Published: April 2013

The diagnosis and treatment of orbital and periorbital malignancies are challenging. These tumors can result in blindness, death, and significant cosmetic deformities. Herein, we present the most common ocular malignancies and a systematic approach to diagnosis. Further, we integrate the seventh edition American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, biomarkers, and multidisciplinary approaches to treatment.

Background: CD4+ T lymphocytes are key immune cells involved in orbital inflammation in thyroid eye disease (TED). Inhibition of their activity is important in treatment of TED, but effective drugs targeting these cells are lacking. The programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 pathway has been implicated in several T-cell-mediated diseases.

Introduction: Superior orbital fissure syndrome (SOFS) is a rare condition that involves damage to multiple structures within the superior orbital fissure, often caused by trauma, inflammation, or tumors. Lung adenocarcinoma, known for its propensity to metastasize, can lead to orbital metastases, which can manifest as SOFS. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such rare metastatic presentations.

Currently, radiologists must interpret large quantities of images and identify diseases on a daily basis. The minimization of errors is crucial for high-quality diagnostic imaging and optimal patient care. Brain imaging is frequently used in clinical practice; however, radiologists are prone to overlook some regions in brain imaging and make perceptual errors, thus leading to missed diagnoses.

Amino-quinolines are potential candidates that may provide some insight into the current chemotherapeutic research due to their demonstrated anti-cancer activity. This led us to synthesize and explore a new amino-azo-quinoline ligand H2L 1 and its square planar nickel(II) complexes [Ni(HL)(OAc)], 2 and [Ni(HL)Cl], 3 and the structures were determined by SCXRD. Theoretical investigation of redox orbitals of the complexes discloses that the reduction process is due to ligand reduction whereas both metal and ligand are contributing towards oxidation.
