Importance: Report of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated iris smooth muscle tumor.
Observations: A 14-year-old African American female diagnosed with AIDS developed a painless iris mass in the right eye for 10 months. Iridocyclectomy was performed, and the pathology indicated EBV-associated iris smooth muscle tumor with epithelioid morphology. Immunohistochemical stains and in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded ribonucleic acid are very useful diagnostic tools for definite diagnosis. At 14-month follow-up, the patient did not have any tumor recurrence.
Conclusion: This is the case report of EBV-associated iris smooth muscle tumor in a person diagnosed with AIDS with a unique epithelioid morphologic feature.

Investigation of 3D iris morphology early alteration after implantable collamer lens implantation by using SS-OCT.

Department of Cataract, Shanxi Eye Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, 030001, China.
Purpose: Using a fully automated multitask deep learning method, which enabled simultaneous segmentation and quantification of all major anterior segment structures with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), we aimed to investigate the three-dimensional (3D) alterations in iris morphology before and after implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery.
Methods: All enrolled patients underwent anterior segment SS-OCT (ANTERION) within one week before and after ICL surgery. A multitask network automatically performed iris SS-OCT image segmentation and quantitative measurements of 3D iris morphology (iris thickness and volume of the inner 1-mm annular area and the outer 1-2-mm annular area, iris curvature [I-Curve], and iris smooth index [SI]).

Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, C/Diego de Leon, 62, 28006, Madrid, Spain.
Purpose: To compare iridian Swept-Source Anterior Segment OCT (SS-AS-OCT) and microbiological features in Aqueous Humor (AH) in patients with Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS) and Posner-Schlossman Syndrome (PSS).
Methods: Comparative, retrospective-prospective single center study examining 131 eyes from 66 patients, including 33 eyes with PSS, 37 eyes with FUS, and 61 healthy eyes. AH samples were collected from affected eyes in all patients.
Geographical disparities in cancer and occupational exposure to pesticides in a French-West Indies territory (2006-2019).

Article Synopsis
- A new study in the French West Indies examines the connection between chlordecone pesticide soil contamination and cancer rates in Martinique from 2006 to 2019, using a more sensitive contamination indicator.
- This study analyzed data from 23,218 cancer cases, finding that women exposed to higher soil contamination levels showed an increased risk for several cancers, including lung and thyroid cancer, while no significant correlation was observed for breast or prostate cancer.
- The findings suggest that women in Martinique are disproportionately affected by chlordecone exposure, highlighting the need for ongoing research into the environmental impacts of pesticides on public health.
