Introduction: The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace is changing the way organizations function, and profoundly affecting employees. These organizational changes raise crucial questions about the employee's future and well-being. Our study aims to explore the intersection between artificial intelligence and employee well-being through a bibliometric review and a contextual analysis.

Introduction And Importance: Ocular involvement in lichen planus is highly uncommon, primarily affecting the eyelids, conjunctiva, and less frequently, the cornea. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK), a rare subtype form of corneal lichen planus, has been reported only once in the literature.

Case Presentation: The authors report details of a 34-year-old man with confirmed cutaneous lichen planus who developed severe PUK, a rare ocular manifestation of lichen planus.

Article Synopsis
  • Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital eye disorder caused by the failure to properly absorb the hyaloid system and often appears unilaterally in three forms: anterior, posterior, and mixed.
  • A seven-year-old patient was referred for bilateral papilledema and showed excellent visual acuity, but fundus examination revealed signs of pseudopapilledema and a distinct band near the optic disc.
  • Ocular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed a diagnosis of bilateral posterior PFV, indicating a case of papillary traction syndrome.

The present study compiles the results of our own research and of a prior study on beta-thalassemia (thal) in Morocco, comprising a total of 187 beta-thalassemic chromosomes. Six major mutations: (beta0) codon 39 (C --> T), (beta+) IVS-I-6 (T --> C), (beta0) frameshift codon (FSC) 6 (-A), (beta0) FSC 8 (-AA), (beta0) IVS-I-1 (G --> A) and (beta+) -29 (A --> G) account for 75.7% of the independent chromosomes studied.

A comprehensive hematological and molecular analysis of 57 beta thalassemic heterozygotes, 28 homozygotes, 18 double heterozygotes, 3 compound heterozygotes beta thal/beta S and one compound heterozygote beta thal/Hb Newcastle, in 46 Moroccan families with at least one beta thalassemia patient is reported. Six major mutations: beta(0)39 (C-->T), beta(0)FsCD8(-AA), beta(+)IVS1,nt6 (T-->C) and beta(0)IVS1,nt1 (G-->A), beta(0)FsCD6 (-A) and beta(+)-29 (A-->G) cap site account for 75% of the 86 independent beta thal chromosomes studied. For the first time, an extensive mutation/haplotype study has been performed on the Moroccan population, and data are consistent with the geographical location of the country and historical links with both the Mediterranean and the Sub-Saharan Africa communities.
