Surface-Coil MRI for Small Peripheral Choroidal Melanoma: Imaging in a Rabbit Eye Model.

Introduction: Imaging of small peripheral choroidal melanomas remains challenging in clinical and experimental settings, requiring wide-field ophthalmoscopy modalities. In this study, we applied surface-coil MRI to assess imaging feasibility for small peripherally located choroidal melanoma in a rabbit eye model.

Methods: A female albino rabbit with a body weight of 2.

Mycobacterium avium Auricular Infection in an Apparent Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report.

Introduction: Soft tissue infections with Mycobacterium avium complex are more likely to appear in immunocompromised patients. However, they may rarely arise in non-immunosuppressed individuals.

Aim: To present the case of an ear infection with Mycobacterium avium in the absence of demonstrable immunosuppression.
