Adenovirus infections are common. The period of virus replication is short, hardly ever exceeding two weeks. In 216 patients we studied the post-inflammatory period after infection with adenovirus types 8, 4, 3, 7, 19 and 37, in some patients up to three years. In 49.5%, the initial infection also involved the cornea, in 79.5% bilaterally. In 50.5% there was only follicular conjunctivitis. The post-inflammatory period is most annoying as rather frequently a considerable period of chronic eye irritation can be expected. In our study the number of cases with post-infectious ocular irritation tended to decrease slowly. Treatment with 0.5% methylcellulose was of little help to alleviate the ocular irritation.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established and effective treatment for advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. While commonly performed in older patients, THA is increasingly used in younger individuals, especially in cases of secondary coxarthrosis. Technological advances have led to the development of specialized implants, which allow surgeons to address severe post-inflammatory or dysplastic deformities.

Article Synopsis
- Facial photoaging, mainly caused by UV radiation, leads to various skin issues like hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, prompting the need for effective treatments.
- This study examined the effects of treating 20 Chinese women with a combination of picosecond alexandrite laser (PSAL) and long-pulse alexandrite laser (LPAL) over three sessions, assessing both the skin's condition and patient satisfaction.
- Results showed significant improvements in multiple skin indices, high patient satisfaction (average score of 4.67), and no severe side effects, indicating that this combined laser treatment is both effective and safe for addressing facial photoaging.

Article Synopsis
- - Solar lentigo is a common skin condition caused by sun exposure, characterized by increased melanocyte activity and melanin accumulation, which can lead to complications from traditional treatments like prolonged redness and hyperpigmentation.
- - In a study involving six Korean patients, the Vasculature Salvage Laser Surgery (VSLS) system, using a specific laser technique, was employed to treat solar lentigo in a single session with follow-ups from 3 to 10 weeks.
- - Results showed complete removal of the lesions with no post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and only mild temporary redness as a side effect, indicating that VSLS may be a safer and more effective option, although further research is needed for long-term evaluation.
