Rapidly progressive orbital intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia in a newborn.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as "vegetant intravascular haemangioendothelioma", is a rare benign proliferation of vascular endothelial cells secondary to intravascular thrombosis and thrombus organisation. It can develop from vascular lesions such as haemangiomas, pyogenic granulomas or varicose veins. This vascular tumour of the skin and subcutaneous tissue may exhibit rapid and progressive growth, and is usually located in the neck or head.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's tumor) of the conjunctiva. Unusual location of a rare vascular tumor.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is characterized by proliferation of endothelial cells usually occurring within a long-standing vascular malformation or tumor. IPEH usually affects neck, head and lower extremities, and few orbital and eyelid cases have been reported. We present a unique case, a 48-years-old man with a purple, elevated, multilobular conjunctival lesion of three-weeks duration that underwent an excisional biopsy.

Conjunctival myxoma: A systematic review of a rare tumor.

Conjunctival myxoma is an uncommon benign tumor that may develop as a localized disease or as part of the Carney complex, in which case it can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Conjunctival myxomas can mimic other pure or mixed tumors and are often overlooked in clinical practice. Histopathological studies are essential for diagnosis; however, controversy regarding their pathological and immunohistochemical features makes the diagnostic process more difficult.

Full- versus partial-thickness sutures: experimental models of corneal injury repair.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of full-thickness (FT) versus partial-thickness (PT) sutures in a full-thickness corneal wound in an animal model.

Methods: This is a prospective, experimental, comparative, longitudinal study. A 6-mm linear, full-thickness corneal incision was performed on the right eye of eight domestic pigs.

Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma arising from an ectopic lacrimal gland involving both nasal orbits: a rare clinical entity.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a slow-growing, locally invasive tumor of epithelial origin. The common sites of origin are the minor and major salivary glands and also the lacrimal glands. ACC accounts for 4.

Comparing cytology, colposcopy and human papillomavirus cervical intraepithelial lesion screening methods in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective: To compare the performance of cytology, colposcopy and human papillomavirus in detecting cervical intraepithelial lesions in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Methods: Papanicolaou smears (normal, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion), colposcopy findings, human papillomavirus and co-testing (Papanicolaou smear + human papillomavirus) were compared with cervical biopsy findings in women with systemic lupus erythematosus. Sensitivity, specificity, false-positive and false-negative rates, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios of cytologic smears, colposcopy findings, human papillomavirus and co-testing were determined.

Intravitreal bromfenac liposomal suspension (100 μg / 0.1 ml). A safety study in rabbit eyes.

Introduction: There is a need to find alternative treatments for MEe. Bromfenac has shown promise in inhibiting the COX-2 enzymatic pathway that partially causes the inflammatory cascade which contributes to the precipitation of ME. However, like other NSAID's, its intraocular half-life is limited.

Seventy-five years of cardiovascular rehabilitation in Mexico.

Patients suffering from cardiovascular disease require comprehensive medical attention that involves therapies and procedures necessary to reintegrate them optimally to their personal, family, work, and social life. Interventions aimed at achieving these goals are included in cardiac rehabilitation programs. These programs are designed to limit the harmful physiological and psychological effects of heart disease, reduce the risk of sudden death or reinfarction, control cardiovascular symptoms, stabilize or reverse the atherosclerosis process, and improve the psychosocial and vocational status of patients.

Pleural tuberculosis.

A 35-year-old woman with previously untreated latent tuberculosis was admitted to the hospital for management of a right-sided empyema. After a prolonged hospitalization and several interventions, including chest tubes, bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, and a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, positive acid-fast bacilli cultures on the initial thoracentesis ultimately led to the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis. This case highlights the importance of utilizing a combination of diagnostic tests to diagnose pleural tuberculosis, especially in the setting of a negative pleural adenosine deaminase level.

Just another metastatic carcinoid tumour to the uveal tract.

We describe the clinic, image, and histopathologic features of a well differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (carcinoid tumour) metastatic to choroid and ciliary body in a 52-year-old Mexican Mestizo man. The ophthalmologic examination showed an inferior choroidal mass accompanied by exudative retinal detachment. Ultrasound B-Scan study revealed a diffuse thickened choroid with overlying serous retinal detachment, ultrasound A-Scan revealed a high internal reflectivity solid lesion.

Primary conjunctival myxoma: case series and review of the literature.

Aims: Myxomas are benign soft tissue tumours resembling primitive mesenchyme. They rarely involve ocular structures, and have been recognized in the conjunctiva, eyelids, cornea, and orbit. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological features of seven patients with primary conjunctival myxoma seen at Dr Luis Sánchez Bulnes Hospital, an ophthalmological referral centre in Mexico City.

Long-term follow-up of patients with choroidal neovascularization due to angioid streaks.

Background: The following case series describes the long-term anatomical and functional outcome of a group of seven patients with choroidal neovascularization (CNV), secondary to angioid streaks (AS), who were treated with antiangiogenic drugs in a pro re nata (PRN) regimen. After the 4-year mark, visual acuity tends to return to pretreatment level. Treatment delays and lack of awareness and self-referral by the patients are believed to be the cause of the PRN regimen failure.
