Retrorectal cystic hamartoma (hindgut cyst) is a rare developmental lesion arising from the vestiges of the embryonic hind gut. Other developmental cysts can occur in retrorectal space. Anal gland cysts can develop near the anal sphincter. All these cysts are similar to retrorectal cystic hamartoma and their exact diagnosis depends on the histopathological examination including immunohistochemical profile. Retrorectal cysts are asymptomatic in 50% of the cases and the lesion is an incidental finding. http://www.physorg.com/news147351428.html Medicine & Health Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:57:08 EST news147351428 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new study of hailstorms in Sydney has found many of the city's roofs are unable to resist the large hailstones expected to hit every 10 years. http://www.physorg.com/news144346547.html Technology Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:15:47 EST news144346547 Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells that affects approximately 3 in 100,000 people each year. Although there is no cure for this disease, researchers have developed treatments that help relieve pain, control complications, and slow the progress of MM in many patients. Unfortunately, some of the most effective therapies also have toxic side effects that can pose serious health risks and reduce quality of life. In the October issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, two articles authored by Mayo researchers address the issue of how to balance the risks and benefits associated with MM treatments. http://www.physorg.com/news142527625.html Medicine & Health Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:00:25 EST news142527625 Toshiba today announced enhancements to its line-up of NAND-flash-based solid state drives (SSD) with the addition of an industry-leading 256-gigabyte (GB) SSD and the launch of a series of small-sized Flash Modules for netbook computers ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) and other mobile and peripheral applications. The new drives will be showcased at the CEATEC in Makuhari, Japan, from September 30 to October 4. http://www.physorg.com/news141655990.html Electronics Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:53:10 EST news141655990 In the Future Zone of this year`s IFA trade fair in Berlin, Philips Research will demonstrate its thinnest 32`` liquid crystal display (LCD) prototype on show. With a 1mm light guide, Philips Research has created a display prototype of only 8mm. When incorporated into a TV set, Philips expects that this ultra-thin LCD will tap into consumers` desire to easily hang their flat-screen TVs on the wall - just as they would do with a painting. http://www.physorg.com/news139162691.html Electronics Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:18:11 EST news139162691 University of Panama and Smithsonian researchers report the discovery of a new Bagworm Moth species, in the Annals of the Entomology Society of America. Unlike nearly all other Bagworms, Perisceptis carnivora have predatory larvae. Strangest of all, according to Annette Aiello, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, the adult moths wrap their eggs individually in beautiful cases fashioned from golden abdominal hairs called setae, a behavior unique among insects. http://www.physorg.com/news136543649.html Biology Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:47:29 EST news136543649
