Unilateral Corneal Ectasia After Bilateral Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, The University of Jordan, Amman, JOR.
We present the case of a 23-year-old male who experienced vision loss in his left eye 15 months after undergoing bilateral transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK). Despite the absence of any significant preoperative topographical risk factors in either eye, corneal ectasia was later confirmed in the left eye, while the right eye remained normal. Subtle asymmetry in topometric indices and a borderline high Index of vertical asymmetry (IVA) reading suggested the possibility of early subclinical keratoconus, potentially increasing the risk of post-refractive ectasia.

Cardiovascular Medicine, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Peshawar, PAK.
Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves outcomes in patients with ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, but accurate patient selection remains critical. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging aids in assessing myocardial viability, a key predictor of surgical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of myocardial viability on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.

Department of Radiotherapy, Liaocheng Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University (Liaocheng People's Hospital), Liaocheng, Shandong, People's Republic of China.
Introduction: Superior orbital fissure syndrome (SOFS) is a rare condition that involves damage to multiple structures within the superior orbital fissure, often caused by trauma, inflammation, or tumors. Lung adenocarcinoma, known for its propensity to metastasize, can lead to orbital metastases, which can manifest as SOFS. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such rare metastatic presentations.

Department of Neurology, Guangxi University of Science and Technology First Affiliated Hospital, Liuzhou, China.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the underlying causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approaches of trauma-induced invasive syndrome (KPIS) through a rare case report. By highlighting the role of trauma as a potential trigger for KPIS, particularly in high-risk populations such as individuals with diabetes, this study seeks to provide valuable insights for improving clinical outcomes and promoting public health awareness.
Background: invasive syndrome is a multi-organ infectious disease commonly associated with complications such as liver abscess, lung abscess, endophthalmitis, and purulent meningitis, with high mortality and disability rates.
Inflammatory changes in the choroid plexus following subarachnoid hemorrhage: the role of innate immune receptors and inflammatory molecules.
Front Cell Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia.
Introduction: The choroid plexus is located in the cerebral ventricles. It consists of a stromal core and a single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells that forms the blood-cerebrospinal barrier. The main function of the choroid plexus is to produce cerebrospinal fluid.
