A 71-year-old male with an enlarged prostate seeks a surgical solution for frequent nighttime urination, but is concerned about side effects. The most common surgical treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), but there are now less-invasive options available. Adding progesterone to hormone replacement therapy reduces the risk of uterine cancer by inhibiting cell growth and promoting cell differentiation. Solar purpura, a condition characterized by easy bruising and tearing of the skin, is caused by cumulative sun damage and can be treated with citrus bioflavonoid supplements or a diet high in citrus and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method to map the human auditory pathway, which could help determine the best surgical approach for profound hearing loss. The technique combines track density imaging and probabilistic tractography to provide a detailed view of the auditory and language pathways. The study focused on congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which has been increasing in prevalence. The findings suggest that the language pathway is more affected by inner ear malformations and cochlear nerve deficiencies than the central auditory system, highlighting the importance of early interventions for proper language development.
