Antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates and syndromic treatment of men with urethral discharge in Kingston, Jamaica, 2018-19.

Objectives: To quantitatively determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from men with urethral discharge in Jamaica and to describe the syndromic treatment therapies administered.

Methods: Urethral eSwabs (Copan) were collected from 175 men presenting with urethral discharge to the Comprehensive Health Centre STI Clinic, Kingston, Jamaica. Clinical information was collected and MICs of eight antimicrobials were determined for N.

Automatic view planning for cardiac MRI acquisition.

Conventional cardiac MRI acquisition involves a multi-step approach, requiring a few double-oblique localizers in order to locate the heart and prescribe long- and short-axis views of the heart. This approach is operator-dependent and time-consuming. We propose a new approach to automating and accelerating the acquisition process to improve the clinical workflow.

External radiotherapy for carcinoma of the eyelid: report of 850 cases treated.

Purpose: We report a retrospective series of 850 patients treated by external irradiation for carcinoma of the eyelid at Institut Curie and we compare our results with other techniques: brachytherapy and surgery.

Methods And Materials: Eight hundred fifty patients were treated by external radiotherapy for carcinoma of the eyelid. None of these patients have been previously treated.

An experience of the use of radioactive plaques after failure of external beam radiation in the treatment of retinoblastoma.

The authors have reviewed the results of radioactive plaques in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam radiation in 34 eyes. They give their results on ocular conservation and on the visual outcome and compare these results with other series previously published. They think radioactive plaques are an alternative to enucleation in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam.
