The presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can be variable and related to the phase of the disease. It can manifest a wide range of symptoms and signs; ocular involvement is reported in patients with leukemia at the time of diagnosis. We describe ophthalmic manifestations as an initial presentation in patients with CML. We identified 38 publications between 1971 and 2020 describing ocular manifestations in CML. Ophthalmic problems occur either from direct or indirect infiltration of neoplastic cells or from secondary causes. Although nearly all ocular structures may be affected, leukemic retinopathy is the most frequent clinical manifestation. Others include iris infiltration, anterior uveitis, hypopyon, exudative/serous retinal detachment, and optic nerve infiltration.

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy with varied systemic involvement and association with increased morbidity and mortality. Strong clinical suspicion is the key, and diagnosis is made using histopathology and serology. Though the consumption of a strict gluten-free diet can improve symptoms and limit mucosal damage, curative therapy is still lacking.

HIV infection frequently affects multiple systems, with hematological manifestations being the most prevalent. In some cases, cryptococcosis serves as the initial manifestation and a cause of infection involving HIV-positive patients. This case report describes a patient with thrombocytopenia who incidentally discovered infiltrating the bone marrow upon bone marrow smear examination, highlighting that examining bone marrow is essential in diagnosing pancytopenia resulting from opportunistic fungal infections like cryptococcosis, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems.

Osteointegration, the effective coupling between an implant and bone tissue, is a highly intricate biological process. The initial stages of bone-related immunomodulation and cellular colonization play crucial roles, but have received limited attention. Herein, a novel supramolecular co-assembled coating of strontium (Sr)-doped metal polyphenol networks (MPN) modified with c(RGDfc) is developed and well-characterized, for eliciting an early immunomodulation and cellular colonization.

Tourism, as an important manifestation of urbanization, is becoming increasingly popular. Although it offers numerous advantages for the local community, it also exerts a multifaceted impact on local wildlife. Previous research on the effects of tourism has mainly focused on protected areas or tourist spots, rarely considering the surrounding non-tourist attraction areas.

Prof. Miloš Nikolić, MD, PhD, University of Belgrade, School of Medicine,, Belgrade, Serbia;
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy, arising from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). BPDCN frequently has, at least initially, exclusively cutaneous presentation. We present a 45-year-old woman with a 3-month history of rapidly evolving violaceous patches, infiltrated plaques, and bruise-like tumefactions, disseminated on her face and upper trunk.
