Papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst: A case report.

A thyroglossal duct cyst is a benign congenital lesion present in 7% of the population. Malignant transformation is rare, with an incidence of 1%, 90% of which are papillary carcinomas. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman with an asymptomatic 2.

New corneal neovascularization model in rabbits for angiogenesis research.

Purpose: To evaluate a new experimental model of suture-induced corneal neovascularization (NV) for angiogenesis research.

Methods: The new model was created in the right eye of 20 New Zealand rabbits using 5 interrupted silk sutures following an inverted triangle pattern. At different time points after suture placement, calibrated photographs were taken to quantify the corneal surface covered by the sutures (SCS) and the corneal NV response.
