AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A 75-year-old man had undergone bilateral intracapsular cataract extraction and then a scleral buckling procedure for an aphakic retinal detachment in the right eye. He presented 15 years later with a dark brown mass in the superior fornix of his right eye. On the basis of the clinical findings, the diagnosis of a conjunctival melanoma was considered. The lesion was surgically excised and found to be a chronic hematic cyst that arose adjacent to a episcleral sponge placed at the time of retinal detachment surgery. Hematic cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of pigmented conjunctival lesions.

A 49-year-old female patient, asymptomatic, presented to the cardiology office for a right atrial mass, identified incidentally in a non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated contrast-enhanced computed tomography, performed for follow-up of pulmonary tuberculosis. Echocardiography, surprisingly, showed an anechogenic ovoid mass in the right atrium measuring 40 × 40 mm, implanted in the interatrial septum without affecting the tricuspid valve. ECG-gated computed tomography angiography (CTA), confirmed the dimensions of the mass, which presented homogeneous content, calcified areas, and a 12-mm pedicle implanted near the ostium of the coronary sinus.

The fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence forms part of the vast majority of current diagnostic protocols for brain MRI. This sequence enables the suppression of the signal from cerebrospinal fluid, facilitating the detection of disease involving the subarachnoid space. The causes of hyperintensity in the arachnoid space in this sequence can be divided into two main categories: hyperintensity due to disease and hyperintensity due to artifacts.

Purpose: To report two rare cases of orbital cholesterol granuloma (CG) presenting with ptosis and proptosis.
Methods: The first case was a 31-year-old male presented with progressive ptosis of the left eye (LE) during the past year and the second case was a 35-year-old male presented with proptosis of the right eye (RE) for 5 months ago. Orbital computed tomography revealed a cystic well-demarcated lesion in the superotemporal orbit with adjacent bone erosion in the LE of the first case and the RE of the second case.

Introduction: Long-term follow-up course for patients with idiopathic pleural effusions has not been established.
Methods: From October 2013 to June 2021 all patients with idiopathic effusion were prospectively followed up with clinical examination and imaging at 1, 3, 6 and every 6 months for a minimum of 1 year.
Results: Twenty-nine patients were diagnosed with idiopathic effusion and followed up.

The world population is rapidly aging. This should cause us to reflect on the need to develop a new nutritional approach to mitigate the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage. A randomized, double blind, controlled study was carried out on 60 elderly male and female subjects.
