The Ribosomal Database Project.

The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome-related data, analysis services, and associated computer programs. The offerings include phylogenetically ordered alignments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, derived phylogenetic trees, rRNA secondary structure diagrams, and various software for handling, analyzing and displaying alignments and trees. The data are available via anonymous ftp (rdp.life.uiuc.edu), electronic mail (server/rdp.life.uiuc.edu) and gopher (rdpgopher.life.uiuc.edu). The electronic mail server also provides ribosomal probe checking, approximate phylogenetic placement of user-submitted sequences, screening for chimeric nature of newly sequenced rRNAs, and automated alignment.

Animals

Two stage scrotal flap urethroplasty.

This technique is derived from the Denis Browne two-stage technique for hypospadias. It was developed by Johanson and perfected by Turner-Warwick. It uses an invaginated flap of scrotal skin sutured to the edges of the exposed stenotic urethra. The second stage (2 to 3 months later) closes the urethra in two layers. No statistics are available for the results obtained.

Humans

Prostatic enlargement.

The management of prostatic hypertrophy should be geared towards operation before outflow obstruction leads to bladder wall damage, acute retention or chronic renal failure.

Aged

The residual renal stone.

A study of the observer error built in to contact preoperative radiography for renal stones shows that particles less than 2 mm in diameter are likely to be missed. The radiographic follow-up of 100 patients from whom 120 large staghorn calculi have been removed over a period of up to 10 years shows that new calculi may form in kidneys which have been completely cleared, and that residual stones do not always grow, but equally often pass spontaneously, or remain unchanged.
