: Ocular proprioception is implicated in balance control and heterophoria is associated with abnormal posture, though previous research focused mainly on the role of vertical phoria and the use of vertical prisms. This study aims to evaluate whether ocular misalignment and prismatic correction of horizontal phoria affect posture. : Sixty-nine ( = 69) young healthy subjects were included and equally divided by horizontal distance phoria: orthophoria ( = 23), esophoria ( = 23) and exophoria ( = 23).

Diagnostics (Basel)
November 2024
Background/objectives: Hidrocystomas, eccrine and apocrine, are rare cystic lesions that form benign tumors of the sweat glands. This study aimed to describe the clinical features of hidrocystomas and evaluate the role of non-invasive imaging techniques, including dermoscopy, Line-field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT), Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM), and Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound (UHFUS), in their diagnosis.
Methods: In total, seven cases of hidrocystomas were collected from the Dermatologic Clinic of the University of Siena, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Facial pigmented skin lesions are common, especially in South-European countries, and can be either malignant or benign; diagnosing them can be challenging, even for specialists like dermatologists.* -
- A study was conducted to assess the impact of a one-day dermoscopy training course on ophthalmologists, focusing on their ability to evaluate periorbital pigmented lesions through clinical and dermoscopic analysis.* -
- Results showed that before the training, ophthalmologists had an accuracy of 63.7%, but after the course, their sensitivity improved, indicating a positive effect of the training on their diagnostic skills.*
