196-200. Recent studies conducted on miners at necropsy and on those attending a pneumoconiosis medical panel have suggested that the punctiform type of opacities are associated with a significant gas transfer defect and with emphysema. However, a 10-year follow-up of a random sample of miners and ex-miners in the Rhondda Fach found that the mortality experience of those with the punctiform type was, if anything, more favourable than that for other types of pneumoconiosis. This may be related to radiographic technique, but there may also be physiological reasons. There was no evidence that those with the punctiform type had different smoking habits from those with other types of pneumoconiosis.

High-Pressure Injection Injuries of the Hand: A Report of Three Cases Presenting With Acute Compartment Syndrome.
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Burns Unit, Coimbra Local Health Unit, Coimbra, PRT.
Article Synopsis
- High-pressure injection injuries in the hand often result from industrial tools like paint guns or air compressors, typically affecting laborers' non-dominant hands and causing damage that’s often underestimated despite appearing as a small puncture wound.
- These injuries can cause severe complications such as neurovascular compromise and acute compartment syndrome due to the spread of injected materials that can be toxic and lead to further tissue damage or infections.
- A presentation of three cases highlights urgent surgery needs for patients who experienced severe pain and swelling after different injected substances, leading to procedures for decompression, irrigation, and tissue removal to prevent serious outcomes.
The Visualization and Frequency of Cerebral Cavernous Angioma on Magnetic Resonance.
Acta Inform Med
January 2023
Department of Neurology, University Clinical Center Tuzla, Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Background: Cavernous angiomas (CAs) are abnormal, congenital, vascular malformations, which often grow in size over the course of life. Conservative treatment, microsurgical resection, and stereotactic radiosurgery are the three main options for treatment of CA. Radiological studies play a key role in diagnosis, with magnetic resonance (MR) being the method of choice.

Introduction: Cutaneous manifestations related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common and associated with high morbidity. Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) occurs mostly in diabetic or CKD patients, namely those undergoing hemodialysis.
Case Report: A 58-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, with long-term insulin use, several microvascular and macrovascular complications, and on maintenance hemodialysis for 5 years presented with a 1-week history of painful, pruritic, umbilicated papules and some punctiform necrotic lesions on his left forearm, both hands, and both amputation stumps.
HSV-1 infection and pathogenesis in the tree shrew eye following corneal inoculation.

Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection causes inflammation in the cornea known as herpes simplex virus keratitis (HSK), a common but serious corneal disease. It is not entirely clear whether the virus during recurring infection comes from the trigeminal ganglia or the eye tissue, including the retina and ciliary ganglion. Because the tree shrew is closely related to primates and tree shrew eye anatomic structures are similar to humans, we studied HSV-1 corneal infection in the tree shrew.

China is a hotspot for hot springs and during microbial diversity analysis of Tengchong hot spring, Yunnan province, south-west PR China, two strains designated SYSU G01001 and SY-13 were isolated. SYSU G01001 and SY-13 were Gram-stain-positive, motile and spore-forming. Colonies were white, circular, raised and punctiform.
