Laser treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients on oral anticoagulant therapy: a review.

20 Dec 2009 We assessed the therapeutic efficacy and safety of laser prostatectomy (LP) for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in patients on oral anticoagulation. We systematically reviewed previous reports, using the Pubmed database and ... Read more...

The microRNA bantam functions in epithelial cells to regulate scaling growth of dendrite arbors in drosophila sensory neurons.

22 Sep 2009 In addition to establishing dendritic coverage of the receptive field, neurons need to adjust their dendritic arbors to match changes of the receptive field. Here, we show that dendrite arborization (da) sensory neurons establish dendritic coverage ... Read more...

Selective laser trabeculoplasty for primary angle closure with persistently elevated intraocular pressure after iridotomy.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To determine whether selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) can lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with chronic primary angle closure, elevated IOP, and a patent iridotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with chronic angle closure who ... Read more...
