Varroa species, commonly known as the honey bee mites, poses a significant challenge to the worldwide beekeeping industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of haplotype variation on morphology of Varroa destructor. Forty-one apiaries across Bingol province (Türkiye) and its districts were visited using random sampling to examine 2440 honey bee colonies.

Purpose: This study aims to present a case involving intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) surgery, followed by the development of ghost cell glaucoma (GCG).

Methods: A 25-year-old man with a history of post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma underwent uneventful 360° GATT surgery.

Results: Two weeks after the surgery, while the reason for the incomplete resolution of hyphema remained unclear, intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle and hemorrhage in the inferior vitreous were observed during the patient's follow-up examination.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on olfactory pathways by analyzing 63 autopsy cases, comparing 37 COVID-19 victims with 26 non-COVID controls.
  • Researchers measured various anatomical structures in the olfactory system and found significant reductions in the volume, weight, and dimensions of the olfactory bulbs and tracts in the COVID-19 group.
  • The findings suggest that COVID-19 causes notable damage to the olfactory centers, indicating the importance of understanding these changes for clinical and future research efforts related to the disease.
