectal leiomyomas are a sub-classification of mesenchymal tumors, distinct from gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Rectal leiomyomas are rare, particularly in males.
  • This case warrants a literature review for understanding and managing uncommon rectal mesenchymal tumors.
