A 32-year-old male with a past history of bilateral laser-assisted keratomileusis (LASIK), presented with a decrease in vision in both eyes (BE). Clinical examination showed diffuse corneal haze and interface fluid syndrome (IFS), which was confirmed on anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) were low; however, digital tonometry indicated a raised IOP in BE, which was confirmed by measuring IOP with GAT, outside the peripheral edge of the LASIK flap.

Listeria outbreaks and food recalls is on the raise globally. Milk particularly is highly susceptible to Listeria as its production and storage adequately support Listeria growth. The extent of milk contamination with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) and preventative actions to halt milk associated outbreaks in Africa are unknown.

The Black-white Depression paradox, the lower prevalence of major depression among non-Hispanic Black (relative to non-Hispanic white) individuals despite their greater exposure to major life stressors, is a phenomenon that remains unexplained. Despite a decade plus of research, there is little clarity as to whether the paradoxical observations are an invalid finding, spuriously produced by selection bias, information bias, or confounding, or are a valid finding, representative of a true racial patterning of depression in the population. Though both artefactual and etiologic mechanisms have been tested, a lack of synthesis of the extant evidence has contributed towards an unclear picture of the validity of the paradox and produced challenges for researchers in determining which proposed mechanisms show promise, which have been debunked, and which require further study.

An unseparated serum specimen for a 36-year-old male was received from primary care. The specimen arrived in the laboratory at Cork University Hospital one day after collection, as documented on the paper request card, and was promptly centrifuged. Analysis was delayed for three days due to operational constraints and serum indices were run at the same time as the biochemical analyses.
